A few months ago, Ron was listening to the radio and a promotional trip for Tahiti Village in Vegas came on. You get a 4 day 3 night stay at one of the hotels on the strip, free show tickets, free dinner, $200 slot credits, and a certificate to either get married or renew your vows. So he called them up and we finally were able to go. We left the kids with my parents and were off. We got there Tuesday night to the Stratosphere (where we stayed), went and had dinner at the Hard Rock Cafe', Wednesday was the Tahiti Village presentation for about 3 hours (great idea, no $$), had lunch at the hotel Roxy's Diner, walked the strip a little, went to our free show American Superstars (celebrity impersonators Elvis, Tim McGraw, Rod Stewart, Christina Aguilera & Michael Jackson), went to Excalibur for their Tournament of Kings dinner show (VERY entertaining!), walked the strip a little more, Thursday we started at Mandalay Bay and worked our way up the strip, stopped at the Casino Royale to use up our slot credit (no jackpots!), had dinner at Hooters (don't worry, the "hooters" weren't all that spectacular!), then went up to the top of the Stratosphere (we were too chicken to go on the rides) Friday we went to the Fashion Mall and then to Caesar's Palace for an AWESOME buffet, and then it was time to come home! We had a great time and it was nice to get away for a couple of days! Here's a bunch of pictures of the trip.

If I could sum up our trip in one word, it would be "walking!" We walked EVERYWHERE!!! It was a lot of fun, though! I'm not going to miss the cigarette smoke, the same sex couples, or the millions of guys that stand next to each other and hand out their "girls, girls girls" cards! They were SOOOO annoying!
