Vegas Day four...Chocolate and gambling





Today was a very lazy day, and at some points, boring. Yeah.. go figure! Bored in Las Vegas... but it can happen, especially if you can't justify over priced shopping or are not going to gamble and you don't have a car!

The conference was in its final day and was expected to last well into the afternoon, so i spend a big part of the day doing some reading and some tv watching. No Star Trek Experience today...
I did go out and do some people watching which can be quite entertaining in itself.

I talked with the kids and even got to talk to the dog, all of which made me a bit homesick, but it was better once my wife was done with the conference. When we got together, we decided to walk over to the Bellagio, the one hotel we had not been in yet. When we got there, we saw a very impressive set of Christmas decorations made up of giant polar bears and reindeer made up of carnations and pecans. They also have a huge tree with dancing water spouts around it. But that was nothing compared to the chocolate fountain at the little shop around the corner at Jean Phillipe's You can see part of it on the last photo. We couldn't resist the temptation to buy come good European chocolate and shared a small chocolate mousse cake. WOW was it good!

Later we went back to the Caesar and had some food and did a bit of gambling. The photo was not supposed to be taken in the casino, but the guy at the wheel of fortune said he would look the other way. We did not do to badly, turning $10 into $34. So, there. We gambled in Las Vegas. Now we are official non-virgins to Vegas.

Tomorrow we are planned to do a tour at a time share to get free tickets and dinner, something most wide eyed tourists get roped into while in Vegas. So. until day Five, see you later.
