Wed. 7/27… (Las Vegas , NV ) This
morning (9:00am) we went over to the Oasis Grill (in the park’s clubhouse) for
breakfast. They had 2 eggs, bacon or sausage, hash browns, & toast for
$4.99. Plus we had a voucher from the desk for two free coffees/teas. Really good for $10.78! Afterward, (around 10:00am) we took off for
the strip. Now this was an adventure.
Ok follow this – park at Mandalay Bay (they
told us in the office which resorts are free parking – turns out this one is
not), walk thru the casino to the tram, ride the tram to the Excalibur 1 (we
thought that was the end), walk the bridges over to the MGM side, walk down the
escalator to get to the M&M’s store, walk thru that (and buy some stuff),
walk the shops and then head back across the street bridge, to the New York New
York casino, and to the Hershey’s store (no sale there), walk back to the
Excalibur 2 tram stop, express tram back to the Mandalay Bay, walk thru the
casino and to the pay-for-parking kiosk ($7.), check out. We think we could have parked for free as the
register says scanning license plate and the arm opened without our ticket,
drove to Target for a few makeup thingies, and then home! We rested for a while and I let Bailey out
for a few minutes to pee. Too hot for
her paws to walk anywhere until the sun goes down. We left again at 4:00pm to
go to dinner and the show. We drove to
the Mirage and checked out our handicap privileges. We have free access! Yaay! We
made our way thru the casino
and
to the buffet (prepaid as part of our show package). The food was really good and we stuffed
ourselves! Excellent clam chowder soup,
Bill! That done, we made our way to the theater to see Terry Fator ($95.ea
w/dinner). If you don’t know who he is,
he won the first
We
got out around 9:00pm and walked back to our car and drove back down the strip to our
rv park (we are a few miles south of the strip just north of South Point
Casino) so the drive took some time as the strip was packed! But it was nice and we got to see part of the
water show at the Bellagio. We walked Bailey since it was cool enough for her
now and then went back home to watch AGT results show.
Thur. 7/28… (Las Vegas ,
NV ) This
morning we went back to the Oasis Grill for breakfast again and again it was
yummy. We now know the cook who came out
and spent some time with us. We called
Lee and Lyn and made arrangements for the day.
We went to their home (in Henderson
about miles) and had a nice time visiting.
They fed us a light snack which was nice as well. We left to come home to rest before our
outing tonight. We left about 4:30 to
head to The Luxor for their buffet, which was good but not impressive, and then
to our seats for Blue Man Group ($99. ea).
We were out of the ‘splash zone’ for the show. Those folks just past Rick & Janie got rain gear to cover up
with!
The
show was really entertaining. Nothing is
said, just slapstick comedy skits, but everything is funny. I always enjoy that type of humor. We weren’t allowed pictures during the show
but we took some before…
And
after….
Afterward,
we drove home (easier drive tonight) and again gave Bailey a good walk/run thru
the park. The sprinklers were on but it is still super hot so that helped cool
her a bit. We hit the hay right after
that.
