The Dubs In NC: vegas

I know it has been over a month since I promised more pictures and such from my trip to Vegas back in May, but it has been crazy here!

My mom and I went to Vegas not really knowing what shows were out there. And, let me tell you, there are tons! We decided on The Blue Man Group! Wow! That was a fun show! I wish I could share videos but they pretty much threaten you before the show starts that if you video or take pictures, your seat will be ejected from the theater! Hilarious! These guys are amazing because we laughed and laughed but they never spoke. Not once. The show involves lots of special effects with black lights, florescent paint, odd musical instruments and some science. We sat in the Rear Orchestra and got a good view of everything. The front five rows of the theater are called "Poncho Area" as they give them plastic ponchos to wear, in case they get paint on them.

Here I am all "decorated" for the show. They tell you that the more "decorated" you are, the more the Blue men know you want to interact with them during the show. And, well, let's just say that white streamer has a lot to do with the end of the show.

When Mom called to reserve the tickets the ticket lady said it best: "You will laugh and have a great time but when it is over, you won't know how to put it in words." If you get a chance to see the Blue Show, DO IT!

After the show, I got to met each of the three Blue men that were in the show.

The Blue Man Group was playing at the Venetian so we decided to walk to the Bellagio to see the water fountain display. Mom had been before but was still amazed. I think these two things were my favorite part of the Vegas. Now, don't get me wrong; if I had hit the jackpot (or...well...won ANYTHING!) that would have been my favorite part. However, the day of Blue Man Group and Bellagio was the best! I took a bunch of pictures but here is my favorite picture (again!) and a video!

Make sure you turn up the volume so you can hear the song they are playing with the water. Oh, and pause the playlist running on the right side of this page! The video is in a separate post due to computer difficulties. Check the entry just below :)

Enjoy!

The much awaited pictures of Vegas are here!!

So I have a ton of pictures so I'm going to try and share a few of my favorites. We had a great time and the weather was wonderful. It had been between 100 and 105 degrees up until the day we flew from Wichita. It was about 70 degrees during the hottest part of the day for our three days!

We stayed the Luxor hotel. I had a good experience there. The shower in our room was really my favorite part of the room, hehe! HUGE walk-in shower with granite/slate tiles.

A shot of me in our room.

And the view from our room on the side of the pyramid. We were on the 8th floor.

And what else would you got to Vegas for....haha!

Mom at Mandalay Bay, our favorite casino during the trip!

Lunch buffet at Mandalay Bay. YUM-O! And no, I did not eat all of these items! My mom and I had a bite of each one. Oh, and yes, there is more than one plate on the table! :)
