Viva "Lost" Vegas

Yes, Riley calls it "Lost" Vegas and I don't want to correct her. The kids have been asking to go back to Las Vegas since we went 3 years ago for my brother's wedding. So we finally took them back and had a great time. Riley was VERY disappointed that she is still too short for the roller coaster at New York, New York. Maybe next time she will make the cut.
I think the highlight for all of us was the baby tigers at the Mirage. If you look closely past Riley's reflection there is actually a tiger cub in on the other side of the glass pawing at Riley. They interacted for a few minutes and it was priceless. The cubs acted just like kittens, playing with stuffed toys and pawing at Riley on the other side of the glass. I could have watched them for hours.
We had three days of swimming, floating in the lazy river and walking, walking and more walking around the strip. The kids had a blast in the arcade at the MGM and got to see the lion there also. I got a pastry at the Paris, yum yum and we all loved the forum shops at Caesar's Palace. At the end of it all you can see the kids were worn out, but sad to be leaving. Scott and I would like to go back and enjoy the more adult side of Vegas, shows, drinks and ritzy restaurants for dinner.
