Becca's Excited GIGGLE is what I will remember most of this entire trip! Opening the door to the room it filled the air....but let me back up for the rest of the day...
We left Flagstaff and the trees and entered back into the desert. We came up with a song about how the desert had stolen our santity and we wanted it back. THANK heavens for Las Vegas! Oasis in the desert....well inside the room at least.
Outside Sedona we went to a cool place called Slide Rock where you can slide down the rocks in the creek...red rocks all around and desert...Can you tell I am tiring of the desert? Anyway...neat place but totally not worth the $20 enterance fee...YIKES. We have rocks like that but not red at Camp Creek....and its free.
Sedona was pretty. VERY RED. Did not stop as we were in a hurry to get the heck out of the desert and to Vegas. Karen (our GPS) DID NOT assist us in Prescott (which by the way they say this name really weird!). Lost for 45 minutes. Fabulous.
Finally ended up on Route 66 for a short time...then to the interstate...remember HURRY and get OUT of the desert!
Going toward Hoover Dam was great. Open road...hardly any traffic...HOT 104 yesterday. We soon found where all the cars were...in a HUGE not moving line at the dam. Had to go through a sherrif check point to make sure no one is going to blow up the dam. We were clear. For the next 15 miles we moved at 2.6 miles an hour or less according to Karen. When we finally did get to the dam we were going slow enough that we could take pictures from our car. SWEET! Bec said "yep...big dam. Now can we go faster? Its hot!"
FINALLY! We drove into Vegas. Why do I pretend that I can drive in the city? This Freeway to that Freeway..merge quick...cut off this person...AHHHH! Lost for another 30 mins again. Fabulous.
Got to the Bellagio...went in the taxi line instead of Vallet...had to drive between the planters to get to vallet...SWEET. Making my country girl entrance already!
Bell boy comes takes our luggage and wonders if he should take the ice chest that Chris found on the highway...HA! Anyway...he goes one way with it and we head inside...Bec would like to know "where is he taking my stuff?" She asked 3 times where our luggage was.
Her eyes opened up wide and she was taking it all in...the people the noise...everything. She liked it except all the people that were "smoking and ruining their lungs" oh and "the icky billboards with that girls butt showing"
Our room is AMAZING. She just kept squeeling. Pool visit and more amazement...all the pools are 3 and 1/2 feet deep...she can touch across the whole pool as big as a football field! Get ready for dinner. Dinner at a swanky restaurant (Del Monico Steakhouse).... "Its too fancy and BORING" HA! Bellagio fountain show and the garden....
Walking back to the room at about 10:30 (when the party is beginning) she wanted me to know that "those ladies going past us should be very careful...their showing a lot of their....you know!"
Room was "turned down" for us...radio on soft music..robes on the bed..slippers on the floor...pillow mints...bathroom organized...she could not believe someone had been there..."its like Santa came".
What a WONDERFUL experience I had with her. Now...take a shower and bath in the HUGE Bathroom and head to HOLLYWOOD!!! Im sure to get lost there!
