Las Vegas

We arrived at Nellis AFB in Las Vegas on Sunday. That day we did some shopping at the commissary and BX and borrowed a couple of DVD's from the base library since we don't have any TV. On Monday we went into the 'Strip' and took in a show at the Imperial Palace. The show was 'Legends in Concert'. It was a great show where some well known singers are impersonated. Included in the impersonations were the Blues Brothers, Whitney Houston, Prince, Celine Dion and of course, Elvis.

On Tuesday we went into the strip again and saw the Bellagio and the statues at Cesear's Palace Forum shops. We then went to the Hilton where we saw the musical 'Menopause'. This was a really entertaining show. The music was all parodies of some fun music from when us baby boomers were growing up - like Heat Wave, I got you babe, Puff the magic dragon, I heard it through the grapevine. Of course all of the words were changed and had to do with a women's change of life. We had seats very close and one of the actresses came into the audience and sat on Bob's lap. He was having his own heat wave. At the end of the performance the women were invited to get up on stage and dance - which Connie did! Also, as part of the show we were each given a ticket to participate in a slot tournament. So, after the show we did that and Bob won $50.

On Wednesday we went to Red Rock Canyon which is about 20 miles west of Las Vegas. We stopped at the visitor center and then did the 13 mile scenic loop drive. While on the loop we took a couple of hour hike.

Today, Thursday, we're again headed to the strip. And tomorrow we head to Utah to meet up with some friends from Tacoma, Washington.
