Vegas Photoblog ~ Day 2

Day 2 ~ Part 1
 
I was going to make this one long blog, but I think it’d be better to break it down. Our second day was long, with lots of shopping & sightseeing. So, here is the first half of our day.
 


 
The second day of our Vegas vacation, we crossed the street to have breakfast at the Bellagio. It was all decorated for the Chinese New Year. The God of Wealth and Fortune greeted us at the entrance to the atrium.
 

Check out the topiary rat and the peaceful koy.
 
For breakfast, I had the crab cake benedict served high on a stack of hash browns.
 

 
I was too busy stuffing my face to take a picture of Sunny’s lobster omelet.
 

 
After eating, we walked next door to Caesars. Venturing over to the Forum Shops, the Sea Horse Bar and the Pussy Cat Dolls gambling area caught our eye.
 

 
Ok, I KNOW we just ate, but when we saw the gelato display, we HAD to have some!
 

 
I wish I could say it tasted as good as it looked, but mine was a bit.. uh… frosty. Not creamy. There’s another gelato storefront at Caesars that doesn’t focus so much on the display, but the taste & texture is exceptional.
 
On to FAO Schwarz to play on the piano from BIG.
 

 
We tried to mimic the facial expression of this style-head doll.
 

 
We found this cute little chocolate store, Vosges.
 
Talk about unusual chocolates!!
 

 
If you have a hankering for, say, a bacon bar, check out their website HERE.
 
To be continued.
 
Thanks for reading!

Another Vegas Photoblog ~ Paris

Posted on January 30th, 2008 by Jean

Sunday Sunny and I made it to Vegas by early afternoon. We had a BEAUTIFUL room at the Paris hotel & casino.
 

 
Here’s a picture of the Tower from our window.
 

 
That’s Bellagio across the street.
 
Nice beds, nice armoire, NICE MINI-BAR!!!!
 

I like mini bars.
 
We trekked (no pun intended) over to the Hilton to check out the Star Trek Experience.
 

 
The museum features more than 200 Star Trek items, including these beauties…
 

Recognize some of these props?
 
The Klingon Encounter was fun, but broke down in the middle of our experience! The shuttle malfunctioned, and we had to evacuate and return to the Captain’s Bridge. Everyone was supposed to stay in the designated area, but we pretty much ran amuck.
 

 
The little trekkies were telling people to not take pictures, get out of their seats, stop leaning on the furniture, stop pushing buttons!
 
It didn’t help matters that the rides let out at Quarks Bar.
 

 
We heard a few chants for Romulan Ale! Romulan Ale!
Drunk bastards. LOL!!
 
After enjoying the rides, we checked out the Hilton gift shops. I fell in love with this adorable Fuzzy Couture hat, but not the price tag of $65.00.
 

 
But I found it today on ebay, and snatched it up for $29.00! Wahoo!!
 

 
Sunny bought a gorgeous ring! These lucite rings I found on Etsy.com are similar, but not as striking as hers.
 

 
Sunday evening, we enjoyed the comedians at the Tropicana’s Comedy Stop. John Roy was hilarious!!
 

 
Check out his MySpace Profile to see a clip of his performance on the Tonight Show last week!
 
After the show, we made our way back to our hotel and our room.
 
That concludes Day 1.
