We stayed at the MGM Grand for four nights, flew from Rock Springs to Salt Lake and then from Salt Lake to Vegas. On the way back we went through Denver, but it was nice to not have to drive far to get to an airport --FYI-- the planes coming in and out of Rock Springs are puddle jumpers and pretty tiny!
The first night we ate at Emeril's Famous Fish House which is inside the MGM, kind of ironic when just around the corner is McDonalds, but it was really good food and so fun. The next day we bought tickets on the Monorail and went down to the stratosphere where somehow I got talked into going on a ride called "the big shot", well the picture of me in the slide show will tell you exactly what I thought of that. We went to see Cirque Du Soleil's "O" at the Bellagio, and it was wonderful, but almost as wonderful was the fountains/light show outside the Bellagio set to Frank Senatra music. I really loved that. We also went to a dinner show called "Tournament of Kings" at the Ex Calibur where they do jousting and horse sword fighting stuff -- Kyle would have been in heaven. We layed by the pool and sat in the hot tub, relaxed and saw things that we've never seen before in our sheltered little lives! It was definitely a weekend to remember. Enjoy the pics -- especially the ride on the stratosphere - it's good for a laugh at my expense!
