Our trip includes Niagara Falls, Mississippi, California, Nevada and Utah

We have been to Las Vegas several times this year and the pictures on this page are from our April trip to Las Vegas were we celebrated our birthdays and anniversary. We stayed at the Wynn hotel which is a sister to the Encore. Both hotels are very elegant and among the best in Las Vegas to stay at. This picture was taken from across the street in front of the Fashion Show Mall.

The picture below is a little fuzzy. I guess I could not hold the camera sufficiently still, however I think you get the idea of the fantastic view that we had from the 51st floor of the Wynn hotel.

This visit to Las Vegas was in the middle of April and we are celebrating our 36th anniversary and Carol's birthday. Valerie, who is a great friend of Carols, joined us in Vegas. We really had an excellent time. One of the hi-lights of this trip was dinner at a restaurant at the Wynn Casino and Hotel called Daniel Boulad. We sat in the bar waiting for our table(picture on the left) and then moved out to the terrace overlooking a scene that is reminiscent of a small mountain lake with a beautiful water fall. Carol is shown here with a bucket of mussels!

The service was excellent. Our reservation was for 8pm, however we could not get to our table until almost 9! No problem, the restaurant provided us with an extra round of drinks, an appetizer on the house and caviar on oysters to compensate! Wow!

Desert, although not large was also on the house and inscribed with chocolate on the plates, were "Happy Anniversary and Happy Birthday". Talk about service. I would recommend this restaurants as a must visit, if you have not had the opportunity.

All of the hotels go out of their way to entertain their patrons and the Wynn leads the pack in this regard. Every 30 minutes, there would be small show on the lake in front of us along with music. These pictures below really do not do justice to the scene and the atmosphere! The water becomes frothy, changes color and then various images are shown on the waterfall which acts like a giant screen.

The background music was , who else, but Garth Brooks. Amazing! What a setting to celebrate our anniversary and birthdays!

We are heading back to Palm Springs next to spend the rest of our vacation.
