Viva Las Vegas

A few weeks ago, I told Shawn that I needed a day off work and wanted to do something fun, so we decided to go to Vegas for a weekend. We left Thursday night and went to St. George to see Shawn's sister Lori and her family. On Friday we drove to Vegas.

We went on Friday night to a show at the Stratosphere called "American Superstars." They had 5 impersonators: Elvis, Carrie Underwood, Brittney Spears, Tim McGraw and Michael Jackson. It was way fun!

Shawn with his favorite Vegas Showgirls. Look how red his face is.

 

Shawn with Carrie Underwood look-alike. (although I don't think she looked that much like her)

 We stayed at the Golden Nugget and they have a swimming pool called "The Tank." In the middle of the pool, they had an aquarium with sharks swimming around. They had a three-story slide that came down and went through the aquarium. As you were going down the slide, you could see the sharks swimming around you. It was pretty awesome. 

 

 

See the slide that goes through there?

 

On Saturday we went to the BYU vs. UNLV game and I don't want to talk about it. We got spanked!

After the game we went to the King's Ransom Museum. There was tons of Elvis' belongings that he had for several years before his death.

 

Elvis' 1968 Lincoln Continental. It was the last car he bought before he died.

  

This was Elvis' famous red velvet bedspread that his girlfriend had made for his bedroom at Graceland.
