Day three and I think that we had our busiest of the days so far. After my wife's conference was done in the afternoon, we headed out on foot to go see the sites. And we did a bunch! We went and hobnobbed with the stars at Madam Tossouds Wax Museum. It is creepy how life like they are!Then we were off to see some of the other sites at the hotels along the strip. We went in to most of them and compared to the Ceasar's, they seem to be of lesser quality. We have yet to see the inside of the Bellagio so we will can't comment on that yet.
We did take the ride up to the top of the Eiffel Tower at Paris-Las Vegas. It afforded a great veiw of the strip and the surrounding countryside. We even saw the fountains do their dance again from 50 stories up!
We headed south on the strip again and checked out the Luxor which is just HUGE! But like so many of the others, the Casino is the main attraction and it looked just like all the others. On the way back up the strip we stopped at the M&MM World store and shopped around. You can see in the photo all the 22 colors of M&M's bu we only ever get to see about 7 of them in the commercial market. We bought some for the kids. It was neat to see the colors you never see in packages.
We got back to the hotel later that afternoon and made use of the huge jaccuzzi and got ready to head out for dinner. We got to eat at SPAGOS, which is the famous restaurant owned by Wolfgang Puck. Man, it was some good food, but like everything else in Vegas, expensive.
Later we headed over to the Venetian for a gondola ride and a bit of shopping at the Blue Man Group store. My son Julian would love this store...
I purchased tickets for the Star Trek Experience which we will do on Wednesday so expect some photos of geeks tomorrow!
Gotta run! Later!
