Vegas Vacation







The first night in Vegas we saw the Legends show (fantastic!!!) and the legends we we able to see were Jerry Lee Lewis (wow!), Bette Midler (flirted with Steve her whole set); Tina Turner and Elvis. They we all wonderful. Micheal jackson was also on the billet but he must have been sick. We sat front row center.
Saturday, we were taken to the Las Vegas Temple (by Elder Pehrson's parents). That temple has the most beautiful Celestial room! Then, that night we saw Donnie and Marie (our vacation highlight!). Their show was phenonmenal. We wished we had tickets to go see them again. Maybe next trip. We stayed at the Flamingo Hotel and who knew that they had real flamingos? Looking back on it , it makes sense that they would but who knew?
On Sunday we went to church with the Pehrson's and were able to see Elder Ben Lacusta hard at work - small world. Then we watched the dancing fountains at the Bellagio hotel.
On Monday, We went to the Wax Museum (see me with Johnny Depp) and the antique car show at the Imperial Palace. We had to be back to the hotel to watch Donny compete on Dancing with the Stars.
On Tuesday, before we left we ate at Planet Hollywood and we were seated under Peter Seller's trench coat from the Pink Panther movies. The flight was a good flight home and if it weren't for my flamingo socks and blown glass flamingo souviener I wouldn't believe that I had been there. It was a nice get-away.
