Sin City Fireworks

So we went out last night to watch fireworks. We sat on the edge of the back road behind the M Resort.
Several people parked behind us. Kind of made me mad that some of the people dont have enough common sense to turn off their headlights. I mean they were shining right in my car. Anyway so while we sat in our car with a perfect view of Las Vegas and Henderson, we watched all the illegal fireworks being launched. 9:00 was the firework time. Finally after what seemed like an eternity waiting the fireworks started launching. Right away I was sad, the fireworks being launched off the M were totally lame. Didnt even look like fireworks, they looked like someone firing off a ton of flares. I wish we had gone to Green Valley Ranch to watch because we could see those in the distance and they were nothing short of amazing.  Earlier in the day we had talked about driving to Colorado to see fireworks, yea we are that crazy to drive 12 hours to see fireworks over a lake. We have seen them there many years and they are always fantastic. If we werent taking a long vacation in a week then we would have gone. Next year I hope that a fireworks road trip will be in the cards.  If not then I will take my family and we will watch over at the Station Casinos.  We did launch our own LEGAL fireworks at the house and they were okay. Nothing like I remember as a kid. but I wouldnt let my kids hold roman candles like I did, or light bottle rockets. But I would let them hold a sparkler. The sparklers that we got the kids were funny. They lasted at best 15 seconds, Lame. We will try again next year though with better ones. all in all the kids had a great time and so did I but only because I was with them and enjoying life.
