Las Vegas, Nevada
When we arrived in Vegas it was late around 11:30 p.m., we were exhausted but this is the time when Vegas comes alive.
We stayed at the Stratosphere Casino Hotel & Tower
The tower has rides and shops or you can go up there just to enjoy the spectacular view of Vegas at night.

Lots of beautiful hotels & casinos in Vegas including one with replica of Paris, the Eiffel tower, The Arch de Triomphe, and take a walk inside in the casino area and you will see the Alexander Bridge. As you walk around the inside of the hotels you feel as if you are transported to the streets of Paris with lots of little shops and bakeries.
For Ethan's 13th birthday we decided to celebrate with a birthday lunch at the Sugar Factory. They have lots of sweets to choose from along with delicous crepes, waffles, french toast, pancakes, several sandwich choices. I decided to get crepes because they sounded so good. It was a tough decision so many good choices, but I think I made the right one
