Yesterday John and I started off the day by hiking around
Zion. We woke up early so that we would
be able to get a decent amount of hike time in before heading off to Las
Vegas. We hiked the Riverside Walk and
the Weeping Rock Trail, which were both awesome. Unfortunately, the day wasn’t as sunny and
beautiful as our first day in Zion, but we were just happy that it wasn’t raining
even though it was overcast! 
At about 2pm, we headed out on the drive to Las Vegas. It was only a two and a half hour drive and
we gained an hour from the time zone change, so we arrived in Las Vegas by
early afternoon. We quickly checked into
our hotel, The Excalibur, and then began exploring the strip. John and I walked for hours – in and out of
lobbies, into stores, and through casinos.
We had a lot of fun just walking around checking things out! 
We got dinner at California Pizza Kitchen, and both ordered
pasta since we haven’t been having any pasta and we were both really craving
it! Unfortunately, after dinner it was
super windy and kind of cold, so a lot of the shows on the strip that you can
watch from the street were cancelled due to the high dangerous winds. I also got a lot of sand blown in my eyes
throughout the night, (haha). The
Bellagio’s fountain show was still going on as scheduled though, and we stopped
to watch the beautiful fountains choreographed to music (check out the short
video below). 
John and I finished off the night by playing some Blackjack
at The Luxor. We were able to last at
the table for about two and a half hours, but then hit an unlucky streak and
lost what we were playing with. That’s
ok though, because we had a ton of fun playing and maybe we’ll be able to make
up what we lost later on in the week!
Today John and I were planning on having a relaxing pool
day, but for some reason it’s cold here in Vegas! 63 degrees and partly cloudy - so
disappointing!! But we’re still spending
the day relaxing until we go to the Blue Man Group tonight!!! We’re so excited! I’ll let you all know tomorrow how the show
was!
