Millers do Vegas, cont

It's our first full day and I am already starting to get anxious that our vacation is almost over.
I am a little nervous about my ankle but I am also not really thinking that it's very practical to walk around Las Vegas in a boot so I stuffed a few ace bandages/wraps in my purse and we were off.
Here goes nothin'!


 We were up early today.  Chris Miller did not want to waste one second of her time sleeping.  There were machines that were hungry for her $5 bills!  We talked her into walking around to see the other casinos.  We walked in and out of each casino on our way down the strip. 
We spent quite a bit of time at the Venetian.  Such a gorgeous hotel with so much character.





  We took in the sites and sat for a while and listened to the Gondola drivers (is that what they are called?!) sing as they chauffeured their passengers from one end of the hotel to the next.
The live statues were a sight to see and one of our favorite stops was the HUGE candy store!
  

We walked around the Wynn and admired the gardens.



We stopped at Senor Frogs for lunch and then made our way back to the Flamingo to hit the pool.


As soon as we made it to the pool we realized that it was a 21 and older pool and an ID was required to get in.  Kim and Kari had left their IDs up in the room so we took a chance.
Kim approached the guy, he asked for her ID, when she said she left it upstairs and she was with her twin, he told her she would need it to get in.  Kari approached the guy, she told him that she had forgotten her ID up in the room and he said "You'll be fine ma'am".
As Kari was happy to not have to walk back to the room to get her ID she was not the happiest with the man's assumption.  We got a good laugh about that for days!


Tonight we decided to head Downtown.
But first dinner!
We decided on PF Changs for dinner which was DELICIOUS and a perfect choice!
We made sure to see the Bellagio fountain show before we caught our cab to bring us Downtown.




Fremont Street did NOT disappoint!
The 'Vegas' people were out in full force, the music was loud and there were signs of life everywhere!


Sometimes it was a little too loud and a little too lively but NOTHING that a good ol' foot long drink can't fix!


My ankle is holding up ok.  It gets really swollen by the end of the day but the fam is great about taking breaks when I need them and as long as I keep pumping the Ibuprofen the pain isn't too bad (until night time when we stop moving and I am trying to sleep).
