Las Vegas, Baby

I had a great time in Las Vegas.  I had never been there before, and wow...what a place.  The massive casino complexes, all the sights and people...amazing. 

The best part was spending some time with my wonderful mom.  We walked the strip, ate at buffets and did the shows together.  Sometimes we just lay on our beds and watched TV at night.  We stayed at the Paris hotel, which is just beautiful.

Sunday night we went to see Barry Manilow. I have always loved Barry, and we got amazing seats in the third row!  Barry sang every song you'd want or expect, and he was charming, dazzling and warm.  Loved it, it was such a treat.

Also got to see the musical Jersey Boys.  Excellent show, see it if you get a chance.

At the Luxor hotel, I went to see the Titanic exhibition and the Bodies exhibition. Both really fascinating and informative.  Humane and respectful, as well.  Very cool.

Did not do much gambling, somehow I left my gambling mojo at home.  Tried a bit at the Blackjack tables, but...no "winner, winner, chicken dinner".

I would definitely go back to Las Vegas, but bring a lot more money.  Everything is expensive.  Had a great time, though.  Hope you all had an excellent weekend.
