We were suckered into a timeshare presentation incentive and got a 3-night stay at a Hilton resort in Vegas. Although we don't love Vegas, we loved the idea of the stay, dinner for 2, and show tickets. We arrived at our hotel in time for dinner and watching the fireworks on the strip. We went to a neighboring casino and kept the kids up until 10 pm (UT time) for the start of the show. Ethan was terrified but Sydney loved it. I went inside with Ethan and Lyla for most of the show. That's what happens when you're a mom.
Lyla spent most of the day sleeping in a crib in our hotel room or sleeping in the portable bed under an umbrella by the pool. It was 120 degrees when we arrived, but cooled to about 113 degrees the next day. That's cool, right?
Sydney loved playing with this bar and swung like a monkey for hours.
Ethan was brave and adventurous and spent a lot of time jumping into the water.
We had a kitchenette in our room--blender too. We brought our popcorn popper from home for our favorite movie-time snack. I made a spinach smoothie a few times and missed my Vitamix for sure!
Ethan asked me why I didn't bring dresses for him to dance. He improvised with some plastic (Syd wet the bed the first night and they brought new bedding up in the plastic. It was adorable. He loves "dancing dresses"!
They loved the massive bathtub in the hotel. They even could fit with their inner tubes! We just had a hard time getting them to stop screaming and squealing with joy in their bath.
Friday night, we saw the Beatleshow on the strip. The kids were all free and were the only kids there. We scrambled to eat fast enough at our free buffet dinner and then ran to show (literally). Ethan and Sydney danced in the aisle almost the entire time. They attracted lots of smiles from the audience and performers. I fed Lyla and held her covering her ears the entire show. It was VERY loud.
