Las Vegas Spring Break, March 12-16, 2022

The MGM pool has a lazy river, 2 pools, and 2 hot tubs.  They also have a nice bar to order Strawberry Daquiris, Pina Coladas, and nachos.

The girls bought cute swimsuits at Ron Jon Surf shop.

Just Lloyd and I went to Hakkasan nightclub is inside the MGM Grand.  They have neat light displays, beautiful dancers, and talented DJs.  We had the most fun people watching.  Dress Code is upscale fashionable attire. They do not permit: hats, sandals, sneakers, hard soled shoes and boots, ripped or baggy clothing and athletic wear.

The Bellagio 8.5-acre lake has 1,214 jets that rocket streams of water 460 feet into the air. The attraction was created by WET Design. The shows are so complex, there’s a staff of 30 working seven days a week, 365 days a year to clean, maintain and make emergency repairs on the fountains between shows.

House of Blues is an American chain of live music concert halls and restaurants. It was founded by Isaac Tigrett, the co-founder of Hard Rock Cafe, and Dan Aykroyd, co-star of the 1980 film The Blues Brothers.

My favorite part of Vegas was the nightclub and the pool.

Tournament of Kings is Las Vegas’ ultimate dinner and a show experience. Adapted from the tale of King Arthur, this live-action production takes place in a 900-seat theater-in-the-round arena and immerses the audience in a tale of valor and treachery. Valiant knights ride mighty steeds and prove their chivalry amongst special effects and pyrotechnics. While knights fight, guests feast on a hearty dinner using the original utensil – their hands. Tournament of Kings is an epic portrayal of centuries past, and it’s all in the name of honor, country, and of course, food.

Bodies…The Exhibition has been experienced by more than 15 million people worldwide. Using an innovative preservation process, the Exhibition showcases real full-bodies and organs, providing a detailed, three-dimensional vision of the human form rarely seen outside of an anatomy lab.

HERSHEY’S CHOCOLATE WORLD Las Vegas is a unique and delicious retail experience that offers more than 800 Hershey’s chocolates and candies in the famous New York, New York Hotel & Casino.

The Hunger games exhibition allows visitors to see the world of the movies, including galleries that display District 13, the Hall of Justice, President Snow’s Office, and the Tribute train. For those seeking to sharpen their Mockingjay skills, an archery training experience nestled inside an interactive digital training lab offers guests the opportunity to train like Katniss in a thrilling, immersive attraction.

We ate at Lucilles and met Maria’s roommates.  The girls then played some arcade games.   Lucilles is a chain of restaurants founded in California specializing in barbecue cuisine as well as southern and Cajun style meals. The restaurants feature a southern American and Blues theme.

Camilla’s friend was staying at the Cosmopolitan so we walked her down there to hang out with her friend for a couple hours.  The MGM is currently purchasing the Cosmopolitan.  It is pretty with a bar inside a chandelier.

Blue Man Group was a blast.  They did drumming on paint, smoke drums, and other artistic productions.

We all had a lot of fun in Vegas.  Connor thought the hotel was huge and beautiful.

Carly loved all the lights and entertainment.

Camilla liked the Excalibur show the best.

The Big Apple Rollercoaster in Las Vegas goes 67mph.  It features a 180-degree “heartline” twist and dive maneuver and 203ft drop.

This was a different kind of vacation for the kids.  Our vacations usually involve hiking and roughing it a bit.  This vacation was pure entertainment for the kids.
