Vegas Baby!!!

I've been meaning to blog about my Vegas trip for awhile now, so here goes...

At the end of March my friend Vinny and I decided to go to Vegas to see the Cubs v Mariners exhibition game. We decided Tuesday or Wednesday and left Friday morning. We drove down in time for the game on Friday. It was lots of fun! The crowd was pretty into it (at least where we were sitting) so that made it entertaining. In the end, my Mariners won.

After the game, it was still fairly early, so we went to play on the strip. We wandered around, the usual. We spent most of our time at the Belagio (or at least took most of the pics there). The garden was really cool this time. It was very Spring-y! They had made so many cool things out of the flowers. I think it might be my favorite!

I really loved the watering cans and the snail...
The fountain show was a classic as usual. And for those of you who are wondering... they didn't play the Pink Panther.
Saturday, we went to Hoover Dam. I had never been there, but I had heard great things from Les. It was a wonderful 85 degree day. The Dam was impressive, I must say. That thing is HUGE!!

The craziest part though, was the road they are building. It just sticks right out there...not quite how ya build something like that.

After the Dam we went back to the strip and chilled for a bit. The next day, as we were driving back from a beautiful weekend of 85 degree weather, it began to snow. By the time we hit Nephi, it was yucky weather the whole way home. We almost turned around and headed back to Vegas. All in all it was a great trip.
