**Super secret surprise extra trip!**
Welcome to Fabulous Las Vegas!
No, we didn't elope. We're going to a baseball game! Woo!
On our way to the ballpark, we went looking for our friend Bruce at the other H&H (Hogs & Heifers, not bagels).
We found Bruce! Hi Bruce! Thank you so much for your hospitality!!!
Hard to argue with this logic...
We went to see baseball! Cashman Stadium, home of the Las Vegas 51s (AAA for the Blue Jays). They were hosting the Fresno Grizzlies (AAA for the Giants)
Views of the ballpark
Aubrey Huff was gracing the Grizzlies with his prowess.
It was sooo hot! A cooling mist keeping the fans cool. Or spreading listeria. Either way...
On-site dentistry. Ballpark haircut- Yes. Ballpark root canal - No.

Welcome to the sight-seeing portion of our trip!
Please forgive the day/night confusion. It is Vegas after all...

Behold the Stratosphere!
Oy...Behold the person jumping OFF the Stratosphere!
(Never fear, it's one of the "rides")

Circus Circus (our hotel) from Stratosphere
View of the strip from Stratosphere
We're on top of the world!
A tame ride on Stratosphere - seats going up and down the spire.
Uh, and then there's this ride...hanging over the edge of the Stratosphere.
Oh no.
NO!
This guy's about to jump off the Stratosphere. WHAT? Is he nuts???
Air Bar - for all your liquid courage needs so you too can jump off the Stratosphere.
We did NOT ride any of those rides, so we made it back on the ground in the correct amount of pieces.
And some of this crap. Or non-crap.
Circus Circus - our hotel
The view from our hotel room
Las Vegas, where even the soap is smiling

Vegas has BS elevators.
Gondolas at the Venetian.
Big Hurt's Snack Shack? Does it give you heartburn? Does it rip the roof of your mouth? Does Frank Thomas hit you with a baseball bat if he doesn't like your order?

Gordon Ramsey by day, on the mini Arche-de-Triomphe
