New Year's Eve 2007

This New Year's Eve - we decided to spend it with our closest 350,000 friends on the Las Vegas strip! We had Big Edd drop us off at the Sahara and we walked the strip (drinking beer and jaiger-bombs and buying party hats) all the way to 15 where we eventually talked a taxi into taking us home around 1:30.

It was quite an experience and a great party! Next year we're thinking about getting a room and staying there a bit longer...if you want to join us - let us know ASAP because things will start to sell out soon.

Here is a short video of the fireworks display that went off at midnight. Seven strip casinos were included in the choreographed display and you can see about 5 of them in the video - we were standing in front of MGM when we took it but those fireworks didn't make the video. Enjoy!





Betsy is sporting the 2nd party hat of the evening she found - with a 'Happy New Year!' lighted up for everyone to see... she's staning in front of the Bellagio fountains which were going off to the song "It's starting to look a lot like christmas..." very nice.






Betsy was making friends with all sorts of people - including this friendly Las Vegas Police officer who was part of crowd control. Say "lock down"!



Stan with his greatest find of the night - 32oz pitchers for only $6. Hmmmm Beer - it's what's for dinner on NYE!
