Las Vegas Thurs/Fri 7 BJ's / 9 blacks
Thurs morning we checked out and I couldn't wait to get to Las Vegas and have some people interaction but Betty wanted to go to Kayenta (an artist communuity) first so we started out with a delicious breakfast at the Bear Paw Coffee Co which again was highly recommended. Spot on!! Food was delicious and there was a line out the door (for breakfast) so that should tell you something!!
On the way to Kayenta we stopped at a shop that specialized in yard art & interior decor called Dirt Cheap , Mistake, $175 later I had bought the motha of all souveniers. A 4 dimensional copper & brass moon , 2 metal lizards (one eating a bug) and 2 kokopellis for Kelli's room that were #'s 48 (Kelli's fav nascar driver) Another $36 got it shipped home . It arrived yesterday so Kenny will be over to hang it tonight. It will go on the opposite wall of my other huge lizard.
In Kayenta we noticed some metal sculputres out in a field so hopped out to investigate. There was a labryninth (sp) to walk in to find your inner peace . B, B & I walked it ( Kelli is in the car) and I took pics of the whole setup.
On to the artist shops , which wasn't very big but was very unique. I bought a pair of red dangly lady bug earrings as another rememberance. I really needed those
Went on to LV where Marge had secured us a room at the Wyndham/FF Grand Desert. We were on the 9th floor overlooking the MGM/Luxor/Excalibur. We had absolutely no problems and altho I was asked to take a tour I said no as I was only going to be there day & 1/2. We went to Ellis Island to eat & play a little as we were all beyond exhausted. Betty had blackened salmon which she is still talking about to this day. Swears it's the best she has ever had. I had an amazing 12 oz prime rib for $12 that was cooked to perfection . Kelli had the special steak for $6.99 which she said was just ok & I forgot what Bill had. For a Thurs I was surprised that they had a wait (1hr) and when we left it was even longer. I had no trouble finding something to do. I played bj & Betty joined in. I helped her play and when she was up to $14 she walked off a happy camper. I was up $40 when our supper was called.
Bill dropped us off on the strip where we mostly walked around & I played more BJ. Took a taxi back fairly early as I was ready to do it up right the next day.
Fri: We deceided to have breakfast at Mon Ami Gabi on the terrace at Paris. It was something I'd always wanted to do. Betty & I split eggs and bacon & an incredible waffle/crepe with berries and real whip cream. This was the most expensive meal/breakfast I've ever had $70 for the 4 of us but it was worth every penny. After breakfast they wanted to go back and have a 2nd honeymoon and not see Vegas at all!!
Screw it, I was tired of trying to please everyone so we bid adieu and I said don't wait up!!
From Paris we hobbled over to Planet Hollywood so kelli could build a Elvis Bear at Build a Bear. I quickly realized I was not going to be able to do much walking so found out I could rent a mobility scooter right at PH from the bell captains desk. It was only $40 and boy was it money well spent. I had it from noon until midnight. FYI, it was top of the line, very comfortable, had headlights, turn signals, horns & a basket. We rode over to Bellagio, Caesars, crossed the street all the way down to the Palazzo stopping to play along the way. We deceided to eat at the Cheesecake Factory where we split the most incredible clam chowder I've ever , ever eaten. Kelli had a cheesburger, and I had a portobella mushroom sandwich. We should have just split the cb as there was so much food and we wanted cheesecake!! I had my mind set on strawberry cheesecake until Rex (our waiter) suggested the prize winning red velvet one. OMG, Died and gone to heaven. This was the most incredible food experience of the whole trip. Cost $45 including a 10 tip!! Everything was perfect, the food, the waiter plus they charged up my scooter.
Afterwards we crossed the street and ended up at Harrah's. Kelli had seen a Sonny & Cher shirt she wanted for $30 at Caesars so told her if I won she could have it. We ended up at Harrah's ( my brothers fav spot) Kelli was quiet while I played bj and soon she knew she had her shirt as I was screaming everytime I got 21. I had 7 of them. After that heyday I tried roulette, bet on black and had 9 straight blacks b4 loosing !! My brother was really shining on me tonight. I could just imagine my mom & brother looking down on me and just laughing. We crossed the street got Kelli her shirt, went to Balligio to see the last fountain show (we also saw the first) crossed street again to take the scooter back to PH and got a taxi to get home. Sat we hopped on the plane and had an uneventful flight home.
It was an incredible trip!! A perfect balance of nature and man made wonders!
Hope you enjoyed my trip, y'all should try it sometime.
