Sin City

Hello - I am back from Sin City. We had a great time. Arrived on Friday morning checked into our condo and changed clothes. we both were starving so we headed over to the casino next door for breakfast/lunch. The weather was warm enough for short sleeves and open toed shoes. We ate and then gambled the afternoon away. We thought about 3pm that we ought to head back to the condo for a nap if we intended on making it through dinner and a show that night. Little did we know we were getting picked up at 5:30 for our night out.

It was a very little nap then to the shower for a quick cleanup and dress clothes. Our friends Bob & Veronica picked us up and took us to Ceaser's for dinner at Joe's Seafood, Steak and Stone Crab (very fancy seafood). It was great! I have a very big petite filet and it was still mooing just the way I like it. After dinner we went to see a show. I thought we were going to a stand up comedian (our friends go the tickets). Much to my surprise and delight we were going to see Bette Milder. It was fantastic. Full details and a great story in another post.

Saturday day and night was just for us. We went down to the strip in the morning and walked, and walked and walked. Stopped into Paris for breakfast/lunch. Bet on some sports stuff at NYNY and then over to Hooters to watch the race - OH BTW that was why we were out there to see the Nascar race. After the race was over we headed back to the condo to spruce up and go to the Hard Rock for another show. It was just ok so I will leave out many of the details - since it's not all terribly clear anyway. LOL

Sunday morning we were getting picked up again by our good friends to head out to the track to go to the race. It was very windy and cool - but once we were in the grandstands we were fine. The race was fun, our seats were great and we got out before all the crazy traffic. Once again back to the condo, clean up and over to the casino next door. We had a great little Italian dinner did some gambling and headed home - it was a long day.

Monday we went all the way up to the new Winn and walked back - my feet were very tired. But there are so many great things to see. Especially the people. We stopped into Planet Hollywood to kill time before the water show at the Bellagio started. I did a little shopping while Arthur gambled. After we watched the water show, walked over to NYNY to cash in our winners from Saturday and then headed home to the condo - to . . . you guessed it! Shower change and head out to dinner and gable at our casino across the street.

All in all it was a great trip. I had never been and had such a good time. Arthur was an amazing tour guide and although we are both tired still from the travel and staying up late - we can not wait to go back next year!
