n salt water aquarium in the lobby that was really neat to see and we went for a leisure stroll around their gardens and pool area.
The Luxor (egyptian theme) was seriously disappointing. We had read online that they had a King Tut's tomb exhibit as well as a big arcade to check out but when we got there they told us those things are no longer there. Oh well, we had a quick lunch at Mcdonald's and moved along.
At around 6:30 tonight we started walking back and actually made it to the hotel!! Thought my body was going to fall apart but I managed to put my bathing suit on, jump in the pool, and back to my room. I've got my sweats on and we're gong to watch some TV before crashing into bed. Tomorrow the plan is to hang around the pool and relax until late afternoon then get spiffyed up and head to the strip. We saw some beautiful lights tonight on our way back and we want to experience more of that without the aching feet! LOL
Have a great week everyone :-)

Vegas - Sunday
My body aches!!! We walked today... and walked, and walked, and walked. I should've turned on the pedometer application on my phone to see how far we actually went - maybe I'll do that next time.
After sleeping in this morning, we walked up to the monorail station and rode the whole line stopping at the south end of the strip. Saw some really amazing things today like the New York New York hotel. In spite of it's general theme being fun and partying (including a big roller coaster) they have a really nice tribute to the victims of 9/11 in front of their statue of Liberty. I'll try to get the photo / video uploaded tonight. I was really touched by it... maybe because I am a guest in this country that was hit so hard by such a tragedy.
We spent alot of time in the Mandalay Bay hotel. They have a 12,000 gallo
