Las Vegas


We had a whirlwind day in Las Vegas. Leaving Saint George around 10 am and arriving in Las Vegas around 11:30 am for a few hours to roam around the city and do some shopping. I had forgotten how fast the drive was from Saint George to Vegas. We had bought tickets to see Mamma Mia at Mandalay Bay, so we dropped the car off there are began walking up the strip. I was in Vegas about a year ago and I was surprised at how much the city has and is changing. It is amazing the amount of money that is spent in this crazy city. But this is one of the best places to take pictures and people watch. I could seriously spend all day just watching people. So many cultures all in one place. Very interesting.

We had a good time shopping in Caesars Palace at the Forum Shops and wandering through the Venetian. These casinos are so much fun to wander through.

Mamma Mia was fantastic! I didn't know a lot about the show and was a little skeptical. I only knew that it had the music from Abba and not really being an Abba fan I didn't really know what to expect. I was beyond pleasantly surprised. I didn't know how much of Abba's music I already knew. I strongly recommend seeing this if you have the chance. Plus, there is something to say for seeing shows in Vegas. Where else could you where jeans and a polo, bring your drink into the theatre, your bags from shopping, and your camera?
