Las Vegas, Nevada: After a good long sleep, Dave and I again went on a long walk, found food, did a lot of window-shopping and returned to the hotel, hours and hours and hours later, for a nap to get us ready for the evening activity. We covered a lot of territory, all on one street. It is a familiar course.
First stop: The Margaritaville Cafe... keeping with the family motto, Give Jimmy More Money. Naturally, I ordered the Cheeseburger in Paradise. I like mine with lettuce and tomato, Heinz 57 and French fried potatoes...

Our Adventure continued across the street, where we walked through the shops in Caesar's Forum. We can't even afford to window shop in this mall. Gucci. Louis Vuitton. Chanel. Valentino. Baccarat. Cartier. Armani. Rolex. Looking is free and the mall is in a beautiful marble-filled building and features a curved escalator.

Our meanderings took us past the shops in the Bellagio Hotel, through the Bellagio casino and then to have a look at the unusual and always-beautiful floral exhibit in the hotel atrium. The Bellagio has a pumpkin on display weighing 946 pounds.



with the amazing dining room at Mastro's seafood restaurant.
At this point in our ever-changing schedule, we plan to attend the Pac-12 basketball tournament this spring. The tourney has been held at the MGM Grand Garden Arena (where we attended the Jimmy Buffett concert last night) the past few years, but will move to the new arena built by the MGM group for 2017. The new T-Mobile Arena is behind the New York New York hotel complex. Dave wanted to check it out.

There is a lot of "installed art" around the venue. The arena is in the background of this photo.

After walking and window shopping all day, we finally made a purchase (other than lunch). We went to the massive M&M shop and bought a very few (just a teeny little bit, Lisa, don't be mad) candies for Leo and Lucy.

Tonight we had a date night. Tickets to Zumanity and dinner at an Italian restaurant. Zumanity is a like a porn show, except it is all respectable-like because it is a Cirque de Soleil performance. This circus show had humor, drag queens, aerialists, midgets, contortionists, martial artists, singers, dancers, swimmers and a wholelotta nearly-naked people and a wholelotta boobs. The strength and skill of most of the performers is difficult to imagine, let-alone describe. Intensity. Strength. Practice. Waxing. Lots of waxing. Watch a video of the show here. (NSFW.)

And then we had a nice Italian dinner.
Until my next update, I remain, your wide-eyed correspondent.
