Treasure Island, aka tiA night on the strip.We watched the ship go down and the pirates sing.Good entertainment.And afterwards, a guy was selling bottled water for only $1!Amazing priced for Vegas...

On the way to Harrah'sAfter our long

night of what seemed like endless walking, we finally made it to Harrah's and to the monorail.:)

Morning lights!Beautiful fountain. What's not so beautiful is seeing homeless people on benches...Guess that's what you get when you go to a big city?

Checking out NY, NYNew York, New York!Making our way down the strip and seeing all of the neon lights as we go by.

ArtworkFremont St. in Las Vegas:A guy was using spray paint to make amazing paintings!See left.What was even more amazing was the fact that each one only took about 10-15 minutes!

Free shows in Circus Circus.It was astounding to me how strong these people are!What's even more cool is to see how effortlessly they move.

Excalibur

We got to watch the Tournament of Kings!Later, after the show I got a picture with a princess. Sage and I took a photo toghether before the show, and Ashley and Sage took a photo with a King.:D
