Standing underneath the glass roof - lion eating a bone above us!Today daddy headed out for a game of golf with Uncle William, and the kids and I headed down to the Las Vegas Strip for a little fun!
Driving to the strip was already exciting enough for Alyssa! Of course she loved seeing the "castle hotel" (The Excalibur Hotel), the pyramid hotel (The Luxor), and the hotel with the roller coaster outside (The New York New York). Her favorite was watching the roller coaster go around the hotel. She promptly said, "when I get bigger can I go on that roller coaster?" I said, "sure." She said "that's so cool mom!" She then proceeded to hold her hands up and scream every time the roller coaster went down a drop. We passed a few more attractions, the golden lion outside the MGM Grand and the monorail which went from one end of the strip to another before we parked at the MGM Grand Hotel.
Grandma and Papa were staying a few nights at the MGM so we decided to take advantage of someone staying on the strip. After we checked out the hotel room, we packed up the stroller and walked to the Excalibur Hotel. They have a huge carnival game floor perfect for the kids. Alyssa played a few games, won a few stuffed animals and Jaden relaxed in his stroller. We also made our way to the lion habitat in the MGM. There were 2 lions today, one female and one male with a huge mane! Alyssa enjoyed seeing the lions but was a little scared to be up close. They are housed in a glass habitat and she didn't quite understand that the lions couldn't come through the glass!
After all that walking, we ended our day at Hagen Daaz for a huge sundae! Then, off to home for dinner and early bed!
