What Happened in Vegas (Long)

Who said you can't enjoy Vegas without gambling? We had a wonderful time even though Nikki & Greg didn't go anywhere near the slot machines or a blackjack table!

When we got to Las Vegas last Friday, it was threatening to rain. We took a cab to our hotel and checked into our room. Wow nice! There was a jacuzzi in the room! Humans would love that! After unpacking and relaxing, Nikki and I decided to explore the hotel. We had to find a good place for my business too! So we ventured out to the courtyard. It was like a forest with small trails! We found the grass patch and took care of the biz part quickly. Then I got us lost in the woods! I was just so excited about this new place and forgot that I still had a blind person at the end of my harness... I was following my nose along the trail! I remembered to stop at the curbs and stairs, so Nikki didn't fall or anything. But to tell you the truth, I wasn't guiding her; I was guided by my nose and curiosity!!! We passed through all kinds of interesting smells! Nikki was getting frustrated, but I could care less! When we finally ended up in front of the shop/casino part of the hotel, Nikki found a security who gave us the direction to the timeshare part of the hotel and got us back on track. Oh yes, you better believe that I was reminded of my job!!!

This is Vegas! Daily routine goes out the door! Humans decided to go out for dinner around 9pm. The strip was bright and full of people! Now I really had to work hard so Nikki wouldn't bump into anything!!! At the restaurant, there were 2 very tall funny-looking people! They were about to begin the show. Though we couldn't see their show, we took pictures with them. I'll post some time soon.

Saturday started late and relaxing. Our friends who live in Vegas came to visit. So we enjoyed pizza and movie with them in our room. Our initial plan was to go to the heated pool, but it was too chlly for that!
After our friends left, Nikki and Greg got ready for the show for the evening. Greg left first to get the tickets, and we were to meet him at the Hard Rock Hotel later. Wow! We were on our own!!! To make things more challenging, there were two Hard Rocks! Thanks to the cell phone and helpful people (and my great guide work) we found the right place just in time for the show. It was a Motown music show. Nikki and Greg liked the music even though the food sucked... I offered to taste the food at the buffet line, but immediately turned down...

Sunday, we browsed around the Verragio. Its famous garden was decorated Asian style for the Chinese New Year. It was amazingly beautiful! Being a photographer, Greg took tons of pictures. So many nice stuff at the mall!!! Nikki tried on a $55,000 Lorex!!! Hey lady, cut it out! That's more than what you make in a year! She can only dream... Then she went to Tiffany's and tried on the heart pendant, earrings, on & on & on.... Lady, Cut It Out!!! Oh, then we went to this French bakery that was on TV. Their cake was more like art! Nikki got one with raspberry and rose petals. I'd say it's too pretty to eat, but she ate it anyway for breakfast next day.
In the afternoon, we went to our friends' house and hanged out before going back to the hotel. They had a cat, but I couldn't play with him because for some reason, he was scared of me. So Nikki kept me in harness to assure my best behavior.

Time flies when you're having fun. Monday was the day we headed home. Needless to say, Nikki and Greg had a wondrful Valentine's weekend. My highlight of this Vegas trip; I got to go on the escalators many times! YES, I love them!!! AND, I was allowed on the bed a little bit! Shhh, don't tell the hotel house keeping!
