Missed our flight

So here we are saying goodbye to Barry... we thot we were leaving Vegas... but we missed the cutoff time of the flight... by minutes! The girl at the counter asks us "why are you so late" we said "we aren't" but we thot the flight left 20 minutes later than we planned for, so we asked her "well what do we do?" and she says.... "nothing" LOL!! I guess it's easier to live in the States than we thot, you just have to miss a plane and you are stuck there forever??? anyway, we went to a different counter and she very nicely got us on a later flight, about 6 hours later, and got us a direct flight rather than the Vancouver stop over we originally had. (in spite of the extra money it cost, we found a silver lining... and we hit the Strip for more hours of fun!)

we had to check our bags so we went to New York New York, we knew they had storage cause you had to check your bags before you go on the coaster.

one bag wouldn't fit, but it had wheels.... so we trekked on.

we went for lunch and decided to do our part to help the casinos and we gambled.... at the penny slots... and spent 10 bucks! It lasted a loooong time tho' Dean and I traded off, but the best part was, Maddie could be right there, she was just on the other side of the wall in the restaurant part.

here is a better picture of the chocolate fountain

don't leave your child unattended!

we caught the statue show at Caesars

and went into the top of the Eiffel tower at the Paris.

from the tower. That beautiful Blue building ahead may be on the "imploding" block. Yep, that brand new building, it's not even open yet. It is the last building of the City Center group of hotels, but there was a problem in construction so they shortened the building from the original plan of 30 some odd floors, but it still isn't "safe" so it is closed and used as a billboard for the Elvis show right now, it will probably take 2 years in court to figure out what to do... but it sure is pretty!

every time we passed the fountains at Bellagio they were off, so finally Maddie got to see them, and it was quite the view from up top of Paris.

we got to check al lot of things off our list today, in our unexpected extra time! The last stop we got peanut butter covered apples from New York. It took about 30 minutes to eat!! and it was HEAVY! But soooo yummy!

on the plane we got seats as close as we could.... and homeward we went.

leaving Las Vegas, passing a golf course. Then home again, home again, jiggedy jig
