Favorite or funniest Vegas stories...

My absolute FAVORITE moment in time in Vegas was listening to DH scream like a little girl on the Manhattan Express! At then end of the ride he asked me why I kept screaming. He honestly didn%26#39;t know it was him! LMAO!!!





So what%26#39;s you favorite snapshot in time of Vegas? That moment that will be frozen in your memory forever, no matter how much Vegas changes?



Favorite or funniest Vegas stories...


The moment when we both looked at each other after our first Bellagio Fountains moment. ';Time to Say Goodbye'; by Andrea Bocelli was our first experience and brought tears to my eyes and hubby too.





It was a very memorable moment of our recent trip.





Nice topic!

A full moon above the Eiffel tower at Paris, the Bellagio fountains and my husband singing along with the Italian opera. If all goes well (he%26#39;s going on cancer med in a few days), we will be back there in Sept. Whether we get there or not, I will always remember that.




Rehn - you will get there and your husband will be fine. Just have faith.



My husband had quadruple by-pass surgery in April and we were doubtful we would be able to make our trip in August. Well with good doctors and some positive thinking he is healing very well and we will be in Vegas in August.



I am sure your husband will do just as well, remember keep a positive outlook and have faith.



Enjoy your trip.




About 5 years ago my wife and I brought my sister to Las Vegas for her 50th birthday. It was her 1st visit, and because she doesn%26#39;t gamble at all and likes to swim we stayed at Mandalay Bay. The first few days we explored all the newer hotels avoiding the older lower end properties. On her birthday we took her Downtown for dinner at Hugo%26#39;s. After dinner she went to the restroom at 4 Queens, not exactly the same as MB or Paris,lol.



As we were riding back in the cab my sister commented that she felt foolish in the bathroom there. She went to wash her hands, stuck her hands under the faucet (like at the nicer hotels) and couldn%26#39;t get the water to turn on. After a minute or two a lady next to her noticed and showed her that it was an old-fashioned faucet and she had to turn it on. She remarked that she felt silly. We all laughed.



I commented that I didn%26#39;t really mind having to turn on the faucet, but it was reaching to flush the toilet I didn%26#39;t like. She exclaimed: ';The toilet doesn%26#39;t flush itself? OH MY GOD!';



The cab driver just could not stop laughing. And because laughter is contagious that was one heck of a cab ride.



When we got back to MB, the driver thanked us for a fun ride.




Ktinca,





That is GREAT!! How funny that she didn%26#39;t flush!!





Rehn,





We%26#39;ll all keep your DH in our thoughts and send positive vibes for his speedy recovery!




i%26#39;m with sandc4e....the fountains are beyond words,we honeymooned in vegas recently and have only just stopped getting teary when we watch the time to say good bye bit back.the other thing that rocks about the fountains is you can see them to viva las vegas by elvis and walk away wanting to party.



our room at planet hollywood looked over the lake so it will always be our #1 vegas memory





ps great topic steph




Nothing exciting ever happens to me.




Last year a large group of ladies were in Vegas for about 10 days on the last day it was just me and a friend and it was her turn to drive. We were using my other friends mini van. We were drving to the Rio and stopped at this light and in front of us this stake truck dropped its load. the guy gets out to look at it and doesn%26#39;t set the brakes so it starts rolling backwards and I start screaming back it up back it up. Well of course she can%26#39;t cars are behind us. Finally he notices the truck rolling backwards and jumps in to stop it. WHEW. We continue and I say something else about her driving and she say don%26#39;t tell me how to drive just be quiet. (Tempers are a bit short after no sleep and 11 women LOL) So we pull into Rio and were sitting in the car and waiting and waiting and she looks at me and says wheres the valet. I said we are in the wrong lane for valet, she looks at me and says why didnt you say anything? WELL, because you told me to be quiet and not tell you how to drive. We roared and still do to this day.



That the thing with good friends is being able to laugh at our selves.

My wife and I spent our honeymoon @ Caesar%26#39;s. We were on 15th floor (our 2nd night as a couple),.. and at 3:00 A,M, the fire alarm goes off !!!!



I grabbed a towel and wrapped it around me, and opened the door to ';see'; if there was a fire, or smoke.....while I was doing this, my wife called the front desk...they told her it was NOT a fire, just a false alarm, and that they would be shutting the alarm off.



Well.......she didn%26#39;t tell me this, but came to the door, grabbed my towel, and shut the door!!!! She left me in the hallway.......NAKED !!!! I was so angry at her, because I could here her behind the door laughing hysterically. I was not laughing!



Needless to say, a little old lady opened her door to check out the fire siutation, and she saw more than she wanted to see!!!!



We laugh about it now (20 years later)...but at the time I was so mad!



All is well, we just celebrated our 20th anniversary and will be returing to Vegas in 5 days!!!!
