More Las Vegas

We had so much fun in Las Vegas!  Won a little money, lost a little less!  Nikki did really well  - she beat the penny and nickel slots ---- gotta get her into the $1 slots next time!  Luke and she both did well in roulette.  We watched guys put $1000 down on single bets....ouch!

Here are a few pictures.  Las Vegas is really divided up into two gambling districts - the old, original district, now called "The Fremont Experience" and the newer, bigger one called "The Strip".

The Fremont experience - old Las Vegas.  This original section is still gambling casinos, but the main street is covered by a sun roof.

 

Good thing, too, as it POURED rain while we were there!

The newer, glitzier strip has the huge casinos that take up full city blocks.

 

 

It was really a lot of fun, and we had a great time.  Today we left and drove the 150 miles to  Zion National Park.  We plan lots of sight-seeing tomorrow (by bus -- they are really restricting personal vehicle traffic into the National Parks).  We think this is going to be a great park!
