Well we awoke late to cloudy skies, but there is not snow and we didn’t need a jacket to walk around the strip so the weather was great in comparison to Illinois.
First we walked around the hotel complex – wow. There are 8,108 rooms. A total of 64 restaurants and bars and over 150 shops. They, whoever “they” are say that “this is the largest 5-star hotel complex in the world” and it is really big and everything is over the top, even for Las Vegas.
Our walk around, tourist trip today was to go to the big fashion mall a few blocks away from the hotel. We found out that they were going to have a fashion show on a runway in the mall, so we stayed around to watch it. Then it was pizza in a nice restaurant in the mall.
Next we went to the sports book at the hotel and placed a bet on Syracuse.
Then it was onto the casino for an afternoon session and we both lost – but we are still ahead for the trip.
After the casino, we went to see an acrobatic show in the afternoon which was fun.
We had reserved a couch in the beautiful sports book to watch the Syracuse game and eat; however, when we got there they had Tony Stewart from NASCAR and he was going to be giving a presentation and Q & A’s until 7:30pm. We had a private large TV with our couch but we couldn’t hear because of S
tewart so we left and had dinner in our room and watched the game which Syracuse won.Then it was onto the casino for our evenings play and it wasn’t a very good session for Ed. Yesterday we were up and today Barb was up and Ed was down.
We cashed in our winning Syracuse basketball ticket – should have bet more but we really don’t follow sports betting.
People watching was fun and the “kids” just streamed into the hotel going straight for the entertainment venues. There was a big deal in the front of the casino because Kim Kardashium (sp) was on the property - a red carpet and photo backdrop and lots of photographers were set up for her arrival. We didn’t wait!!
Everything was so crowed – they said it was their biggest Saturday of the last 12 months. We have walked and walked and it is very, very crowed and so it is time for bed – a fun Saturday.
