Las Vegas Day 2
We woke up really early for being on vacation, around 7:30 in the morning. I think it was the excitement of starting a full day. Everyone took far too long to get ready for my taste, but I tried to practice patience. They were dead set on going to the Bellagio and eating at the buffet. The walk from the Mirage to the Bellagio was sensory overload. We passed Caesars Palace and I fell in love with all of the Roman/Greek statues and fountains. We got a drink outside of the Bellagio that was the best drink I've ever had in my life! This guy made everything by hand! The lemonade, the muddled mint leave, smashed pineapple and lemon pieces, etc. It definitely showed in the price but it was worth it. Best drink ever!
After eating way too much we went back to recover at our room (i.e. nap!) before the first of two shows. After about 2 hours we were back out onto the strip and heading towards Harrahs. I was a bit skeptical about this show, what do I know about menopause? But the women were hilarious and excellent singers! They changed the lyrics to songs that I was familiar with and we all laughed the entire way through. (Could have been alcohol ha). After that show we were back in a taxi and on to Excalibur! While I wasn't too big on the dancers they were hilarious and interacted with the crowd a lot. Their dancing was impressive but the BEST part of the show was watching my family have such an amazing time! They brought my aunt D on stage and grabbed my mom and they were just loving it, I mean LOVING it! That made me extremely happy experiencing their happiness and fun, except the part when my other aunt spilled her entire drink on me.
The taxi drivers aren't the friendliest and they don't stop for pedestrians, they just lay on their horn. Everything is extravagant. I'm excited to get out and see the landscape! I'm really hoping my family will be down for that too. If they aren't, I just might leave them behind.
