Viva Las Vegas.....Palms Place Style

WHO DAT???
We were lucky enough to be able to stay at the Palm's Place in a beautiful luxury condo for Limo Man's birthday. The Palm's Place is a 52 story condominium tower behind the Palms Casino and Tower and the Fantasy Tower.
The tower on the left is the Palms Casino Tower and the one on the right is the Fantasy Tower. The playboy bunny head is on the other side of the tower so you can't see it from this view.
Here's the living room and kichen area of the condo. So plush!!!
Here's a shot of the bedroom and jacuzzi tub in the bedroom.
Yep, it's impossible to keep Limo Man out of a tub photo op!
It's a good thing that this picture was taken from 25 stories up. It doesn't show the whole whale on the beach thing....MUCH

Boz Skaggs and Michael McDonald at Pala

A little over a week after we got back from Alaska we went to Pala Casino and Resort to see Boz Skaggs and Michael McDonald perform. We actually saw Michael McDonald walk throught the lobby as we were checking in. It was a great show and we had a great time while we were there!
Limo Man got this shot of Boz Skaggs rehearsing from our suite.
Limo Man was amazed by the size of the walk in shower. You could've fit 6 people in there!
I love a good jacuzzi tub and Limo Man likes to have his cocktails in the tub! Oops it looks like the photographer had a few as well.

Goodnight and Goodbye Anchorage!

We got to Anchorage and after a battle with the front desk crew at the Captain Cook hotel we finally got settled in our room. (Limo Man had originally booked a junior suite with a king sized bed on the Captain's Deck level of the hotel. When we got to our room it had a full size bed in it. Well, if you know Limo Man you know he's 6'4" and both of us weren't going to fit in that tiny bed). So we had to go down to the front desk and have them change our room for us. As it turned out we got a 2 room suite with privileges on the Captain's Deck. The Captain's Deck is on the 17th floor of the hotel and offers free hors d'oeurves and soft drinks in the evening with a free hot breakfast in the mornings. They also had a big screen t.v. and a great view of Anchorage.
After we finally got settled in our room Limo Man wasn't feeling very good so I left to go shopping for awhile. When I got back from my shopping adventure we went out for a drink. It was only 10:30pm when we left to walk over to the restaurant. When we got back it took a while for us to get this shot but it was 1:30am when we finally got it. This truly is the land of the Midnight Sun!

Whittier, Alaska Our last port.....

The ship actually pulled into port in Whittier on Tuesday night but they wouldn't let us off until Wednesday morning.
We took a tour bus through this tunnel and stopped at a park for about an hour.
There were a bunch of small icebergs that had separated from another glacier. The colors were just so beautiful that we had to get some shots.

The Balcony and the Suite

We like to spend a lot of time in our room and I wanted to show you some shots.
This is the vanity area outside of the bathroom.
Okay so this is a terrible picture but it's the bedroom area.
The living room and desk area with the closet and front door.
Ah the balcony. Too bad it was frickin' cold. A balcony like this in the Carribean would be great! Oh I can imagine the rum drinks now!
