Las Vegas part 3 * * * Paris ooh la la

Oh you sexy thing!

I'd like to start by saying what an enormous dork I am. I really thought that I'd read on Blackbird that she was changing show and tell to Monday. I was so sure that I went over her site over and over to find it. Just to prove to myself and blog world that I was not insane. I didn't find it. Drat! Ok so I posted show and tell a day early. Hmmm. I am not insane, just freakishly prompt. Find the positive Prissy, find the positive.

As we were preparing to leave Vegas I really wanted to see Paris. OMG sisters! It's the chick bomb for sure. The shops were awesome and the little cafe's were so quaint. I loved it. We really did not have time to stay so we didn't get to eat at the cafe's but next time. Watch out!

This is one of the legs of the Eiffel Tower. You can see the slots underneath. We are standing on a little bridge that takes you up to the tower elevators.







Another leg.












The indoor street lights. Such atmosphere! It really felt like you were on the streets of Paris. Not that I'd know for sure but I have a decent imagination.











This is in the elevator on the way up to the top of the Eiffel Tower. We were told that this tower is exactly 1/2 scale of the original in Paris.










Once at the top there is an observation deck that is completly enclosed, top to bottom. Unless you are 6" tall there is no way you are gonna fall out or even squeeze out. Although I think David Blane could probebly do it. There are little camera holes so that you can take pictures without the bars.








Like this.

While I was in Vegas I noticed that there are no balconies. None. BH said that was to cut down on the number of depressed gamblers or whatever from taking a dive over the edge. Yuk!











Caesers













I don't know what these are.

















Some construction. Lots and lots of construction. I don't know how they do it. There is barely an inch of ground that doesn't have something on it.







I really loved Vegas in my way. I'd like to go back and spend more time in Paris. My folks said that Caesars has a nice touristy area where the statues talk to each other. I'd like to see that. We didn't gamble, not one penny! BH and I are not huge gamblers so we chose to see a show instead.

We saw the Blue Man Group.



I really enjoyed the show. I'd only really saw them on comercials and didn't know anything about them. Fabulous show. Must see. A little spendy but go and have fun. You can really get involved in the show.

Las Vegas part 2 * * * THE ROOM OMG!

Of Course while we were there our favorite pug had to get his picture taken.

This is just a portion of our room. The room was absolutely palatial. 750 sf of room, 150 sf of that was the bathroom. I'm telling you it was bigger than my apartment!

This is a pic of the lower level from the bedroom.

In the lower level we have these delightful not to mention comfy chairs.
















A beautiful sofa.












An office area complete with fax and internet hookup.















Le kitchenette















Downstairs TV and fridge packed full of very expensive common items.














TV/Fridge console closed











For some reason I could not get a decent pic of the bedroom area but it is equally gorgeous. Two queen beds, a nightstand and that little padded catch all thing at the end of the bed. You can sit on it and put on your shoes or stacked your stuff. Also another TV up there. And a tiny but adequate closet.

The Bathroom! OMG the bathroom. 150 sf of heaven! Marble everything.

This is the see-through shower. I find this a little strange. I know it sounds silly but I don't want anyone (sorry BH) watching me wash. You know. Wash stuff. It is impossible to look sexy when you are trying to get clean. Maybe I just need a little more imagination.

















The tub. Ooh la la. I really wanted to fill that thing up with bubbles and soak. We were quite busy so I didn't get to.















Double sink. We'd messed it up a bit before I could get a pic. Yep thats me in one of the bathrobes. The bathrobes by the way were not all that comfy but heck, they were there, I used them.
















This was most delicious. A vanity. Yes I sat there every morning and put my make up on. And also in the evening to you know, touch up. The little round mirror is a light up magnifying mirror. Yeah Baby! I wanted to take it home. Much restraint was needed to leave it there.

Las Vegas part 1

I did take a lot of pictures of our trip to Vegas. Some pics just didn't turn out at all and then I completly forgot to take some cool ones.

First off we stayed at the Venitian. Awesome! I'll tell you about the room later. Before we even got to the hotel we couldn't even find the place so we drove around some. The last time I was there I was a little girl, '67-'68 or so. It was a tiny little 2 lane strip in the middle of the desert with absolutly nothin all around. I was blown away. I am quite sure that anything I saw back then does not even exist today. BH's oldest son lived there a few years back so he has seen most of it before.

I am so backlogged at work and our sweet Pollin is on total bed rest until they take the baby June 6 or maybe before if she keeps having problems.

So a little less chat and more pics.
















This is the sky in the Grand Canal area. This is not a real sky. It is all indoors and this is painted or silk screened or whatever it is they have done.

These are the shops and such along the canal.











































































These are pictures of the gondolas in the canal. For some reason I just could not get a good pic with or without the flash.



No we did not ride the gondolas. BH said he just didn't not want them singing to him. Not macho I think and since he is not Italian I'll let it go.

Elvis Pug is off to Las Vegas! Woohoo!

Here he is folks, Elvis Pug.


I am off to Las Vegas. Heading out here in just a few minutes. I thought I'd put you all in the mood for some hunka hunka burning pug love.
