Las Vegas 2012 ~ Day 1

We were in the air to Las Vegas at 7:00, we arrived in Las Vegas in only 3-1/2 hours and was in our hotel room at The Orleans off the strip by 9:30am

We have a king room with a obstructed view of the pool.

Our room is very spacious & clean.    Since the room was exactly the same as our last stay, I won't be doing a separate post on the room.

We unpacked then bought a few things @ Walmart. We ate at The Courtyard restaurant. I had a grilled salmon salad, Ron had a California Cobb, both were huge and very good. Ron bet some horses & played some poker. I am suffering from jet lag so I just spent the rest of the day relaxing.

Getting Ready for Vegas 2012!!

It's time to update my must-see list for our Vegas 2012 trip, we leave this Sunday April 29th.  We have been to Las Vegas many times, while there are some things I like to do on every trip; walking the strip and visiting the "old vegas" each time I go. I try to add new ones each time, so far my list for this trip includes:

 

• The Blue Man Group @ Venetian~~This show has been on the top of my list for a while, it would be great to finally see it. If you have seen this show, I'd love to hear your thoughts on it!
• My 2nd choice will the the Jersey Boys also in the Venetian.
•  
• Grand Canyon South Rim~~We plan to do a day trip on Tuesday with a stop over at the World Famous Snow Cap Drive-in (Route 66) in Seligman Arizona and a brief stop at the Hoover Dam 
• Spa Day~~Of course no lady can visit Vegas without visiting a spa for a luxurious massage and treatment.
•  
• Italian Restaurant~~Italian food is a MUST during any trip to Vegas. The Roma was recommended by my former coworker and friend Sharron and is now our FAVORITE. It's a deli during the day but at night it is transformed into a intimate, delicious Godfather-type restaurant .
• The Mob Museum ~~ I'm a huge GodFather fan so I think this should be kewl. 
• Binion's Steakhouse ~~ This restaurant is in the Fremont Street area

I will let everyone know how it goes!
