On the way to Vegas, there was major traffic at the Hoover Dam so we stopped to take a picture. (I have a picture from 2 years ago at the same sign while I was pregnant with Crew.) The car read 124 degrees at this spot. It was so HOT - It felt like we were standing in an oven.
We stayed at the Circus Circus and had no idea that it was one of the most run down hotels in Vegas - but we handled it for 2 days & Crew enjoyed all the Circus themed activities! he won 5 stuffed animals & was in heaven!
As we left Vegas, we made a stop at the Mirage to look at the fish, dolphins & tigers. Crew was in Awe...I wish I had the video camera to catch all his ewwws & ahhhhs. He is too cute!
Crew starting crying when we went to take a picture with Sigfried and Roy (Who can blame him.)
It was awesome to get so close to the dolphins!!! I think Crew wanted to jump over the wall & go swimming with them.
While we were there, some trainers came out and put a chain on this tiger. They enticed him with a piece of meat so he would get off the log. However, he started to fall when he got close to the ground. They are amazing animals. Look at those big paws!We had lunch at a new restaurant in the Mirage - it is in the location where the tiger exhibit used to be.
Over all it was a great trip. We'll go back to Vegas any time...just not stay at the Circus Circus. :)
