Viva Las Vegas

On our way home from California, we stopped for a night in Las Vegas.  Our friends, the Nimer's, were wonderful hosts!  We loved seeing them again.  The next morning, we went downtown to sightsee.  Monday mornings are the most family-friendly time to be in Vegas. 
We went through Ceasar's palace.
 Jared found the Eiffel Tower... in Vegas. 
 We found lots of pretty fountains. 
 I was SO excited to show Jared the water show at the Bellagio.  Unfortunately, the shows don't start until 3pm and we had to leave around noon.  BUT, we got a little tender mercy: right as we walked by, they ran a test-run show to make sure all the fountains were working.  We actually ended up seeing TWO songs in a row!   It was even better than a normal day!  We really lucked out!
 Of course we had to stop by the Venetian since my brother has spent nearly the last year living near Venice.  It was fun to see the Gondolas go by.  
It was just a quick stop, but it ended up being a great morning before jumping back in the car to drive the rest of the way home.
