My Vegas Trip!

Me, Cody, Cory (Cody's brother), & Kazya (Cory's Fiance) decided on Wednesday that we wanted to go out of town. At first we were thinking camping. Fun & and not too expensive. Well everywhere you could go camping in Utah and Idaho had bad weather warnings, so we put our heads together. We were all determined to go out of town, but where? LAS VEGAS NEVADA! Why not right, we had enough to cover gas, they paid for the hotel, and I drove! Perfect idea! We booked the hotel, and planned everything out, and we left Friday for Vegas!
Our Hotel "The Vegas Club"
It only took us 6 hours to get there, we ended up in Vegas at about 6 or 7. We found our hotel with the help of Mapquest! We stayed @ The Vegas Club. Its right on Fremont street, so we got to have the Fremont Street Experience! The overhead TV screens were really cool, other than that there are a lot of weirdos that hang out on Fremont Street lol.

We got checked in and went up to our room. Simple two beds with a tiny TV and a terrible view! But I LOVED IT! We were on vacation, that was all I cared about. Poor Cody had gotten sick on the way to Vegas. He had a fever and simply felt like crap! So me and him stayed at the hotel and Cory & Kazya went out to check out the town! I took care of my Cody. Got him water, put a cold towel on his head. I just wanted him to feel comfortable. We watched "Pretty Woman" (i love that show) and went to bed.

The Fantastic Indoor Swap Meet! A lot of things in Vegas are Fantastic!

Me and Harry The Burmese Python
We woke up the next morning, and Cody was feeling better, so we decided to go to the Fantastic Indoor Swap Meet! This place was cool. It was $1 to get in but there was two miles of stuff! There was a reptile store in there, so OF COURSE I had to check it out. Harry the Snake was there! HUGE SNAKE scared me lol.

Harry Again! He was Huge!!!

After the swap meet, we went to the strip. We parked at the Luxor, and walked to the MGM Grand! I wanted to see the Lion Habitat. By far the coolest thing ever. The male Lion got so close I could have touched him if the glass wouldnt have been there. I loved it. After the MGM we went to the M&M and Coke Cola Store. It rained on us a little but it wasnt too bad.

After that we went back to the hotel and layed down for a little bit. We wanted to be rested for the night. Me and Cody went and got some food, and went and checked out the pool, it was too cold to swim, but the pool area was cool. To go on the strip that night we decided to take the bus to help preserve our gas to get home. So we walked to the bottom of Fremont Street and bought our bus tickets. Well we ended up giving away our bus tickets because they wouldnt let us take drinks on the bus. So we just took the car.

We parked at the luxor again, and went to the MGM. Cory and Kazya went and got food and me and Cody went out on the strip! He is a good tour guide! He showed me all the cool stuff, and told me about the strip! It was fun to be just the two of us. We walked down to Tresaure Island to see the show, but we missed it so we started to head back towards the car, (Cory and Kazya were waiting for us). We stopped in front of the Belagio for a little bit and then made our way back to the car. My feet hurt so bad! We layed in bed and watched TV for a little bit, and fell asleep.

The next day before we left we went to Jack in the Box for lunch. Which was cool, because I had never been there! It was actually really good. We headed out after filling up the gas tank in the Camary, and were home before we knew it. It was a fun trip, and it was great to get out of town for a weekend. But its good to be home!
