Vegas Trip - Day 1 (The Strip)

I walked past this sign at the Austin Airport and was intrigued...
...Apparently they have indoor restrooms for dogs now!
This was literally the first thing I saw when I got out the gate at Las Vegas Airport.
Our flights got in around midnight, so Nori and I spent our first night at the Luxor Resort and Casino. Here are some pics of our pyramid guest room:


We couldn't sleep in, so we walked to Jamba Juice at Miracle Mile Shops and to Eggslut at the Cosmopolitan for breakfast. (We split a fruit smoothie and a bacon egg & cheese sandwich.)


We met up with the sisters around 11 and practiced our selfie skills.


We spent the rest of the day exploring the Strip:
We got excited when we saw Paw Patrol. We thought, "We'll take a picture for the kids!" Turns out, you're supposed to tip, so this picture cost us $5. 

Scorpion at Nacho Daddy
It depends who you ask, but according to my phone I walked over 11 miles that day. (Nori's numbers were higher.)

Chocolate Statue of Liberty (they also had one made out of licorice)

Trying to capture the Eiffel Tower in the background. We made several attempts, but the lighting was never quite right. It became a joke. I think we ended up with something like 8 Eiffel Tower pics in the end.
  
 


3D Experience at M&M World
At the Coca Cola Store. Nor loves here Mexican Coke!

The Bellagio was my favorite: 

Frank Sinatra's "Luck Be a Lady"
We couldn't walk through the Bellagio gardens because they were setting up for Chinese New Year, but Al snapped some good pictures anyway:

We saw the short Atlantis Show at the Shops at Caesar's Palace, and took a gambling pic. (We didn't actually gamble.) An employee actually came up to us and asked if we were all 21. (???)

We made Rachel and Kristi suffer through the Mirage rainforest and volcano before we caught the monorail back to Al's car at MGM resort.
That night we had Italian food at Cugino's, but we didn't take any pictures. Too tired, I guess.
