On Friday we got up early and headed for the Hoover Dam. We got there before the tours began, so we didn't have to wait at all. We went in the first group. This is the view of Ronda going over to peek out the view hole in the dam wall. Here is what she saw--the new bridge.


When we finished the tour, we wandered around and took more pictures.



Then we headed back to the Excaliber. We decided to play some games there and to wander around some more on the strip. We saw the jelly bean sculpture of the Statue of Liberty.



Then we took a walk over to the Luxor and took some pictures from the outside.



Once we were done strolling around, we headed back in for another trip to the Tournament of the Kings dinner show. Last time we were cheering for the King of Norway, tonight we cheered on the King of Ireland. He was a lot more fun to watch. Ronda kept booing the other kings and they would pull faces at her to tease her. We had front row seats both times. Come to find out, that day marked the 20th Anniversary of the Excaliber Hotel and Casino as well as of the show itself, so they did a special presentation after the show. This is the whole cast, cooks, and crew of the show at the presentation. The kings you cheer for are on their horses in the back. The King of Norway is in orange and black (fourth from the right). The King of Ireland is in green (third from left).


They also brought out a 300 pound cake in the shape of the casino. Here it is! Unfortunately we didn't get any!


Here is a picture of the castle/stage from our seats. We had a great time!



Unfortunately, Saturday we had to head home. We got to see our little man, Duncan that night though, so it was worth coming home for. Here he is waiting to see us.


Here he is all worn out from helping us unload and unpack.

  1. Welcome back! I had fun reading all of your vacation posts. We saw the jelly bean statue of liberty but quickly headed out of NY NY due to the drunks all around. The show looks like fun! Is it expensive?

  2. They are not really bad for Vegas, but they run about $65 per person.
