We woke up this morning around 11, took a shower and had a quick snack for breakfast.
Then we walked through the MGM Grand to the Tickets 4 Tonite booth next to the Coke Bottle to see if they had half price tickets to the Phantom of the Opera for tonight (they didn't). Next, we walked to the Hawaiian Marketplace to the Tix 2 Nite booth to see if they had tickets. They did, but were only 30% off and you didn't know what seats you had until you went to the box office at the Venetian. We just figured that next time we come we will see Phantom.
After that we walked back to MGM Grand and had lunch at McDonalds.
After lunch, we went to the MGM Grand Pool Complex. The pool complex consists of 5 pool, numerous waterfalls and a lazy river. We were specifically interested in the lazy river.
We spent over an hour in the lazy river and must have gone around 5 or 6 times.
After our jaunt in the lazy river, we relaxed on our lounger chairs. Bobbi read and I rested.
Around 4 PM we came back up to our suite and showered to get ready for the evening's events.
We drove to the Mirage and got our tickets to the Cirque Du Soleil show, Love, which consists entirely of Beatles music.
After we got our tickets, we ate dinner at Cravings, the buffet at the Mirage. It was good and was recently redone to be more fancy with different "stations". The highlights included king crab legs, sushi, and gelato.
After dinner we watched the volcano erupt in front of the Mirage.
Next, we gambled for an hour or so. Unfortunately we both lost.
After that we made our way to the theatre to see Love.
Love was lots of fun and it was neat because I knew almost all of the music. The show had spectacular special effects, and each individual seat had speakers built in at ear level so the sound appeared to come from all around.
The show got out around 11:30 and we made our way back to our hotel! That's all for our day.

Las Vegas - Bobbi Jo
Grant and I are in Vegas celebrating our 2 year anniversary - a week late, true, but who cares? We're together!
We flew in on Jet Blue out of Long Beach - and its a small world - a teacher from my school was also on the plane!
Our rental car is a Toyota Highlander - the SUV was less expensive then the car! It is pretty nice.
We are staying at the MGM Signature, which is the residence/condo towers behind the MGM complex (where the theme park used to be!) We had some trouble when we first got here - the people who were in our room before us had not checked out yet! SO the had to get a hold of the owner, check out the room (which still had bags in it), try to find the people who were in there and clean it...
So we went to the Las Vegas Hilton and had dinner at Quark's (Grant had Ahi and I had a French Dip). Then we went to Walmart Super Center to get some groceries before coming back and finally getting to our room.
Our room is nice - it is a studio - essentially like a larger hotel room, but with a kitchenette (mini fridge, microwave, and two burner stove, sink...) a sitting area with a couch/bed, and s whirlpool bath tub in the bathroom. Our room has a great view of the MGM Grand Pool complex.
Here at the Residence, we get to use the MGM facilities, including their pool complex, which for those of you who may not remember, includes a lazy river! SO, we weill be spending a lot of time in that river tomorrow!
