Here is a photographic recap of my fun trip to Sin City, where I attended the Create & Connect trade show with Canadian Scrapbooker magazine.
It was my first trade show, and I was so excited to represent the magazine as their Social Media Correspondent.
As well, I had loads of fun doing demo's in the Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L booth.
Luckily, we had time for some sightseeing! Our first stop was Hoover Dam.
From there, we drove into the desert looking for the Eldorado Canyon Mine Tour.
Our tour guide was fantastic. We saw some real rattlesnakes (in his fridge and freezer!)
We walked around the ghost town...
...and toured inside the Techatticup Gold Mine.
Back in the city, I spent 3 days at the trade show and my evenings on the strip...
We ate in a restaurant in Paris...
And the hotel window displays were fabulous...
On our last day, we had a free afternoon so we drove back into the desert to visit Red Rock Canyon...
Did you know there are wild burros in the area? We were lucky enough to spot a couple and stopped by the roadside to take photos!
The washrooms were "unique"...
Yep...looking like the Wild West now!
This is definitely a trip that will end up in a scrapbook ! But it was definitely ALL good and no bad...Good times, good friends and lots of laughter!
Love your blog post - puts me right back in Vegas, reliving the trip!! Amazing times with good friends and blast furnace heat!!!!
ReplyDeleteGreat photos! Looks like you had a fabulous time.
ReplyDeleteooooo I wish I had seen you there :) was a super fun trip and you look like you had a great time :)
ReplyDeleteFUN photo's!! Looks like it was great trip!!
ReplyDeleteLooks like you girls had a blast. I love Vegas and all the side trips. I hate to say how many times I have visited there. I always say it is my last visit but then I break down and go again. I lost count at around 45 times. Always something new to see or a great show to take in. It is also really amazing to look back at the pictures I took of my first visit in Vegas, hardly any of the casinos still stand. LOL! Anyway great blog post Kelly I enjoyed reading it.
ReplyDeleteKelly, I see your daughters look like you in these photos. Love that picture of the toes out the window!

ReplyDeleteHi Kelly!!!! WOO Hoo - what wonderful photos! I enjoyed each and every one of them. I am so happy that you had such a wonderful time. I would have LOVED all of that eye candy! (And we saw Jersey Boys on Broadway and loved it, too!) thanks for sharing your photos, stories, and sense of humor with all of us!
ReplyDeleteWell, hello, Kelly - I entered some contests over on Canadian Scrapbooker Magazine, saw your pretty face there, followed their link to "like" the magazine on Facebook, & saw your face again, so I clicked on your page to say hi. What a fabulous bunch of Vegas pics you have on display. We love it there and have made 9 trips to date, although we still have not seen a few of the places you mentioned here. Food for thought for our next visit in March. Thanks for sharing your photos & stories. Fran (Quick Silver at sb.com)
