First off, we left Sonora, California, and decided to take a route north of Yosemite Nat. Park through the Sonora Pass. Let me tell you: we were over 9000 feet above sea level and there was a 26% grade at some points while we were driving.
The area was a bit intimidating to drive down, but the air was cool (59 degrees, at one point) and the scenery was appealing to the eyes. We also drove past this gorgeous lake that looked like the Pacific Ocean to me. I wish I could have gotten better photos of it. They didn't do the lake justice...
After a long drive through the desert, we finally made it to our destination for the evening!
LAS VEGAS!!!
And we have a couple of nights boooooooooooked...
Let me show you around the place a little bit :)
I couldn't help showing off the room a little bit... I mean, it even has a dishwasher in it. I think that is pretty cool. This is easily the prettiest hotel I have ever stayed at.
After we checked in, Matthew and I went to a restaurant called D.O.C.G. It's in the hotel, and the food was spectacular. Matthew said it was the best steak he has ever had, and I had something called Gnudi. We had a wonderful dinner. After that, we walked around the strip a little bit! I even did a little bit of gambling tonight.
