AND NOW....LAS VEGAS PICTURES


Here are some pictures taken from Las Vegas - a last trip before Emily starts school, before my dad has his stomach surgery, and before my dad celebrates his 78th birthday on September 8th!

Highlights:
1) Lion King
2) Good buffet, prime ribs, diners for breakfast, food, food, food!
3) tidal pool and lazy river

MadGreek Diner on the way to Vegas. Had great Greek food for lunch

Mandalay Bay - view from our room. This hotel is okay especially the pool.
But personally I like Wynn and Venetian MUCH BETTER!
