June 2014 10 years!!

This  year for our 10 year anniversary Tyrell surprised me with a trip to Las Vegas! We had gone there on our honeymoon, but like most couples, we were pretty limited on what we could afford to do. This time, though still limited, we were able to do a lot more. The first night we were there we were able to take a helicopter tour of the strip. I had never been flying, let alone in a helicopter. I was pretty nervous. It was sooo much fun, though. 

Then we went on the new high roller. That wasn't as fun as I had expected, but still neat. It moves really slow and takes about 30 min. to get around the entire thing.

The next morning we decide to walk around a little and just see what was there. Then, we went over to Mandalay Bay to see the aquarium they have there. It was really cool and impressive. 

After the aquarium we headed to

The wax figures here were so cool! They looked real! Judge for yourself. Warning: picture overload about to take place.

At the end of the wax museum there was a Marvel 4d movie. You could literally smell and feel the movie! We got sprayed a couple of times when something sprayed in the movie. We got jabbed in the back as well when one of the characters get jabbed. At one point there are things scattering across the floor and you could feel a sense that it was happening on your feet and lower legs. Kind of creepy, but really cool!

Later that night we had tickets to 

Which was beyond amazing!! I have never seen so much talent! They didn't allow pictures so this is all we have. 

I don't remember the order of the other exhibits we were able to go to but I do have pictures. 

Tyrell was so excited when we left the aquarium because there was a newer exhibit that they were giving away free tickets to when you went to the aquarium. It was called Score. It was a sports museum full of actual memorabilia. 

His team is on the top 50 most valued teams, ranking 18! 

One of my favorite exhibits was the Titanic. They didnt allow pictures in there either. As younentervthey give you a ticket. You become a passenger on the ship. The tickets have names and information that is real. At the end you get to look at the list of survivors and deaths to find your name and find out if you lived. 

Both of our people survived. The tour was really interesting. Among artifacts they have brought out of the ocean and preserved there were stories about people who were on the ship and why. I found it interesting that several passengers were supposed to be on other ships and ended up on the titanic for various reasons. They also had a replica of an iceberg you could touch to feel the coolness. There were sections that were set up to look like the different classes in the ship. There was a real part of the actual ship at the end of the exhibit. It was huge!

The last night we were there we decided to do the Eiffel Tower experience. 

This was really fun! The Eiffel Tower replica is exactly half as tall as the real one. They had wanted it to be the same size, but were told no by the airport. Once you are to the top you are in the open air, but are surrounded by a fence type thing. We watched many of the free shows up there. Here are some pictures of the fountains from the Eiffel Tower.

And, of course the view of the strip.

Some of the other things we did were free. The botoniacal gardens were beautiful.

We also went to the coke store and did their flavors from around the world testers. Some were delicious while others tasted like cough syrup.

The Hershey's store was fun too! They had a jelly belly Statue of Liberty and some Hershey's bar sculptures.

We really had a great time! It's probably one of the best times I have ever had!!
