Day 4- July 24, 2012-Tuesday

First full day in Las Vegas!!!! So what to do? What to do? We set off on foot from our room in Caesar’s Palace and headed south on the strip. We stopped for a McDonald’s breakfast and by the time we finished , it was already a toasty 98 degrees. We window shopped and perused some touristy gift shops. One cool shop we stopped at was the Coca-Cola Store. 2 full floors of cola-fabulousness. (Diet Coke too!) Trenton, Austen and I all got cute tee shirts. Next we came across the Hard Rock Café-Las Vegas, here too; lots of cuteness. Taylor gets a shirt here from here!
The New York New York Hotel/Casino was next on the strip. Michael dared to put in $2 and actually won $8. Woot! Woot! We’re making money in this town. LOL! Further down the strip, we stopped at the Luxor(the black pyramid) While Devin and I rested our feet, Michael and Trenton went off exploring and in a few minutes, they were peeking down at us from 15 floors up. Devin grabbed a snack, then we all proceeded to begin the trek back to Caesar’s.

Dinner tonight consisted of another adventure: The boys’ first taxi ride. We wanted to go clear to the other end of the strip to see the Stratosphere. When we got there we decided to go and eat dinner at the restaurant that turns slowly and gives you a great panoramic view of Las Vegas. I think we hit it at an especially good time because when we started eating the sun was shining brightly and we could pick out all the landmarks easily and then as we finished our meal dusk was falling and the city gradually lit up. Spectacular!
