Vegas - 3rd and final weekend

(we have not had internet access until now, so this posting is 5 days late; our return adventure is in full force, so please check back soon for more updates and pictures) 


As usual, our last weekend in Vegas was another busy one.  We finished our last day of work and both facilities were sad to see us go.  We headed to the Venetian for dinner at the Grand Lux Cafe just off the casino floor.  Then we took a ride on a Gondola through the canal in the middle of the Venetian hotel.  From there, we walked outside along the strip to watch the Sirens of ti show outside of the Treasure Island hotel.  The show was a little cheesy, but entertaining.  

Saturday morning we met Jodi’s uncle at the Original Pancake House (again) in the Green Valley Ranch Casino.  The breakfast was just as good as the first trip.  That afternoon, we took our Florida Law exam which turned out to be much harder than expected.  We hope to get the results sometime this week.  That night, we headed up to the Anthem Country Club for Burger night one last time with Jodi’s uncle and his sister and brother in law.  The curly fries were fantastic and it was the best Bison burger Tim had ever eaten.  

Sunday morning, we packed up the apartment and prepared for our cross country trip.  We then headed to Mount Charleston for a scheduled horseback riding trip at 1:00.  We arrived at 12:30 to find out that our trip was overbooked and there were no broken horses for us to ride.  Due to our busy schedule and plans to leave town we were unable to wait for the next ride nor reschedule.  Sadly, we had to leave Vegas without our horseback riding trip through the mountains.  So we returned to the apartment to finish packing.  Sunday night, we headed back to the Strip to see Celine Dion at the Coliseum at Caesar’s Palace.  It was a great show with a very talented orchestra and man, can that woman sing!  

We are sad that our time in Vegas is over, but had a great time while we were here.  There was plenty that we did not get to see or do, so plan to come back to visit.  We leave for our cross country trip on Monday morning were our first stop is at the Grand Canyon.  As we find internet we will post more updates and pictures.  Stay tuned....
