Yesterday, after shopping on the Promenade for Black Friday deals for a few hours, the family hit the road for Las Vegas! Trung had heard a few weeks back that Thanksgiving was the best time to go because the hotels are inexpensive; he booked us a room at Treasure Island for 1/3 of the usual going price. The drive wasn't too bad, about five hours not including a 45 minute dinner break.
Today we had a late breakfast at a restaurant in the hotel and then drove over to Circus Circus. I have been to Las Vegas twice and had never been to the hotel, which truly is a child's dream come true. They have circus acts going every half hour, arcade games, an amusement park, and more! We had a Mexican lunch at the hotel before heading back to the main part of the strip, where we showed the girls around the Bellagio and where they experienced their first Vegas buffet.
Impressive acrobats
The girls weren't that impressed though
The girls thought we would win skeeball easily like we did on the pier, but that certainly wasn't the case here.
An angled air hockey; Sophie would jump every time she hit the puck
The Batman laser challenge
Don't hit the laser!
The always beautifully decorated Bellagio
With a cornucopia of pumpkins
This is how Sophie looks every morning now, always complaining about something. I hope it is a stage she will grow out of real fast.
Watching the famous Bellagio dancing fountains. The girls still thought World of Color at Disneyland was better. :P
The Ly's in Las Vegas
Dancing in Vegas
We waited 2.5 hours for the Caesar's Palace buffet and it was quite good, though not worth the wait (and $160). We ate at 8:30 and quite literally stuffed ourselves silly.
This is what a tummy ache looks like.
