Day 20: City Center & The Cosmopolitan aka The New Kids on The Strip

Went to see a matinee of Bridesmaids with Dave and Lindsey in the morning. It was very funny and a bit more gross-out than I was expecting. Then we went to The Cosmopolitan Casino which is new since the last time I was in Vegas.

Apparently there is a secret pizza place hidden among the fancier dining options so we stopped for a slice. It's down a dark corridor that you would assume leads to a bathroom or staff only area. It was pretty good, although not terribly inviting.


I rather liked the look of this place, called The Chandelier Bar.


On the walk around City Center, which is a jumble of couture shopping, casinos, condos, and hotels, we stumbled upon a Chihuly glass gallery where everything you see is for sale. Although not all pieces were labeled with a price... The selection was limited but I felt like there was more to see there than at the Tacoma Museum of Glass.


I don't know what the story is on this sculpture made out of canoes, but it is between the Aria and Vdara hotels.
After a bit of unsuccessful gambling we headed over to Murphy's Law (a locals bar) for Sunday night Trivia with a couple of Dave and Lindsey's friends. We won first place! It was a lot of fun, and seemed much easier than the Portland trivia I've done. It made me feel smarter. There were also a trio of very drunk guys there that when they weren't being disruptive would says some entertainingly random stuff (e.g. "Why don't you hit on the blonde? You've been warming her up all night like a chicken pot pie."). Good times. Oh, and I also got some laundry done today- that was important.

Tomorrow: More sightseeing on the strip and a Cirque du Soleil show!
