Vegas Baby....

On the way to Vegas we passed this new art exhibit that is painted limestone boulders stacked on top of each other that stand 30-50 feet high and will be on display for 2 years.  Created by Swiss artist Ugo Rondinone and opened May 11, 2016.  Cost a mere 3.5 million dollars which was privately funded.
We always stop at Big Al's Oyster Bar for some fresh yummy oysters.  Then we walked around the hotel before coming back to eat some Jambalaya.  So yummy! 
While we were there we also ate at Fudruckers, Bailiwick and watched a band play and got a chocolate treat at Rocky Mountain Chocolate Factory thats right before you go to the elevators leading to the rooms...{pretty tricky of them to put it there}
Hitting the poker machine at the bar for some free Milagro Silver Tequilla Shots before the movie starts.  We saw Assassins Body Guard with Ryan Reynolds and Samuel Jackson.  Was a good action/comedy...We also saw Atomic Blonde with Charlene Therone, it was ok but not as good as we thought it would be...]
TG for the empty theater with the comfy reclining seats while buzzing on 3 dbl shots.  lol

We gambled the $97.00 we took up in change that we'd saved in our 5 gal. sparklettes water bottle, ate and drank but didn't win enough money to write home about.

And we try to stop at Outdoor World and the Silverton Hotel to gaze at the huge fish tank and jelly fish aquarium

And then we were on our way home, stopped at IN & OUT at the Lynwood off ramp to get some fries and lemonade...took off and the air quit working, was so hot... Started working again after we almost melted, should have seen us eating our fries and dipping in ketchup with the windows down...Too funny...

It was great getting away for just a few days, a break from life.
