Walking down "the strip"
Another great Paso Robles Syrah before dinner - So much for that liver drying out thing!!
"Excalibur" at night- It's great when a night shot actually works with a pocket digital camera!!!Brenda has not been to Las Vegas for a long time; Jonathan, never! It’s bigger; it’s brasher but, it hasn’t changed very much. The newer hotels keep trying to outdo the ones that came before and the clientele is still one of the most eclectic found anywhere. However, the days of the $9.99 buffet are long gone, replaced by every celebrity chef on the planet vying for recognition. The kids have become bigger “foodies” than us! Last night we were at Wolfgang Puck, tonight Bobby Flay, and Friday, Charlie Palmer. I remember when restaurants had names!!! Now the chef comes first, the name of the restaurant second!! Oh yes………I also understand that there is some gambling done here!!
Last night we had tickets to the Cirque de Soliel’s “Ka”. None of us knew what to expect! The show was a sensory smorgasbord, with each scene/act more unique than the one before. The staging and the physical acts were unlike anything any of us had ever seen, making us all want to see the other Cirque shows in town. Maybe next time.
The next few days will be spent exploring the town and taking in whatever comes at us. We all want to experience each of the new hotels. We are staying at the Luxor, wandered through Excalibur and New York, New York, had a drink at Bellagio and, ate at the MGM. And…….we only got here at 3:00 P.M. yesterday. We have neither lost nor won any money, except that which continually flows from one’s pockets in the normal course of events. I wonder if I could pay for this part of the trip at the tables?????? Hmmmmmmmm………..
