This was one of the more exciting days in Vegas. We started the day by changing our car from the little SUV that we used to get to the Grand Canyon for a more interesting Dodge Charger. We kept squealing the tires on it everywhere we went, even though it only had a 6-cylinder engine in it. It was a very “torque-y” car with just the right weight to it – really comfortable and easy and fun to drive for a mid-size car.
We drove the car off the strip to check out “The Orleans” casino and had lunch there. After that we went to the Mandalay Bay to see the Shark Reef Aquarium. On the way back to Luxor, Andrew bought some clothes for relatively cheap, and had fun with the staff there.
The big event of the day was heading over to the Bellagio to see “O”, the Circque de Soleil show. We roamed around the hotel for a while then went and enjoyed the superior buffet there. There was a whole bunch of Circque promotional stuff in that hotel – there were so many O’s I thought Oprah was going to pop out of somewhere at any minute. After eating we went directly to the O theatre and waited for the performance to begin.
The show was absolutely incredible. There was so much going on that you couldn’t keep up with all the activity. I’m sure you could have seen the show one or two more times without feeling like watching a re-run.
Then as we were leaving the Bellagio we lucked out and the Fountain show was just starting, so we caught that as well.
