My husband and I were just talking about places we would like to go on vacation (either together or as a family). Vegas was pretty much not a priority because I didn’t think there was much to it. Clearly I was wrong. Thanks for sharing. I love to include free or low cost things into vacation plans.

I enjoy hanging out at the Bellagio. So many pretty things there. I stayed at Paris and my room overlooked the fountains. I sat for what seemed like forever watching. Then I went across the street and sat on a bench watching it all over again. The ceiling is just too cool too.
