Paris?! Not Exactly...

It was the OTHER "La Ville-Lumiere" (City Of Lights).... Las Vegas!

And yes, this is the "Eiffel Tower" at Paris Hotel. Actually I was poolside when I took this photo. Not a bad place to catch some sun, sip some cocktails and take a dip in the pool.

Sure the real deal would have been magnifique, but this was a nice alternative -- especially for a 1 1/2 hour flight. We saw a fabulous show (Cirque du Soleil's "Love" -- all set to Beatles music), ate some great meals, relaxed by the pool and shopped. Not too shabby, considering it was 20 degrees and snowing back in Denver.

Best of all was the girl time spent with mom and the sista's. Very fun. So much so, we have to do it again. But next time -- the real Paris ;)
