Vegas, baby. YEAH!

Cora and I flew out from Houston to Las Vegas Friday night and arrived around midnight, witnessing the bright lights of the Vegas strip. After the shuttle ride to our hotel and checking-in, we finally hit the sack around 1:30 AM (3:30 AM CST). We are both accustomed to sleeping between 9-11 PM, so we were completely exhausted to say the least.

Saturday morning we had breakfast at the Bellagio and we LOVED it, well, the actual hotel that is. The food was delicious (I had a lobster omelet, while Cora had mixed berry pancakes), but it was practically offset by the horrible service. We walked around several other hotels and shopped a little before heading to a dinner buffet at the Rio. We were so stuffed that we had to wait a good thirty minutes before heading back to Bally's for our first Vegas show, Jubilee! What a show! I would totally recommend seeing it to anyone who wants to see a true Vegas showgirl show. After the show we went back to the Bellagio, of course, for some drinks and a great view of the dancing fountains.
Sunday, we tried to sleep in a bit and then had a quick breakfast at the hotel's cafe. After picking up our Mystere tickets at Treasure Island, we went shopping at Fashion Show Mall and the Canales at the Venetian. Then we attended our Cirque de Soleil show, which was good, though I have to agree with Trung, once you see one, they are all pretty much the same. Still, it was Cora's first show and it wasn't too bad. We ate at a Hawaiian restaurant afterwards and then called it quits because we had to wake up at 4:45 AM the next morning for our shuttle pick-up. Overall, we didn't do too much since it's really all about the gambling and we only spent a buck each on the slots, but we had a wonderful time chilling and experiencing this place called VEGAS!
