Viva Las Vegas

As you know you'all..."All the happens in Vegas, stay in Vegas!" But because it's you I will share a few of our adventures during this leg of our journey. You saw the resort we are staying in and I must say we will miss it here as it has been the perfect place to be as we are only 10 minutes from the strip and there is a great casino & hotel just down the road a ways of which we managed to stay away from until the past 4 or 5 days during the weekend and after Debra got off work. We always had good intentions of just playing our 20 dollars and most of the time it worked until we got closer to leaving here and then it was if we had to hurry up and win big. When you are not in the casino you know that the house always wins but when you are there you just know the next card or the next spin will bring big bucks!! I must say we did alright and most of all we had a lot of fun and met some nice people in the process.

We went to see two shows...one at Caeser's Palace with Cher which was great as there were great costumes by her old desighner Bob Mackie and innovative staging along with music hits from across the decades. She puts on a great show but we decided we didn't like her personality. When she opens the show she just comes down from the ceiling and then just talks for awhile before the real show begins. She is very narcistic and was trying to be funny/smart but it came out very poorly. She has also been in the Botox and has had a face lift of sorts. I liked her as she looked when she was with Sonny, now she just looks weird. I make it sound like we didn't enjoy it. We did, I'm just being a critic. We met our friends Shelton and his wife Carol for lunch at PF Changs and sat and talked trash until the dinner crowd started coming in. Had a chance to do some people watching and boy are there some wild looking folk walking these streets and a lot of fat people too...made me look skinny and cute! :-) Also saw the Dancing Waters at the Bellagio. Tried to take some pictures with my cell phone but they didn't come out too well as you will see maybe since we are not sure how to get them on the computer. The next show was the best and I would highly recommend it to everyone if you are out this way. It is at the Bellagio and is called "O". It is one of the Cirque du Soleil productions and uses a 25 foot-deep pool of water as its stage.1.5 million gallons of it, and features high divers, synchronized swimmers, acrobats, fire dancers and contortonists, along with Celtic Woman type music, which we both like. It was just amazing and we had just great seats for both shows. Before the show we went and had dinner at Mon Ami Gabi a French resturant at at the Paris Hotel and Casino and even had escargo and my favorite desert Perfitilios. ok..so I can't spell it but I sure can eat it!

Next stop is Zion & Bryce for two days where it is currently snowing and very cold...should be fun. Oh well just another adventure for us!!!
