THE PAGNOZZI FAMILY: LAS VEGAS

We had such a great trip to Vegas last year that we decided to go back. This time our great friends the Greens joined us and Ricky's friends the Arnolds also made it. We decided to stay at the Linq. After many hours of researching I thought it was the best choice. It was newly renovated and the location was perfect. It was center to ALL the stuff we wanted to do and great entertainment. It was also very affordable. Everyone arrived at different times. We got there Thursday 9pm ish. Before we could head to the Airport we dropped the kids off with Lynn and Gary. Thanks to her or this would not be possible. She loved having them and they had such a great time. She definitely kept them busy. We flew out of Austin since the Airport was about 20 min away from Lynn.
We got there around 9pm and jumped right into the action. Ricky gambled at his favorite dumpy casino and we watched the Piano bar at Harrahs. We didn't get to bed till about 4am.
Friday we walked the strip a little, had lunch and did a pub crawl with turnt up tours. It was a fun night of bar hopping. I have to say the music was very hard to dance too. It was not stuff I heard before and very techno. The bars get super crowded. I think everyone enjoyed themselves. It's definitely and experience.
Saturday Ricky and I saw Rock of Ages. It is my favorite show I have seen in Vegas. The music and story line was great. The energy was high. We had some people behind us that would not stop talking. Ricky told an attendant and we were moved to 3rd row!!! After the show we met up with the Greens and rode the high roller. it's a big, slow moving ferris wheel. We bought the all you can drink package. The bar tender was great, even though there were about 18 of us in the cart, everyone got plenty of drinks.The view from the top was incredible. You saw Vegas all lit up. It was about a 30 min ride. A great way to start the night!! After we gambled, piano bar and went to my favorite outside bar and just danced. So much fun!!!! Sunday we explored the outside pool. It had a very fun atmosphere with a DJ. After we ate at Paris buffet. It was so good!! At night we saw Myster a Cirque show. The talent is incredible. The rest of the night was pretty relaxed since we were headed home on Monday.
