Viva Las Vegas

On our way to Las Vegas, we saw more mountains. They were brown, like most of the mountains in California, but there were some Joshua trees around. So we are getting back to a little green(we miss green!).


And just when you thought you were getting nowwhere, look at us!
After a lot of not much to look at, we made it to Las Vegas. While there, we were able to have dinner with my cousin and her husband. A big thank you to them for suggesting we go to one of the restaurants in the Bellagio for dinner. What a beautiful hotel!
These are a couple of the displays they had. The hotel was decorated for autumn with tons of real plants.

When you first walk in the front, you are greeted with this gorgeous ceiling art piece by Dale Chihuly, a big name in glass blowing art. Grandma, he had(or still has) a piece we saw at the Milwaukee Art Museum.
The Bellagio also has dancing water shows in front of the hotel. This was a very cool thing for us to see. You'll see the Eiffel Tower in the background. We know someone special that works there!

And lastly, this is the view of the sunrise out or our hotel room(really nice). And so, with a new day began a new opportunity to see something different this country has to offer.
