You win some you lose some... Vegas doesn't have to be all about the Gambling, there are certainly a lot of other fun stuff to do in Vegas. We met up with our Friends Bill & Annette from thier youtube channel MrCoaster1 and we found some fun stuff to do.
Yep we got caught at the MOB Museum and they booked us Dan-o
Monday:
We Went to the Mob Museum that was Fun, entertaining and educational. It was some of the Vegas history but also just the history of the MOB in general. Very fascinating information. By the way we did get into a bit of trouble at the Museum, as you can see... From there we had lunch at Pieology, which Annette and Bill Had not tried. We figured since they like Blaze pizza and Mod Pizza we thought they would enjoy one of the west coast versions. To be honest I prefer Pizza Press.
Then we headed on over to the atom museum... It was a nice nod to the Atomic bomb testing that happened in the deserts of Nevada and to the Atomic Age. After that was done we decided that at 2pm we had time to drive out to red-rock canyon. I have never been out there and that was a breathe of fresh air. It was Gorgeous. it was a cold crisp day a stunning 64 degrees. If you have the time and you want to get some good clean air away from the stale air that is circulated through the casinos, I highly suggest this wonderful place to clear your head and lungs.
Later on that Evening we parted ways with Bill & Annette and we headed over to have dinner with my Friend Tennille and her wonderful family at Shake Shack. From there I was able to take family photos. After that was all said and done we headed back to Tennille's house, where her and I worked on our shadow boxes from my birthday weekend.
Tuesday:
the Bodies exhibit at the LUXOR
Matthew and I had THE BUFFET for breakfast at the Excalibur. It was ok food. Lots of options to choose from. We then met up with Bill and Annette, they had breakfast at Johnny Rockets, and we made our plans for the day. We walked over to the BODY exhibit which is located at the LUXOR. If you want to be a Doctor or get into medicine field or any field that deals with the human body this is the exhibit you would enjoy immensely. We went back to the EXCALIBUR and Annette and Bill went to rest while Matthew and I Gambled a bit. To be honest I should have gone to our room to rest a bit as well.
Gorgeous sunset at the Las Vegas Speedway
After our rest we headed out with the Gang, and went to Escapology. Our theme of our room was the CUBAN MISSILE CRISIS. We were 10 mins away from being thrown into a CUBAN prison...After we narrowly escaped a CUBAN PRISON, we headed out to the LAS VEGAS SPEEDWAY for the GLITTERING LIGHTS OF LAS VEGAS. Which the speedway is right next to Nellis airforce base. We arrived a bit earlier than that of opening... So, what did we do we went back to fill up the tank and then as we were getting closer to the front gate to wait for 5:30 to hit, we got distracted by the amazing sunset I have seen in a long time and the amazing show the fighter jets were putting on.
check out the Glittering Lights of Las Vegas Speedway...
It was such a nice night and then 530 hit and we were ready for the Glittering Lights of Las Vegas Speedway. It was so much fun. to be able to drive through the speedway and all those Christmas lights it was pretty magical. I felt like a kid again, all the wonder and excitement. If you ever get a chance to go I say do so. it is $20 a car load, pack up the family, pack some treats and spend the 20+ mins driving through the wintery, wonderland of dancing lights. I would have loved to go a second time or even to walk it instead of driving it.
After the Lights we decided we were a bit hungry so we went to Tacos El Gordo. OMG... they were YUMMY. We got the street tacos with Carne Asada... Check out the full video below... I also included the links in the buttons below of some of the places we went to...
