It was Easter weekend. Bill and the boys had a day off for Good Friday. The weather was hot but tolerable. We decided to take a little road trip and spend a few days in Las Vegas!

We got a room in Circus Circus overlooking the Adventuredome

We didn’t spend a lot of time in the casino itself because of the kids, but there were plenty sights and sounds sure to overwhelm!

The boys had a VR experience through the solar system

The first day we spent at the water playground

The swimming pool was PACKED, and this wasn’t even the busiest time of the day!

It felt like we were being cooked in a big pot of human soup. There wasn’t a lot of room to move. The hot tub was the worst!

Trevor got brave and went down the huge waterslide!

Which meant Bill had to go with him!

They do a lot of dancing until they realize you are watching.. or filming.

The next day we walked about 8 miles up and down exploring the strip. We rode the monorail and went through several of the different casinos. The boys wanted to see the Luxor and Excalibur. They all start to look the same after a while.

We spent time in the arcade in Excalibur, but the rides were a little… babyish

We got the all day pass to spend in the Adventuredome. The boys loved this bus ride and probably rode it 15 times.

Brendan did not want to try this ship ride, but Bill and Trevor did it at least three times.

Both of the real roller coasters were out of service which is kind of a ripoff when you pay for the all day ride pass. But the boys don’t think they were ready for them anyway. They liked the more calm rides.

These pictures portray what my vision was like after so much casino time

We got the old bait and switch on the 4D movie. It was supposed to be SpongeBob but it was an IceAge Scrat show instead. It was still cute.

Like Brendan

It is nice to have a theme park indoors. No sunscreen required!

High priced arcade games!

Brendan picked up a Las Vegas hat to keep the sun out of his eyes outside. It will sure help like this.

On the drive home, we stopped to visit the Hoover Dam. We were going to do the tour, but the car full of people were tired, it was very hot and we just didn’t feel like waiting.

So we walked around to see the dam and then continued home.
