Hey Baby, Let's go to Vegas!

Thuc decided that for his Birthday, he wanted to go to Vegas. He had received an offer for $109/night at the Wynn and just couldn't pass up such a great deal!

The hotel was fantastic. They gave us a room on the 56th floor which provided a great view of the strip! Each night we saw fireworks from our bed that were at the show at Treasure Island across the street.

We were able to see several shows when we were there. The first night, we saw "Dirty Hypnotist Unleashed". Since we got in that day, the "1/2 price tickets" were few & far between. Needless to say, it wasn't our favorite. They even pulled Thuc up to get hypnotized but he said it didn't work. He could have fooled me! It probably helped that they took his glasses & so when his eyes were open, he couldn't see anything!! They asked him to point to someone in the audience and say what they were "into". The just flung his finger out and when they asked who he was pointing at, he said he didn't know. They thought that was soo funny :).

Our favorite were Mystere & Le Reve. Le Reve was originial in that it is in a pool stage. Sometimes the floor was there and at other times, they were dropping people from the top of the arena down in to deep water. Crazy. We were also impressed with how well they held onto eachother to do their stunts when they were wet. Impressive.

We also saw Wayne Brady who is so talented! He's good looking, funny, intelligent, and a great singer. It sounds like he's trying to break out into the music world & so half of his show was basically a concert. He has a great voice.

It appeared from our window that their "China Town" was within runable distance. We laced up our shoes and began running up the street until we ran into the interstate. We probably had to go a mile out of our way to get around it! Regardless, we made the trip on 2 seperate days to enjoy authentic Vietnamese food.

We only had pool weather on Monday and Friday of our stay, but we took advantage of every minute we could! Overall, a great idea for a great vacation!
