Ryan was asked to participate in the World of Art Showcase at the Wynn in Las Vegas. We like to take one of our kids with us so we can get one on one time with them, this trip was Cloe's turn.
Checking into the hotel. I love how cheery all the lights, colorful tile and flowers are
Ryan setting up his booth.
Ryan did a portrait demo and had Cloe as his model
Ryans mom has not been able to make it to Ryan's art events because she is usually watching our kids so this time she drove down the other 3 kids to come support Ryan.
While he painted Cloe, I took the other four kids on the strip to see some of the hotel. tiring! I guess I just wanted to confirm to myself how non kid friendly Vegas is.
the Venetian
I think this is Treasure Island, they liked the motorcycle.
outside of the wax museum. Kids are free! (with a paying adult, admission $25!)
enjoying the fancy tub.
It was a lot colder in Vegas than I thought it would be but still warm enough to swim in a heated pool. Thank goodness they had a good pool because this is where we spent most of our time.
I wanted to show the kids the fountains at the Bellagio. So I ventured out with Ryan's mom and the kids. We drove all the way down to the opposite end of the strip because Subway was having a $2 sandwich promotion. When we got to the Subway (that I called in advance and was told "yes" about participating) they said "no, it ended yesterday" wtf! So we ate over priced Del Taco. I hate going places that have over priced fast food, so lame. We went in the M&M store and walked to the Bellagio. MUCH further than I thought it would be! The kids really got to experience the strip. I had to keep their eyes distracted from flyers and all the little side shows. And ended up explaining to them that this is also called Sin City and why. After the fountain show they all wanted to get back to the room and off the strip.
nice sunset from the parking garage.
our room
more swimming.
driving home. Utah sure is a beautiful state!
