This weekend Tau and I had the opportunity to go to Las Vegas and meet up with Tau's wonderful parents. The hotel took great care of us while we were there and for that I will always think of them first when I need a place to stay in Vegas. The best part was that it was away from the strip so it didn't feel so dirty, but it was a close enough drive that we could still see all the things we wanted to.
We were lucky to have Tau's cousin Fa and his wife Shannon hang out with us while we were out there too. They took us to see the new City Center on the strip. It was so nice. I don't know if it was because the building is brand new, or because engineers learned how to ventilate casinos better, but it didn't stink at all. The whole casino was a work of art. These pictures don't do it justice.
Remind you of the terminator, anyone?
Tau and his dad with the King. Elvis Cirque du Soleil is the casino's show.
Noa had fun eating all of Grandma and Grandpa's gelato.
Tau, Shannon, and Fa at the City Center
They had an awesome waterfall outside and a miniature water show (not as huge as Bellagio's, but it will still stop you if you're walking by).
Not a waste of kayaks. I think it's cool.
Exploring with Grandma. Yep, he's officially in his independent stage now. Help!

Thanks to Mom and Dad for watching Noa. That night they stayed in with him so we could go see Avatar in 3D with Fa and Shannon. I was dragging my feet to go, but Wow!! That was a cool show. I wish I was 10 feet tall and had a cool pony tail.
It was such a nice trip and we were so happy to be with family and just get away for a bit. Thanks again mom and dad, and Fa and Shannon for showing us a good time in Vegas.

P.S. Thanks again so much for the help with my hangers! Boy is that a useful trick!!!
Nice! I want to go to Vegas! Too bad I'm not willing to take the 6 hour flight to get out there! haha! Looks like you guys stayed in an awesome hotel and HECK YEAH Avatar is the BOMB DIGGITY!! LOVED the movie so much!! Glad you guys got to see it. Best part of your trip though sounds like the food. mmmm.... I have recently decided that I would much rather eat the food I like then have a 6 pack. Sure I'll still work out so I don't get too outta shape but I'm not going to deny myself the joy of eating awesome food for a six pack that no one will see but Taber! ha! (sorry Taber : ) anyway, love yer guts!
Fun times!! I'm so glad you guys had a great time and, not to be repetative, but Avatar was the bomb!! I'm glad you got to see it :) Can't wait to play with you again now that you're back.
You do have a cool ponytail! Haha, that park cracked me up. And Noa used to have a cool ponytail, unless you still haven't cut his hair since the last time I saw him, then he should have another one by now!
Oh Vegas...where have you been for the past 3 years? I miss the good ono food and the wonderful shows. Your pictures made me want to go again. As for Avatar, LOVED it so much! I cried...twice!...those stinkin humans :). Anyways, can't wait to see you guys in Feb.
