Photo Friday: Paris Hotel in Las Vegas
When we visited Las Vegas and stayed at the Paris Hotel, we had actually been to Paris, France just a few months prior to that. So the Paris Hotel was very surprising in how accurately it portrayed parts of Paris. Tom got this shot of the Eiffel Tower at the hotel. Pin It

Photo Friday: Snake in Las Vegas
After visiting Las Vegas for the first time, we decided that you could see pretty much anything in that city. Including a guy with a very big snake. Pin It

The Quite Amazing Viva Elvis by Cirque du Soleil Show
We both leaned forward instinctively, horrified to think the performers in bright super hero costumes were falling to the stage, certain to be hurt, maybe even killed. Then they bounced into the air and landed agilely right back where they has started, only to do it again and again, landing back on the platform and … Continue reading
The Engineering Marvel That is the Hoover Dam:Part Two
You know how some people are just incompetent at putting things together? That they can look at any of a number of tools and have absolutely no idea what they are or how to use them? That they might just possibly put together a high chair for their grandchild, feel totally smug, and then look … Continue reading
La cuisine est délicieuse à La Crêperie
I seriously hope you are impressed by the fact that the title of this post is in French, even though I might possibly have had to use Babylon to get the translation. OK. I did. However, I still do retain a modicum of the French I took in high school and college; enough that someone … Continue reading
The Grand Canyon Skywalk
Read the first post about our Grand Canyon adventure HERE and the second one HERE, both with Papillon Grand Canyon Helicopters. Still reeling from the incredible experience of seeing the Grand Canyon from the air in a helicopter and from the Colorado River in a raft, we speedily hopped up to the top of the … Continue reading

I don’t know if it was the incredible view, the impeccable service or the melt-in-your-mouth delicious food that made me think The Capital Grille was going to be our best restaurant experience in all of Las Vegas. But whichever one it was, I was correct. Perched on the third floor of the Fashion Show Mall … Continue reading
Rafting the Colorado River
Read the first post about our Grand Canyon adventure HERE. I’m just going to have to be honest here and tell you that the vision conjured up by the title of this post – white water! dangerous rapids! I totally almost drowned when I was thrown from the raft! – should be tempered with … Continue reading
Flying a Chopper Over the Grand Canyon
Seriously, you can’t imagine how cool I felt typing “chopper” above. As if I actually had anything to do with piloting the chopper, other than attempting to climb into the pilot’s lap when he veered a little too close to the canyon’s walls. Absolutely, without a doubt, the coolest thing we did the entire time … Continue reading
A Travel Writer’s Quandary
I forked up another bite of my barely warm dinner and finally came to the conclusion that it was inedible. Everyone in our group agreed. The service was shoddy, they were out of half the offerings on the menu and the food was just plain terrible. This was not a restaurant to which we would … Continue reading
