2017 Las Vegas trip report as written by my daughter

Yes, I've heard, Las Vegas is not for children.  Yet, on occasion, I take a family trip out there with my wife and daughter, who was seven at the time last year.  It wasn't her first trip to Las Vegas (or any casino place, for that matter), and I do take the time to plan out activities for her to do.

My wife had her write a journal during our trip last year, and this is what she wrote.  It is "as written", so you'll have to forgive the spelling errors. . .
