If you haven't been to Monkey's Treehouse yet... and you have a child under the age of 5... go! After being open only two weeks, Mc is a seasoned pro. She had been with her Gaga and her Daddy, on separate occasions, before I ever had the chance to take her.
Well, last Wednesday, we met Danielle and Ava over there to spend the morning. You pay 7.00 to get in (or, you can buy a pkg.- 10 visits for 56.00; quite a deal!) Once you are in, it is like baby heaven. There is everything you can think of for them to play with. There is of course a huge treehouse that spans the length of the building. It has slides, ropes, swinging bridges, etc etc. But, then there is also a kitchen area, a grocery store, a theatre with dress up clothes, a craft area, an area for 2 and under with balls, rollers, foam pieces, etc, an enormous doll house, tables, puzzles, chalkboards, go fish, maps, on and on; anything their little heart desires. Nice for us? There are sofas and chairs and if it isn't packed, you can actually sit down and see them from pretty much anywhere in the room.
The Downside? It is probably going to be packed. When we were there on a Wednesday morning, there were atleast 50 kids and just as many moms. I would suggest maybe trying an afternoon... my guess is it woudn't be so packed later in the day. Also, one other bad thing. There is a sand box... inside. They have to wear their shoes in the place, but if they get in the sandbox they have to take them off. Mc doesn't really care about it, but Ava really liked it, so she'd get in, take off her shoes, get out, put them on, over and over. It was really messy. Also, I just think it is gross... maybe ya'll are okay with it, I don't know.
There is also a lunch room there and you can take your own lunch and eat it there. Or, there is a McDonald's in the parking lot and you can walk to it.
Anyway, all in all, it is AWESOME. I highly suggest you go. It is inexpensive and you could spend several hours there. The best part? My hour and a half napper took a three and a halfer when we got home!

Hey Las Vegas bound friend,
Yeah, so glad you all are going, you will have a great time and the Bellagio is wonderful. Be sure to do the Sundance helicoptor tour if you can ( you will see alot in a short amount of time...about 4 hrs) See a show, book before you go if you can I recommend a Cirqu de Sole show!! Eat at Bouchon(Thomas Keller) in the Venetian, Olives(Todd English) and it is in the Bellagio and make sure you have a reservation for the veranda seating b/c you will see a wonderful water show while you eat!!! Also, a great French cafe called Mon abi Gabi is delicious for lunch or dinner and you can also see the water show on their porch seating. Shopping is wonderful, walk through as many hotels as you can b/c they are all really neat and have different things to offer. You will have a blast....oh yeah, watch the ground and look down often b/c our biggest win of the trip was a $50 bill just on the ground!!! Some people are so snowed from all the gambling that money frequently falls out of pockets around there and is never claimed. Anyways, I can't wait to hear about the trip. Have a fun and if you need to call me my cell is 430-3817.
