Day 2 In Vegas

Monday, our first full day in Vegas. We set off kind of late to check out all the different hotel and casinos because they are all insane. Mid-morning and early-afternoon we visited Harrah's, Caesar's Palace, the Bellagio, Paris Las Vegas and also the four story M&M building.

That night we then went to check out the Stratosphere Tower (one of the most depressing hotels on the strip) and we didn't end up going to the top of the tower because we just wanted to get out of the hotel. We then visited Circus Circus and then onto The Mirage. Every hour, The Mirage has an exploding volcano attraction which is really pretty cool. It lasts for no more than five minutes but it is still spectacular to watch.


We then continued on to Treasure Island to see the Siren's Battle, which TI puts on four times a night. It is a performance at the very front of the hotel that follows the story of the sexy siren's on one boat, and the pirates on another. The boats move and there are explosions, lots of suggestive comments and actions (kind of exotic dancing with singing and cannonball fire). It is pretty groan inducing but it draws big crowds and is one of the main attractions on The Strip. Oh and, if there was any doubt, of course the Siren's triumphed over the pirates!
