Day 21: More Las Vegas Strip

Started off the day having a nice chat with Lindsey the headed back to the strip for some gambling and more kitsch.


First was Excalibur because I was in the mood for some genuine cheesiness. I then proceeded to walk a large loop to the Tropicana, then MGM, and finally NY NY playing the slots all along the way.
The keepers were hanging out in the lion habitat, I thought this sleeping lioness had a funny look on its face. I didn't plan on doing much gambling at the MGM because I've never done well there before but I'm glad I did, I won $300!


I was planning on seeing the Beatles LOVE show and was excited to get a better seat with my new found wealth, but as has happened to me every single time I'm in Vegas, that show was unexpectedly dark that night. So I took Dave and Lindsey out to Canaletto, a fancy Italian place at the Venetian. It was a lovely meal, although they only had room at the bar.

After dinner I dragged them over the Wynn because they hadn't seen it yet and it has my favorite interiors of all the strip casinos. I especially love the giant lanterns. This photo is looking straight up at them from below.

The conservatory/indoor gardens were quite nice as well. I ended up staying on the strip and gambling into the wee hours (which is why I didn't post this that night). I managed to leave up money, but not by as much as I should have considering how much I won at the MGM. Anyway, I've definitely got that out of my system for a while.
