Vegas - Saturday

Today, we headed over to the Paris hotel again and had lunch at Mon Ami Gabi, the restaurant at the base of the Eiffel tower. It was REALLY good. I had a ham and cheese crepe, and Grant had a Croque Monsieur.

After that, we drove to the Venetian, and then walked over to look at the brand new Pallazzo; its grand opening was today. The lobby was beautiful, very bright with a towering waterfall. Afterwards, we walked over to the Wynn, and then across the street to the Fashion Show Mall. Macy's was having a clearance, I had a gift card from one of my students, and I ended up buying two cute skirts for work.

Next, we walked to Treasure Island and then crossed back to the Venetian, where we saw "Phantom of the Opera." I must say, this production is amazing! Every performer in the cast was top notch. The theater, which was built for the production, is perfect in every way, with special effects and immersive seating and sound. Our seats were in the front of the balcony, which was a nice perspective because we could see everythign that was going on. A GREAT show!

After the show, we went to dinner at "Grand Lux," which is owned by Cheesecake Factory, but with a more International flare. I had these amazing Asian Nachos, which were fried won tons with cheese, peanut sauce, chili sauce, and a creamy wasabi sauce. Oh my god, they were SO GOOD!
