Las Vegas July 2007

Visit with Joan Marcotte at her home in Las Vegas, Nevada - Friday - July 27, 2007.

The four sisters - Arta (Greenwood) Szathmary, Diane (Greenwood) Winkley, Cathy (Greenwood) Cerveny and Beth Greenwood enjoyed the sites and sounds in Las Vegas, Nevada.

We had a very busy schedule - Cathy and her husband Randy were already visiting in Las Vegas, and Arta, Diane and Beth met with them on Wednesday - July 25th. Our first day together, we went to the Wynn Casino, and with our comp cards were able to enjoy the buffet by only paying for three meals out of five. That evening we headed over to Freemont Street Experience. Thursday we purchased 1/2 price tickets for Menopause the Musical which was thoroughly enjoyed by the four of us. Randy took in the Star Trek experience. Again we hit the buffet at the Wynn (fantastic food). Friday, Arta, Diane and myself met up with Joan Marcotte for dinner at Carmine's Little Italy. Afterwards we stopped by her house for a few minutes. Then we drove up the road to Henderson, Nevada for our next stopover place of Fiesta Henderson. Saturday morning Cathy and Randy headed off to Los Angeles, Ca to spend a couple of days with their daughter and son-in-law. The three of us, drove over to Hoover Dam. We took the walking tour and enjoyed the beautiful scenery and the power of the water. Sunday after dropping our sister Diane off at the airport for her ride home, Arta and I were able to pick up tickets for "Mystere" - Cirque Du Soleil show at Treasure Island. I can tell you that even though I saw the amazing things that they performed, I can't believe any actual regular human can do some of the tricks. Monday dawned and we decided we wanted to do another show, so while driving (excuse the term - actually it's more like parking on Las Vegas Boulevard) I jumped out of the car and went to one of the 1/2 price ticket spots and purchased tickets to see The Fab Four at Planet Hollywood. Another fantastic show. Then on Tuesday morning our fabulous week came to a close and we caught our Southwest flight home.

Just got back from Las Vegas, NV

Well I just returned home from Las Vegas, and I had a great time. My sister Arta and I flew out together, we met up with oldest sister Diane, and also our youngest sister Cathy and her husband Randy for a few days of fun together. Our first night together - Wednesday July 25th, after dinner at the Wynn Casino we went to Freemont Street. For all the sights and sounds there. It is a do not miss item. Then Thursday evening we (the girls only) went to see Menopause the Musical. (note the buffet at the Wynn was so good, (and we had some comp on our players card) we had dinner their again. Friday evening, my sister Arta, Diane and myself met up with Joan Marcotte for dinner and then stopped by her home afterwards. After leaving there, we headed out to Fiesta Henderson Casino, our sleeping quarters for the remainder of our stay in Vegas. Saturday morning we headed up to Hoover Dam and took the walking tour. Well we did use a wheel chair for Diane, which gave Arta and Beth the capability of always being first in line for the sights at the dam. Saturday we stayed at the Fiesta Henderson to donate our money. Then on Sunday, we took Diane to the airport so she could head back home to Colorado. Arta and I went to one of TIX4TONIGHT stands and got half-price tickets for Mystere- Cirque Du Soleil at Treasure Island. After the show we had the dinner buffet at Treasure Island. Monday we again hit one of the TIX4TONIGHT stands and purchased tickets to The Fab Four at Planet Hollywood. Before the show we hit the buffet at Planet Hollywood. Then Tuesday we had to catch our flight back to Pennsylvania. The week and the money all went too fast. But I wouldn't have missed for the world.
