It's Vegas Baby!

What happens in Vegas...is on this blog!

At the Venetian Hotel

First night out on the town with my sister Carla and her husband Mike! We had a blast!
This is Carla & Renee on Fremont street at night


Paris Las Vegas at night!






Sigfried & Roy statue


Watch out Brian! Grrrrrrr!


All the different colors of M&M's



The first illustrations of the M&M candies, drawn in 1954, Brian loved seeing all the different illustrations starting at 1954 through 2010! It was really cool to see.


Excalibur at night


We stayed at the Golden Nugget and they had an amazing pool. The slide went from the 3rd story down through a shark tank, then into the pool! It was amazing. They had over 10 different kinds of sharks in the tank!




In front of New York New York!


Before we went into Excalibur



The night at the GAMGA (German American Masquerade Association) Masquerade Ball!


Carla & Mike in their masks


My Grandma & Grandpa Dancing at the ball. My Grandpa is wearing his Prinz hat for the festival.


This is our table representing Michigan for the festival. If you ever want to see a group of adults return to childhood give them a few balloons to play with, I have never seen faces light up so fast! They had a lot of fun!


Brian, Renee, Grandma, Grandpa, Mike, and Carla at the Masquerade Ball


At the Palazzo, what an amazing view!




This ones for Ingrid!!!
Can you believe that a Bonanza Gift store doesn't have Bonanza souvenirs?! No joke, not one Bonanza item in the entire store! Sorry Ingrid
