Vegas Adventure/ラスベガス大冒険

To start our Thanksgiving Holiday we decided to take advantage of the low hotel prices in Vegas this time of year and took the 4 1/2 hour drive on Saturday morning to show Madison the bright lights...what we didn't expect was a light show from the heavens as well during our rainy drive...
サンクスギビングのある今週は学校が休みだったのでここから4時間半の所にあるラスベガスへ行く事にしました...先週の土曜日に家を出発そして行きがけに見たのは虹!

Our first night was spent at Circus Circus and we were welcomed with quite a view...
緊急に一日早く行く事にしたので最初の日はサーカスサーカスに宿泊、景色は最高...
The circus acts were something to behold...
無料で見れるサーカス競技もすごい...
Our room had a painting with a bunch of animals in it...Madison spotted the dog and immediately started saying Won Won (Japanese way of saying doggie) while pointing...
僕達の部屋の壁に掛かっていた絵に犬がいたんだけど、それを見つけるなりマディソンはワンワンって:)
And Madison enjoyed brushing up on her complimentary rules of blackjack, roulette and craps...
ホテルの部屋にあったルールの本を読んで勉強中のマディソン...

While at the circus we dined on pretzels and Chinese food...
最初の夕ご飯はプレッチェルと野菜炒めご飯...

Madison danced to the music while waiting for our food...
ご飯を待っている間音楽に合わせて踊っています...
Sunday afternoon we moved on to our permanent home for the next three days...Mandalay Bay...it was a really nice room, but we forgot to take pictures...sorry...
次の日はここに居る間泊まる事になるマンダレイベイへ...やっぱりサーカスサーカスよりも断然綺麗な部屋でとても気に入ったんだけど、写真を撮るの忘れちゃいました...

The rest of our time was spent seeing the sights and relaxing as Madison is showing at the Bellagio while we wait for the fountain show...
それから3日間はいろんな建物を見に行ったり...3人でくつろぎながらベラジオの次の噴水ショーを待っています...

Time for a quick snack at the Venetian...
ベニーシャンでおいしいジェラート休憩...
Outside the Bellagio, right before the fountain show...
ベラジオの外で、噴水ショーがもうすぐ始まります...
Fountain show!!!...
噴水ショー!!!...
Atrium of Bellagio filled with glass flowers...
ベラジオのロビーにあったとても綺麗なガラスの花畑...
Conservatory at Bellagio...
ベラジオの室内園庭...
Dessert platter at Bellagio Buffet which was quite yummy...
ベラジオのバイキングにはこんなに美味しそうなデザートが沢山...
What we loved most about Vegas was how easy it was to get from one hotel to another since we had our car...and since the temperatures were in the 50s and the winds on Sunday were in the 50s, we were happy to be able to travel by vehicle...we read the Bellagio's buffet was one of the best so we decided to splurge on that one...we also enjoyed Caesar's a lot and the Venitian and our own Mandalay Bay (which is known for its incredible pools which were unfortunately closed) but we still managed to have a really good time on our mini-vacation!!
結構寒い日が多かったので車で移動する事が出来てとても良かったよ。沢山あるホテルの中で気に入ったのはベラジオ、ベニシャン、シーザーズパレスと僕達が泊まったマンダレイベイかな:)また戻って来るのが楽しみです!!

  1. That looks like so much fun! Circus Circus was my favorite as a kid. There's one in Reno as well, where we went far more often. Vegas has grown SO much since I was a kid... it would be fun to go back sometime. And Madison is looking so much older! I can't believe how much she's grown just since August!

  2. Looks like you managed to hit most all the hot spots of Vegas and get a real feel for the place during your mini vacation. Love that beautiful glass ceiling at the Bellagio. And like the Belaggio, the Paris Hotel also has an outstanding buffet!
