Arriving at 5 am, we check in at Motel 6 and catch some zzzz's before taking on this big city. Then first things first....breakfast!!!!! We drive to The Venetian (since check in is still not until 3 pm) and look around for some good eats. We stumble across a nice bistro next to the indoor Gondola rides (oh yeah...they sing and boat you around indoors, but it is all painted like you are outside in Venice, Italy!!). We got some great food and got to see some queen like figure walking around in full costume handing out tokens to innocent passer-byers. Tokens for what you may ask...we don't know (we did not get one). After our late breakfast we headed to our hotel. Along the way we stopped to see the Bilagio dancing waterfall show.
Ok, if you have never been to Vegas (like me) then this city is a lot to take in. Not to mention you have to walk all the way through the ENTIRE casino to get to the elevator to take you to your room! NEVER AGAIN!!! That was nuts.
We get dressed and head out on the town to see all the sites. Mistake #1, we wore flip flops to walk the strip and got the most sore ankles the next day. Mistake #2, we went to Vegas in AUGUST. Can you say 120 degrees!!!!! But no problem, there was lots to take pictures of inside the hotel/casinos. We especially liked Cesar's Palace! The architecture was amazing.
We finally made our way to an outlet mall on the outskirts of town and scored some sweet Adidas wear and shoes! After some shopping we headed back to our hotel for the famous "Round Table Buffet". Wow!!! They had everything, and we ate it all! Diet, down the tube! Yum yum! After dinner we made a short walk to the Treasure Island Pirate show (which was not impressive...mostly half naked women doing some pom pom routine). By now we are pretty worn down and head back home. We decide to spend a few bucks and see how the slot machines work anyways. After only $2, my machine hits something good (I don't know what) and I win $54.28. Sweet! Time to cash out and go to bed! Not bad for never gambling! Basically paid for our hotel room! Next, the Hoover Dam!
