Awake: 6:36am Temp 50 sleep 6+37 sunny overnight @ Las Vegas, NV.
After our morning breakfast, we motored downtown, found a free parking spot & began walking the Las Vegas Strip.
We started close to the Encore & Wynn Casinos & headed south; stopping outside the Venetian to watch the young & old lovers riding in the Gondolas...under the bridge & a few turns is about all you can have; of course the riders are serenaded by the gondolier.
This canal looks like a mighty good place to escape to ?
But it's all graphics folks.
As we walked the sidewalks, one would not believe that this state of Nevada is totally bankrupt; there are people everywhere....outside. Inside the Casinos, what we saw were a lot of empty tables with most people playing the slot machines; lots of unused ones, however. We understand though, that the heavy hitters usually play mostly @ night.
The Casino Royale caught our attention...with (5) slot machines outside & (4) free spins, we fell for this ploy. Now don't get excited, but K & I both won $50.00. The highest one can win is $100.00.
Then we had to cash the voucher to redeem either a beer or a Margarita, or try our luck, gambling our $50.00 on one of the special slot machines the on the inside. We chose the Margaritas, which cost us each $.50. Actually the strawberry Margaritas tasted great.
Walking further south, we crossed the street simply to get to the other side! Oh, there's more; on the sidewalk we just left, a big bunch of St. Patrick's Day revelers were really having a party. Our target was to see what's new @ the Bellagio; thus the maneuvering.
Great balls of flowers & umbrellas
In the Bellagio Conservatory, the tulips are blazing with rich colors and the butterflies are dancing around the habitat. The air is filled with that scent of spring and you can just feel the warm weather around the corner.
A rose is a rose is a rose....but this rose is a snail
And you thought your ants were huge Melissa; these buggers are made of bronze, so they'll be around for awhile. Oh, by the way, the egg will be a girl.
This tree is jjjljljl
One last display I thought was worthy of reckonison ....Lindt dark chocolate 70% coca.
Leaving the Bellagio, people were lined up outside to see & listen to the Bellagio Water Show, which featured "Chicago" & "All that Jazz." It was fantastic!
Beyond the rainbow, how in the dickens can hotel guests see thru their windows when Donny & Marie are blocking their view? Mail in your answers & the winner will get a lovely gift after the Obamacare becomes active.
Walking back to our car, Kathy was attracted to a good looking golden creature just sitting around looking....like gold? All total, our pedometer registered a mere (4.5) walk miles.
Melissa called: she had a short question & I had a long answer. Then Kathy had a long question for Melissa & she had a short answer. It was late for them so we held our talk time to (15) min.
Dinner: Corn beef & cabbage with carrots & potatoes, olive-rosemary bread & cuties.
Evening movie: "Brighton Rock." We watched (18) min.
Lights our: 12:13am.
