Just wanted to give everyone a quick update from Las Vegas. the weather has been cold here with temperatures at freezing during the evening. I’ve had to wear my heavy winter jacket to keep me warm.
I haven’t gambled much here ($5) so far. I’m not a huge gambler to begin with and of course all the machines are just hungry for your money.
Food and items are not cheap. you would think during a recession restaurants would want your money and have a reasonable menu, but alas that is not the case. I’ve been trying to keep my meal cost down, but let’s face it, it isn’t easy in Vegas.
Tonight Russ and I are headed to see Cher. this one of Russ’ icons and I thoght this woul be a great Christmas gift for him, since he bought the tickets to come down here.
I am surprised that nit many hotels here are decorated for Christmas. The only two hotels that have gone out of there way are Ceasar’s and The Ballagio. I’ll have to upload photos when I get back home.
Well time to back to some shopping as there are some great deals on clothing to be had here.
It’s good you’re having fun. Vegas will take your money — how else do they pay for Eiffel towers in the middle of the strip or Venetian palaces?
The Bellagio breakfast buffet is one of the best — pricey, but good. Also, if there’s a game you want to catch, the Bellagio sports book is great. You can bet 10 bucks on your favourite team, relax in their comfy chairs and enjoy the free drinks with a cigar.
I’m going for the second time, after X-mas.
Post more updates if you get a chance!
Have a great time in Vegas! I had a fantastic time when I was there.
Agree with Michael, the Bellagio Buffet was fantastic… though I heard the Planet Hollywood one has won a lot of awards recently..
