Vegas - Day 2

Day two of our Vegas trip:

8:30am - Wake up way too early due to excitement of Vegas. Rather than wake Sue up, I read in the bathroom for a half hour.

10:00am - We are clean, crisp, and ready to go. Head out on the town. First stop, pretzel at New York, New York. They are ALMOST as delicious as the ones at Grand Central;)

11:00am - We wander over to MGM to watch the lions. By sheer luck, we show up just as they are coming out, so we get a good spot.

12:30 - After some lunch and meeting up with the family, we start our first sight-seeing day. First stop, rampant commercialism at the M&M store! And, yes, it IS true what they say about the green ones;)

1:00pm - First stop on the tour: Bellagio. We wander around for a bit, then head to the best part of Bellagio: the authentic gelato shop. Soooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo good. I think I might have had a mini orgasm on that first bite.

4:00 pm - We've hit up Caesars Palace and Flamingo. On the way back, we get some good drinks at Margaritaville at the Flamingo. I think this is the latest I've been sober in Vegas.

6:00pm - We've napped for a bit so it's time for dinner. Head over to MGM again for dinner at the rain forest cafe (shut up; Yea, we are tourists. I blame Sue's family). At least they make decent fruity drinks for the wife. I get beer. I'm not drinking anything that comes with an umbrella.

9:00pm - Separate from the family. Time to really get our drink on! Sue and I have made it our tradition to see NY NY's local band Phoenix at least once while in Vegas. Lots of good 80s rock. We have plenty to drink and lots of great sing-along moments. Our waitress sucks though. She disappears every 20 minutes to do God knows what. I assume smoke breaks, but this Vegas. It could be almost anything to be honest.

1:00am - Tired and sore (I haven't walked this much in the last 3 months), we retreat to our hotel room to pass out.
