I was hoping to catch a glimpse of the baby lions at MGM Grand, but they were playing over in a hidden area.
This may have been for the best because I was already torn about the idea of enjoying myself while watching animals whose home is inside of a Las Vegas casino.
I ended up deciding that I couldn't go and see my old college roommate who now has a gig at the Dolphin Habitat at The Mirage. It just didn't seem right.
So I decided to have some gelato, and do a little shopping when I came upon the Guinness Book of Records Worlds Largest Aloha Shirt. I was so lucky to run across it, because it wasn't in any of the guidebooks!
What kind of trip to Vegas would it be without a little gambling? So I played some Video Poker, and enjoyed many complementary Club Sodas. (Very refreshing!)
I also made sure to slow down and appreciate some finer points of Vegas. There was a show of Ansel Adams' work at the Bellagio, which made for a wonderful morning. BTW, I highly recommend both the breakfast and dinner buffets at the Bellagio. Two words: CRAB LEGS (dinner only). Dee-licious.
I took a minute to meditate at the replica of Thailand’s Buddhist Brahma Shrine outside of Caesars Palace, and of course, had to see the replica of Michelangelo’s David. (He was very...uh, well...naked.)
Biggest disappointment in Vegas? I saw no Elvi. Not one. sigh...
