Memorial Day weekend trip to Las Vegas.
Hotels:
Luxor the first two nights. This Egyptian theme hotel is shaped like a pyramid. The elevators are located in the corners of the hotel and due to the diagonal shape of the building the elevators move diagonally. At night, the top of the Luxor lights up like a beacon.
Excalibur the third night. This castle theme hotel has a connection to the Luxor enabling easy transition between the hotels.
Highlights:
* Bellagio conservatory and fountain show.
* Volcano eruption at the Mirage.
* Venitian shopping area with the ceilings painted like the sky making it feel like you're outdoors.
* Titantic exhibit with items from the ship. There are mockups of the 3rd class stateroom (2 bunk beds) and 1st class stateroom (like a suite). There is also a replica of the Promenade deck with the ceiling looking like a clear night with stars and you could hear the sound of the sea. There is even a model of the iceberg and it is made of real ice.
* Criss Angel Believe magic show. The magic acts happen very quick and it is hard to believe what you see (ie motorcycle appearing in a box)
* Stratosphere tower to see a birds eye view of the strip. The south stripis partially visible. There are also rides on the observation deck and a skyjump where you're tied to a big bungee cord and you jump from the top to the bottom.
