Road Trip 2014: Day 8

We left for Vegas this morning about 10 arriving just a couple hours later due to the time change. We were too early to check in so we looked around the hotel, had lunch, visited the shark reef (which was filled with screaming children and was crazy over-priced), took the tram to New York, New York so Parker could ride the roller coaster, and wasted some money on kiddie gambling (claw game). Then we tried to check in at 3 but room wasn't ready. We (Michael) complained and got $ credit and different room. But new room had horrible view of roof and air conditioning machines so he complained again while the kids and I got the suitcases. The complaining was worth as finalroom was great. Super view.

Then we went to the pool which the kids loved. Great wave pool and lazy river. Unfortunately Parker slipped and hit his head and I didn't see it even though I was sitting close. Two security and one lifeguard brought a tearful Parker over. We went back to the room to chill out and apply ice pack.We had room service for dinner which the girls requested. We are gonna wake up Parker every few hours tonight in case he has a concussion which we don't think he has.

Parker's swim team is the piranhas.

View from 21st floor. Girls thought this was best hotel ever!

Checking out automatic curtains.

Lazy river. Fast and fun!

On the way to jacuzzi right before Parker accident.

These were the free chairs. Cushions or cabanas were hundreds and hundreds of dollars.

After injury but couldn't pass up photo op.

Enjoying the amenities.

Dinner.

Almost feeling better.

Telling Michael that if he wins a million dollars gambling, she gets $30. Dollars.

We had to get a suite as regular rooms only allowed four people. It was crazy big. This was one of the three rooms.

With the exception of Parker getting hurt and initial hotel issue, it was another good day.  Tomorrow we will hang at pool all day and maybe hit a magic show. I want Penn and Teller but it might be Criss Angel.
