Las Vegas Was Wonderful!

We had such a great time.  I met Craig at Tropicana on Friday morning.  To our delight they have really done a lot with the property.  A big portion of the casino was blocked off & due to open in a few days.  The guestroom was beautiful!  All brand new everything.  We then walked across the street to Excalibur for breakfast at Sherwood's.  It was very good.  Then back to Trop & out to the pool.  It was so nice. 

We cabbed to Bally's & checked in to our usual room with the best view anywhere.  The room is a bit dated but we love that old Las Vegas feel.  For lunch it was off to Pink's at Planet Hollywood/Miracle Mile shops.  Fantastic!  We had been to Pink's before near our home but,  not his one. Went to Bally's Steakhouse for dinner right after having a great cocktail in their new bar.  Wonderful dinner as usual.  

The next morning we were off to Mirage to The Secret Garden to see the very cute 7 week old white tigers!  There are also many other animals to see...Leopards,  lions etc...All very well cared for.  Then over to Imperial Palace for lunch at the new Hash House a Go-Go.  It was good...but,  a little much.  I will leave it at that.  However,  you should go at least once.  Then...BARRY concert at The Paris.  Fabulous!  We were in the 5th row...Not bad for comp tickets!  Harrah's has always been really good to us!  For dinner it was off to Planet Hollywood to Yolo's.  The food is so good there & this visit was no exception.  We ate at the bar. 

The next morning we had a bite to eat at Nosh at Bally's.  We walk by it all the time & have never stopped in.  It was nice.  Then for lunch it was KGB at Harrah's.  Very good burgers with kind of a 60s Russian spy/James Bond thing going on.  Right along with a whole bunch of vodkas & slinkily dressed waitresses.  For dinner it was at Tao at Venetian.  We were seated at a wonderful table sort of in a corner on a couch.  The food was quite good.  The famous night club upstairs wasn't open that night.  It was still a big scene.

The next morning we went to Luxor to our old standby,  Pyramid Cafe.  I love their meatloaf!  Craig had a really great pizza.  Then it was off to the airport.  We managed to go to 6 new places this trip: Sherwood's, Pink's, Hash House a Go-Go, KGB, Nosh & Tao.  That's so unusual for us because we have so many favorites.
