p! The Ford dealer called to tell us that the truck would be ready by 5:00pm. We used the morning to shop, do laundry, and get the trailer ready for an early start tomorrow. Finally, we drove to the Ford dealer and picked up the truck; the manager had even had it detailed for us so it looked like it was new! We dropped off the rental car, had some lunch, and headed into Vegas.After parking in Bally's garage, we walked to the strip and started by watching the tail end of one of the fountain shows at the Bellagio. After that we walked all the way through Caesar's. The place is HUGE! At the far end, we stopped to watch the animatronics show, "The Battle for Atlantis." The kids thought the gigantic robots were pretty cool!
After that, we headed over to the Mirage. We were too early for the volcano eruption, so we walked over to the Venetian to check out the gondolas. Kim thought w.JPG)
e might want to ride in one, but when she found out that they were electric powered and not really propelled by the gondoleers, we decided it wasn't worth the wait. We headed back out to the Mirage and got a ringside seat for the eruption. That was impressive and the kids loved it! Flames blasting out everywhere, erupting water that was colored bright orange and red by hidden lighting, and awesome sound effects all had the guys totally amazed!

We'd never realized just how gigantic and complex each of those shows was. The pond th.JPG)
at the fountains are in must cover more than 4 acres and you can't even see the whole show at once because it's just so wide! Their sound system is also amazing and we decided to keep our spot on the rail and watch the next show too. It's hard to imagine how much horsepower it must take to shoot all that water that far into the air. A couple added to our entertainment by having their wedding right in front of us at the Bellagio Fountains! We were having so much fun and being so entertained that we just didn't want to leave!

We drove up to Fremont Stre.JPG)
et and got out to stroll. We saw rock bands, dancers, musicians, magicians, and painters. There was a saxophonist that had three saxs and played quite well. Jake really enjoyes that part! There was also a painter that did entire landscapes and even pictures of outer space using only spray cans. We were absolutely amazed by what he was able to do with spraycans and some newspapers and cardboard. You'd never believe that they were done without brushes! Within a half an hour the gigantic show started on the ceiling! If you didn't know, Fremont Street is a three-block area where the entire area above the street is a gigantic projection screen, like the scoreboard in a football stadium. Everything else on the street stops, even the tourists; everyone just lloks up!After we watched that show, we finally headed home. We hope to get a few hours of sleep and be on the road by 5:00am. It'll be more than 600 miles to San Francisco tomorrow!
