Viva Las Vegas!

We went to Vegas on Boxing Day to celebrate Hayleys birthday. For some reason we thought it was going to be warm there and were a bit gutted to find its as cold as Vancouver in winter, bugger, but the sun shone for 3 days so it wasn't all bad.
Vegas is all about big is better and copying other people ideas. Paris Paris is a fine example of this... Here is the Eiffel Tower...

And here is the inside of one of the restaurants in Paris Paris! Its exactly how you imagine Paris to be - its hilarious! This is where we had a Vegas style buffet - they are massive!
This is one of the Christmas decorations in the Bellagio... It was pretty cool, all covered in tiny mirrors. I took this photo while I was waiting for Jesse to get off the phone - little did I know that he was on the phone to Dad asking his permission to propose!!

Treasure Island's Pirate Ship
Mirage again
Outside the Forum at Caesars... mmm Chanel, Dior, Versace... one day...
One of the fountains at Caesars.
More Caesars extremes
This is the walkway at The Venetian... Beautiful... Unfortunately we didn't get to see much of it or go for a gondola ride in there (yes seriously!) because we were running late cause of some last minute shopping (little did I know it was cause Jesse was buying diamonds...!)

The craziest thing about Vegas is that you go to some of these hotels and you could actually think you were in the place its named after.... Madness really but soo cool!
