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.

I love Lost Vegas too; but to people watch. Such a lot of free entertainment. Next time go to "O!"
ReplyDeleteSounds like a fun place - if you've got a bulging wallet. I'd like to put it on my itinerary, so far an imaginary one, alas.
ReplyDeleteOne of my nephews went there on his first ever trip to USA a couple of years ago. On his penultimate evening he met an American girl (I forget where she actually lived - but not in L.V. itself) and it's been going strong ever since, she coming to England on her very first trip outside America to visit his dad (my brother) and family, and he's been back 3 or 4 times since then to see her again. So it seems that Vegas does have its romantic possibilities too.
I like Las Vegas for a two day escape from reality. Agreeing with Spo, "O" is fab and also "Ka". I also do the people watch thing and don't gamble much at all. My new favorite hotel to stay in is Wynn/Encore. Paris is my favorite casino to pick up a man. Ceasars is my fav to people watch. Glad you had a great time and got away with Mom.
ReplyDeleteI love the Paris casino (haven't stayed in the hotel though). They have GREAT men's rooms, if you know what I mean.
ReplyDeleteIt sounds like a wonderful trip. Any pics?
