Day Three... VEGAS
Day 3... Sunday
okay, I’m just getting back from being gone basically all day. We got up and went to brunch up in the tower restaurant... that’s the top of the stratosphere for those of you playing at home. It turns. The restaurant, not the stratosphere. So in the hour+ that it took us to enjoy our food we saw all of Vegas. Very cool. But have I mentioned that I don’t like heights? Yeah... no change there. But it was still cool. Also, we splurged and truly celebrated mom’s birthday... we got a chocolate stratosphere for dessert. Watch for pictures. The leftovers are over on the dresser. LOL. Anyways, after a brief changing of the clothing we took off for our adventure. Goals for the day were too achieve Bellagio and the Monet exhibit and to be at Excalibur in time for the show at 8. So off we went.
First stop was Speed, the NASCAR rollercoaster at Sahara. HOLY CRAP! Damn thing is fast. And then there’s the backwards part. And DAMN!!! HOLY CRAP. Pictures to follow. :P
took the monorail down to the Flamingo and wandered through there. Had to stop at the habitat and see the birds. They had penguins. Who promptly went and hid at the far side of the pond. Stupid birds. LOL. Crossed over to Caesar’s and wandered the forum shops. Had to stop in FAO Schwarz. Managed not to buy anything. Go me. And then finally made it to Bellagio. And the exhibit. Which was very nice. I wanted more of the water lilies because those are my favorite. But I guess it was sort of a brief telling of Monet’s career/life. We had to stop and sit for a while because we all hurt so much. I’m getting old! And then we ended up taking a cab to New York New York. We’d talking about doing the roller coaster there, but honestly by the time we got up to it, I felt sick. And there was a line. So we didn’t. And we headed across to Excalibur. Wandered a little while looking for food and finally settled on a HUGE buffet. I think I died there. The next thing I truly remember is James leaving us so he could go gamble and me and mom chilling out there for a bit. Then we were up and off to join the line. There was a very good juggler for part of the wait but still... my feet/legs hurt! And I just wanted to die.
THUNDER FROM DOWN UNDER
um... *drool/thud/die!* do I have to say more? Okay... Aussie... male... hot... strippers... *end of all coherent thoughts*

Okay... I’m better now. Maybe. We did not have VIP tickets but we up close in the line so we had excellent seats. Clearly. Mom got kissed by one guy. Her glasses taken by another... not sure where he put them since I busy enjoying his ass... And Scotty, took her on stage to play with. WOOHOO!!! go motherkus!!! where was I? Right. Neither of us has a voice left. :P
um... we got pictures with the guys. She looks fabulous. I look like crap. We’ll see what I can do when I scan them in and enlarge ‘em. (Did I mention we also got the pictures from the rollercoaster? We did) and I bought the DVD in the gift shop. Must have girlfriends over and enjoy... LOL.
We wandered over to MGM Grand to get Starbucks (mostly cuz I knew where that Starbucks was...) And while there, we were in line behind the two actors who play the cousins on Arrested Development. So strange. But cool. LOL. Then we waited in the LONG line and caught a cab back to the hotel. Mom’s in bed. James is still off gambling somewhere. And I am about to run back downstairs to see if I can buy something. Then it’s off to the shower and repacking all my shit so when I getup tomorrow all I have to do is get dressed and we can go. We have the sharks at Mandalay Bay planned for tomorrow and then home. Which I can’t wait for, even though this trip has been a ton of fun... I am sooooooo dead tired and sore all I want is a day off to relax! LOL!!
(Note- Bondage Boy’s name is Case {or however you spell it} and he’s from Holland. No, I did not just talk with him, but when I ran downstairs I was talking to the merchandise girl for the show and she told about him and we talked about the scarf chick)
(I should also note that with all the tattoo/piercing places we’ve passed walking around the last few days, I have seriously considered finally piercing my belly button. But I’ve resisted because I want to lose some weight first. Plus, I was playing with the scar there earlier and I decided it would wig me right now to put something else in my belly button. *snort* oh, and no, I didn’t get a tattoo either.)
Shower time! Woohoo!
