This was taken this past January when I was visiting Vegas with a few friends.

It’s funny how before I went I thought I wasn’t going to enjoy it so much, but now I kinda wish I could go back and take Paul with me even though I don’t think he would care for it.  I just loved walking around there at night looking at all the lights.  Watching the fountain go off at The Bellagio and going up in the Eiffel tower to see all the lights from up there.

This is a new Meme that I just found and thought I would join.

This Way Thurs Way is a weekly meme (on Thursdays) of roads & its signs, signage, paths, passages, street scenes & the likes.

 These pictures are of the new bridge that they are making to bypass the Hoover Dam.

I still can’t believe while we were in Vegas we went to one of the hot clubs where you have 2 forever long lines.  (Thankfully for them they are located in malls and not outside in the cooler (or hot in the summer) weather.   If it wasn’t to our friend having connections we would never of gone just because of the lines. 

From a 35 year olds standpoint this is how I felt at it.  I felt a little out of place when I was there.  First off I’m overweight and honestly I don’t remember seeing anyone else that way.  It seemed like it was full of young 20 year olds with short, strapless dresses.   Secondly I was the youngest in our group and while we all felt a little old there, some ended up pointing out that they were old enough to be a lot of those youngin’s mom’s!   (It made us feel like reading some wrinkle cream reviews after that)

Finally, if you ever want to go to a club in Vegas and you can spend the $$$$ for the cover & drinks, then make sure you go when your feet aren’t hurting.   Since we had done a lot of walking that day a lot of our feet weren’t to pleased with us.  We just kept thinking at least once we are inside we can find a place to sit, but there isn’t.  Yes there were a lot of open booths, but every table there is reserved so you can’t just find a seat and sit like you can when to you to the bar.

So what did I learn?  I am much more comfortable going to a bar versus a club any day!  Bring me that bar that plays the country or 80′s music any day!
