Las Vegas

Last weekend I had to go to Vegas to take my eight hour national board exam.  After the dreaded test we decided to celebrate.  We wandered around the strip and hotels for hours that night.  I love the noise, the lights and all the crazy people you see wandering around.  I could seriously sit on a bench and just "people watch" all night long. 

The night before the test Will decided I needed to get out of the hotel and stop stressing.  So we went to the M&M and Coke factory.  I never knew that there would be a need for so much Coke and M&M products.  It was a nice little break to take my mind of the test.    

After the test we walked the strip visiting the MGM and the new hotel the Aria.



The last stop of the night was Fremont street.  We have been there in the day but never have been able to make it at night for the light show.  It is such a different atmosphere compared to the new strip.  There are vendors all throughout the street.  There is a guy there that makes these amazing paintings out of spray paint.  It is so interesting to watch him create such detailed pictures.  There was also a lady who would sculpt your face out of a block of clay.  Again, it was interesting how she would make all the details with very little tools.

Think people would want one of their teeth carved out of a block of wax? We could totally do that for extra cash on the weekends.

Cam, I love it. They would have to wait forever to get it though (like two weeks, I was pretty slow at that)
