Vegas Fun in April

Spring Break is a wonderful thing! We got away to Las Vegas for 3 days. We like to see the new and ever changing sights. These are new sky scrapers called City Center in the place of the old Boardwalk...where we used to take the kids to the Surf Buffet for inexpensive food. Yes, that building has the illusion of leaning over. I spent some time taking pictures of Lyle because it was his birthday!

We tried to do things that he wanted to do. This is inside the Wynn Hotel. It is beautiful. The floor is white mosaic with colorful florals incorporated into the design. This is inside.

This is outside the Wynn Hotel. What a beautiful setting. This hotel was built where the Desert Inn used to be. It has a beautiful, expensive golf course built behind.

We walked next door to see the new Palazzo Hotel. We watched being built from our window at the Wynn 2 summers ago. The colorful umbrellas and the high waterfall features (over Lyle's right shoulder) were impressive. They resembled a high waterfall.

Then we drove way out west to Summerlin Planned Community to look at houses. Well, Marlene fell in love with the first one we saw! This is the last house in the Crown Series at Kingwood at The Vistas community. This model home was being sold AS IS! EVERYTHING COMES WITH IT! TV, new oversided WASHER & DRYER, Kitchen appliances, bedding, window treatments, pictures...you see it....it will stay...except they will clean the carpet. Oh My.....It is gorgeous! Unfortunately...it is out of our price range! But enjoy my dream!

Can't you see Lyle cooking it up in this beautiful kitchen?

The formal dining room has a little patio out of the sliders to the side yard. (Although not pictured, the backyard was all hard scape except a 8' square of grass...(don't know if it was fake or real...but not much to mow! Just enough for Dottie!)

The master bedroom is downstairs. It is beautiful and grand.
Fabulous bath with high double sinks and huge closet.

Also downstairs, but not pictured, is the laundry room and another front bedroom/office with a separate bath. It is down a hall that we missed the first time we did the tour.

Now upstairs, you enter to see the turret! Yes, there is a quiet sitting area in the turret!

There are 2 more bedrooms and a bath upstairs that I did not post the pictures....but they are nice!

Well here is one last look at the family room....remember all the furnishings come with this place. The realtor said they would probably accept an offer of $390,000. Just too much for us.

Too bad....but a nice dream!

We traveled on to The Kingwood Crossing, a neighboring set of houses. These are 3 of my favorite shots from the house I liked the best. These were listed about half the price of the 1st place...still nice! But not a close out...

Bee this room is for you! The bed skirt is black with white polka dots. It was darling! Lyle was setting the mood by showing one of the outfits from the closet.

On the other side of the room, the Bee theme continues....soooooo cute!

Well, we are back home...rested and relaxed from our adventures. With 38 more days of teaching....It was fun living the dream of no school during the week.
