| Richard and I at Hard Rock Cafe before dinner |
So after the pool, we rested for about a half hour then got ready to see the lights in Vegas and have some dinner. But first, we needed to ride the roller coaster in New York New York. My original plan was to videotape the ride with my Flip video camera...but that is a big no no. As a matter of fact all purses, cameras, phones, etc have to be secured in a locker (at a cost of 50 cents!) before the ride. What a thrill ride it was, though! Bumped us around a bit but that is to be expected. Hopefully the video I added to this post will help to shed some light on the NYNY thrill ride. It was a lot of fun. We took a few videos of the sights and sounds of Vegas; the street actors looking for a dollar here and there, the crowds of people, and the lights, so many lights...rivals Times Square, I'd say but with a much different clientele. Then we walked up to Hard Rock Cafe for a very lively dinner... not us, the waiters and waitresses dancing to the music videos playing loudly behind the bar!! It was a very enjoyable evening and a great first day.
Day is catching up to us now. I'm in need of a good night's sleep before driving up to Zion National Park tomorrow.
What fun riding the Roller Coaster. Vegas and all the lights, noise, people can be brain overload but it's an exciting place to visit.
ReplyDeleteZion National Park is a beautiful place to experience. Every turn in the road will be a photo opportunity. You'll take breathtaking photographs I'm sure, hard to take a bad photo there.
By the way, when did Richard get taller than you.

So glad you two are enjoying your trip so far. Las Vegas is quite the experience, nothing else like it. What's cool is the contrast between the glitz and the glamour, and the beautiful mountains, and then the desert once you drive outside the city limits. I agree with Donna, Zion is breathtaking, and the scenery driving up will tickle your senses! Can't wait to hear all about it!
