by OK well we’ve hit Hell’s Wall – holy mother of God it’s hot – reminds me of living in the Okanagan well maybe a few degrees hotter but not many!! Chloe not liking this heat so much – she’s more of a winter lover – FREAK!! 
So this is Chloe’s new best friend…we call her Spray Fan! We bought it when we were at SeaWorld the last day – you fill the bottom with water and the little fan mists you with it…I’m sure she’ll fill it today and carry it for the remainder of the trip. Actually if you look around they will spray you in & around Vegas. I pointed out to Chloe the taxi stand line up – above the people were mists of water – and then while we were at Fashion Mall the restaurant we walked by had trees over top of the tables and in the trees…yup you guessed it – mists of water!
OK but aside from being hot I love Vegas – there is so much to do….besides walking!! Yes if you’ve never been here I’d say it’s like walking a marathon everyday! This is my 5th visit to Vegas and I’m getting smart – have already mapped out the nearest monorail stop and whether the hop on/hop off bus is a good deal. There really is so much to do that you just have to accept you won’t get to do it all. On our agenda is the Outlet Mall (surprised – I think not), Pink Jeep Tour (out to an abandoned mining town http://pinkjeeptours.com/las-vegas/tour/eldorado-canyon/), Mystere (http://www.treasureisland.com/shows/mystere_by_cirque_du_soleil.aspx), Criss Angel show (Chloe is reading his book right now and said it’s quite interesting – it’s quite interesting to me too that she’s actually reading a book – my nonbook loving daughter). So those are our big stop – which I’ve purchased already on-line – in between that we will just wander around and stop where we feel like. Chloe wants to see the Titanic exhibit and of course we can’t come to Vegas without a stop at M & M World (http://www.vegas.com/attractions/on_the_strip/mandmworld.html).
We might have a few hours at the pool or maybe I’ll have a few hours at the pool while Chloe watches me from our room on the 34th floor. We have a pretty spectacular view – which Chloe was in awe of last night and all we could see was red tail lights going down the Strip – she couldn’t believe so many people were out & about that late at night. Too bad she’s sleeping as it’s always really quiet first thing in the morning…
As I was drifting off to sleep I had one of THOSE thoughts…you know where you think something and immediately wish you could erase it from your memory? What if there is a fire….O.M.G.(that stands for Oh My God, Mom just in case you don’t know that one). Why would I even think that – probably because we’re so far up jumping would be impossible!! Kinda like when you’re sitting in an airplane and the guy comes in wearing a trench coat…..ok that’s enough racial profiling for one day!! We’re off to the Mall – CHARGE IT (little Wilma Flintstone impersonation there for all you Flintstones fans).
Ciao, Shannon
PS – this was supper last night – another of my favorite stops in Vegas
