USA Day 6 - Vegas Baby!

Total States Visited: 2
Where Are We Sleeping Tonight: Paris Hotel Casino, Las Vegas

After a nice sleep in, we started the day off with a real American brunch - an all you can eat buffet! You name a food and they had it! My brunch comprised of shrimp, sushi, various pastas, numerous different french dishes (including ratatouille) and numerous different yummy cakes from the patisserie. We explored the Paris Hotel a little before jet lag caught up with me and I needed an afternoon nap. This gave Clare the perfect excuse to hit the casino floor (situated under the Eiffel Tower).

 

In the afternoon, we explored Caesars Palace and it was just like being back in Italy. There were Roman style statues everywhere and a recreation of the Trevi Fountain. I had to do the Vegas thing and buy you're typical Vegas items - poker chips and a 60's style hat. Next we headed over to the Bellagio to watch Cirque du Solei's "O" and all I can say is wow - it is like an Esther Williams musical in reality! I doubt that there is any other show in the world that comes close and although I haven't seen any of their other shows, I am confident in saying that this must be their best!

 

 

After watching a couple of the fountain shows at the Bellagio, we had a wonderful dinner at a Mexican Karaoke bar - the Cabo Wabo Cantina. Clare sang "I Love Rock N Roll" to huge applause (and not just from me) - when Clare got back to our table, everyone at the next table over gave her a thumbs up!

Back at the hotel we got to enjoy more great American TV commercials :)
