We went to the Star Trek Experience at the Las Vegas Hilton. At first, I thought this was going to be a lame deal! We got the tickets... then walked around to see all theOur trip started out kind of cruddy, (flight cancelled) but the rest was very good! We got into Vegas around 6ish, and waited in line for our rental car for about 30 minutes. After hearing our tale of woe, the clerk double upgraded us to a 4x4 Blazer at only 8 dollars extra, TOTAL! When we got to the Stratosphere we were upgraded to a small suite!Sometimes, trouble brings blessings.
So much to see and do...! Here's some pics from the trip.
"museum" type stuff. Timelines of the characters, some costumes from
the show. Artifacts from real space travel, etc... By the time
we'd finished that little walk, I was VERY disappointed! Then, we
stood in line and they had us line up... and then it REALLY began!
WOOHOO! It was definitely worth it! I'm not supposed
to tell what happens, because it will change history (really!) hehehe..
so you'll just have to go yourself!
Since
we were on a roll, we continued on with the Venetian. We met some
friends! I hung out with some of my The Venetian had huge pools in the back and lush gardens
We also went to Paris!
Heheh... it's the newest casino in Vegas... I bought a new travel bag from
them... here's the little stub from the bag.. and a pic I took. I
just about laid on the ground to take this pic! Also, a pic
of Pat and I in front of the fountain
,
and a picture of the Arch
.
It was so beautiful inside. The ride up the Eiffel Tower was great...
not much room on the observation deck. It's a half scale model, so
it was kind of dinky up there.
We then went to the Bellagio for the Art Gallery. How AWESOME!
Beautiful paintings by some of my favorite artists. *happy sigh*
Here is one of my favorites 
(different from the others, which is why it's one of my favorites) and
one of Pat's 
.
It was stunning to view the paintings so close and vivid. We'd gone
to the exhibit in Seattle for the Impressionists, which was terrific, so
this was an added bonus. Many paintings by van Gogh I'd not seen
before.
favorites 
and got pics. Pat had a few 
of his own groupies 
that wanted to chat with him. Did I mention that the Venetian houses Madame Tussaud's Celebrity Encounter? *grin*
Here
are some pictures of us at the various places. The Bellagio had this
GORGEOUS 
atrium with all these flowers in bloom! The ceiling inside was covered
in glass artwork that I tried to get a picture of, but couldn't.
Trust me, it was awesome.
surrounding it and inside the whole place resembled 
Venice
with the open
courtyards and canals. There were operetta and mini concerts going
on all around. It was such a beautiful time. I loved every minute of it. Going back in June! Yay!
