The High Roller

We went after school to show the kids the high roller.  We told them if they got their homework done without whining we had a big surprise for them.  Sadly the kids would not do their homework without a bunch of screaming and freak outs, we did not get to the High Roller before 6pm so we did not get to go on it.

  

 If you go on it before 6pm it is $20  person, after 6pm the price jumps to $35 a person.  We are learning consequences :)

 Instead of riding the High Roller we checked out the Polaroid "Museum".  I air quoted museum because it is the saddest one I've ever seen.  I will now save you $5 a person...  They have a gift shop where you can buy tons of camera things.  The funniest thing you could do there was take your nice digital pictures and upload them to their computers and reprint them to look like polaroids.  I just found it to be the dumbest thing.  But I guess if you absolutely love polaroids, then this is for you :)

 Hayden had to pose with the Andy Warhol mannequin.  Weirdly behind him is a mini wall made of Campbell's chicken soup cans.  I do not know much about Andy Warhol but I have never put him and chicken soup in the same thought.

 We then paid the money to ride the elevator to the second floor for the "museum".  They had this long line of polaroid cameras throughout the years.

 Then they had this small glass room with portraits of Andy Warhol on the wall and fans on the ground.  The fans blew silver clouds (aka: silver balloons) up in the air.  I guess I am not cultured enough to understand Andy Warhol's art.

 The back wall was covered with polaroids of famous people. Many were old celebrities, a bunch of drag queens, and of course someone's butt.  The kids had to point that one out to us!

 They had this really cool art piece on the back wall.  It was fun to pick out different images.

 They also had the oldest and biggest Polaroid camera ever.  I love the TV behind Jason & the kids, that image was not planned.  I saw it after I took their picture and couldn't stop laughing.

 They had these random polaroid cameras made for fast food chains.
                                  McDonalds.

                                       Taco Bell.

 I had to get a close up of this 1985 polaroid camera.  It is exactly like the one our family had when I was young.  The memories...

 After the 5 minute "museum" tour we went over to Sprinkles.  The judge from Cake Wars owns the Sprinkles franchise and there is a new store here in Vegas!

 Yummy!  We all had a cupcake sundae.  They cut the cupcakes in half horizontally and put a scoop of ice cream in between. Genius!!  It all comes in a cup and you can add sauces for $1. (*Warning* these are on the pricey side $6.95 for one sundae!)  It was a once a year splurge for sure :)

 Doesn't that look delicious?

 They even have this hilarious cupcake ATM.  It really works! You swipe your card and order a cupcake.  It comes out in a cute little box.

 This was Tyson after eating 3/4 of his sundae.  Thank goodness he kept it down.  It may have ruined cupcakes for all of us if he didn't!

 This is Hayden entering a sugar coma.

Super fun night!  If you get a chance head on down to the Linq and check out all the new Vegas fun!!  (They also have a Ghiradeli store there and they serve ice cream too!!)
