Evening view of the Bellagio with Caesar's Palace next to it

Dale Chihuly designed this glass ceiling which lets natural light through to the Bellagio reception area.

Daytime view from our room of the "lake" with the fountain machinery

Bro-in-law Dwanye digs into chocolate pancakes at a local IHOP

Darcie and Cly do the Hoover dam tour.

Las Vegas temple - we went through the 10:30 session on Oct 4 - it looks big on the outside but it's actually smaller than the Cardston temple.

Darcie's sister Sherie (yes, she's pregnant with Dylan) and Dwayne

After visiting the temple, the "king of good ideas" Dwayne decided we should go to an authentic Mexican restaurant.

The food was great! Our waitress didn't speak any English and we didn't speak any Spanish but we managed to get by.

While Darcie was getting our tickets for Mama Mia!, Sherie put a dollar into a slot machine and won some cash! * Beginner's luck - she decided to cash out while she was ahead. * Photo may not be 100% accurate

We saw every M&M product available at the M&M store in Showcase mall.

Walking up and down the Vegas strip made us really tired.

Ferrari display in Caesar's Palace

Giant aquarium in Caesar's Palace.

The largest Hawaiian shirt in the world at the Alladin - 400XL. Cly would have to eat at many a buffet to fit in this thing.

Cly's long lost cousin.

New York New York hotel & casino - yes, the hotel rooms are actually in those recreated buildings of the New York skyline. Darcie rode the roller coaster (Manhattan Express) while Cly looked in the gift shop because he was too chicken (as usual).

Another view of the New York New York.

The newest mega-resort in Vegas

The Wynn has a Ferrari dealership but it was closed when we visited.

The Wynn's interior is super exquisite!

One of the waterfalls outside the Wynn.

We saw Mama Mia! at the Mandalay Bay. Cly won the tickets by guessing the weight of the United flight we took to Vegas. Cly guessed 143,000 lbs and was only 200 lbs off the exact weight of 143, 200 - 14 people on the flight guessed within 1,000 lbs of the weight.

Monte Carlo

Sherie and Dwayne stayed at the MGM Grand - the world's largest hotel.

Treasure Island - we saw Cirque du Soleil - Mystere here.

No photography was allowed during the show but Cly figured it would be okay to snap a quick photo of the Mystere snail while we were walking out.

Not an uncommon sight in Vegas!

The Venetian was Cly's favorite resort to explore.

Lots of pretty architecture at the Venetian

and some of Darcie's favorite stores

These candy apples at the Venetian were very large!

The Venetian offers both indoor and outdoor gondola rides.

We took an indoor ride.

Our gondolier, Umberto, sang some Italian songs.

Cly ran into some famous individuals at Madame Tussaud's in the Venetian.

Cly and the Intimidator.

Some opera guy

Interesting artwork in the Venetian at the entrance to Tao, an Asian reastaurant.
