We figure this will be a day that we explore some of the hotels on the strip.
We go to Bally’s and pick up our tickets for the show the next day. Both of us get the giggles as they are writing out our names on the price tag name tags.
We sign up for a player’s card at Bally’s and get a free t-shirt [the card also entitles us to a 10% discount at various shops in the co-operation of hotels].
We do some shopping and browsing at stores in Bally’s before we head over into the Paris hotel.
We spend a long time in there. Then we catch a cab over to the Luxor. We wanted to get a good look at all the Egyptian themed stuff there.
Dawna tries to get me excited about making a Las Vegas DVD at this booth that is there where it looks like you’re flying around Las Vegas on a magic carpet. We go and buy tickets to Tut’s museum and a simulation ride about finding some lost obelisk. We go on the ride and enjoyed the elevator part of it. The second part of the ride just made us both feel really ill and gave us headaches. We had to go and sit and eat/drink something to see if that would make us feel a bit better. It did, but only just a tiny bit better.
We go through the “museum,” which was so not worth the money we spent. Oh, well, live and learn.
We were both too queasy from the stupid ride to even entertain the possibility of getting on some spinning magic carpet to make a DVD, so that was a definite pass.
We walked over to the Excalibur hotel and did some shopping again. Dawna dared me to have my weight guessed. If they couldn’t guess within 3 pounds, we’d win a prize. I went up. They guessed wrong. Won a stuffed dragon. Then Dawna gave it a go. She also won a stuffed dragon.
From Excalibur, we took the walkway over to the New York New York hotel. I was able to get a nice picture of the MGM Grand hotel.
Dawna was thinking that she’d like to try the roller coaster at the NY NY, but we both agreed that today was not the day as we still felt really icky from the Luxor ride. Instead, we went shopping [spent a bit of time in the Harley Davidson shop there] and ate some pretzels [very yummy].
By this time, it was around 9:00 p.m. We went back to TI and hung out in the hotel room [ordered room service].
An expression had grown over the last few days that we used quite a bit. It started the first night when we were tired, giddy and slightly tipsy. We kept saying “F-awww-k.” We’d kind of squawk it out like a drawn out chicken cluck.
We used that word a lot to describe the simulation ride.
We made an early night of that night and got to bed around midnight.
