Back in Action!
All I needed was a little 4-hour cat nap to catch up heheheh YEAH RIGHT
like I wrote on Gail's thread, I'M SO TIRED!
My feet are about to fall off...we barely slept for 4 days!
Didn't lose, didn't win big (won a little bit, but nothing that we didn't spend on food/drinks) ...saw a boobie show ......had a beverage in every single hotel on the strip and 2 off the strip (Rio and Westin) ......saw the Bodies exhibit at the Trop ......went to the Price is Right (apparently the price was WRONG....We didn't even win a t-shirt) ....explored all the shops but only bought a Fekkai hair product that I could've easily bought in NY ....got a beautiful pearl necklace and breakfast in bed from my sweets .....ate well, drank well
I'm a moron - the VERY FIRST NIGHT, I decided to sacrifice comfort for cuteness (shoes), and I hobbled back to the room with 8, YES 8, blisters. Of course, this had to happen on the very first night, so I was limping around the rest of the trip (in my sneaks and flippies).
We missed breakfast everyday, but had lunch around 12ish, then hit the strip. We walked the whole thing, and saw every hotel. At night we'd come back to the room to shower and change for dinner/nighttime, then stay out til 5ish....sleep til 10ish, and start right over again!
We both had a great time, and we can't wait to go back. We'll definitely stay at Paris again - it was my favorite!!! It was really fun - full of people our age, but not crazy partiers, if that makes any sense. Beer (tequila for me), poker, t-shirts, etc.
I added a bunch of pics in my community album, but here's an explanation.
And I'm sad to say, although the Ocean's 11/12/13 crew is in town filming at Venetian and Bellagio, we didn't see any of 'em. 
OK, pics! My favorite things 

Our first night



Bellagio water show (we could see it from our hotel room, but this pic was taken from the walkway out front.)

Next night, dinner at the Venetian (and it was awesome!)





Caesars Palace (Rich got this stuuuupid huge gold medallion for free, and WOULDN'T TAKE IT OFF . He's actually still wearing it. )


The Conservatory at the Bellagio (all those cool buildings are made entirely out of plant products)

Capitol Building

Smithsonian Castle


Replica of the hotel, including water show and screens!



Bellagio Hotel Lobby Ceiling (soooo incredible)

Some fun





The Eiffel Tower

...and the view from the top (my favorite part of the whole trip!)

Looks and sounds like you had a great time...as long as you foget about the foot issue. I made the same mistake last year when we went. I wore shoes every night and we did so much walking...my feet were making me miserable. Now, when I think back, I never remember the pain...just the BLAST we had! You wil too!

awwwwww Don 
Didn't find your money...like I said, we didn't win big, but we won a little. It covered some of our trip expenses, like meals and frozen bellinis. 
Dude, you would've loved the Price is Right we saw...the final showcase, the guy was $60 AWAY from getting the whole showcase! (he had to be within $100 of the actual price to win everything...he was $160 under, so he only took home the 2 small prizes.) The showcase was awesome, and I really need to know how the heck they figure their prices. Showcase was: a 2006 chevy cobalt a 2007 chevy mustang w/ leather and a moonroof a dual cd/dvd recorder and a PSP system with some games.
The guess was $34,725, and the actual price was $34,885. I wanna know where they're getting 2 cars for under $35K!
