Vegas

Grant and I are back in Vegas for MLK Jr. weekend. It is the weekend after the primaries (Hillary took Nevada), and there is the Hannah Montana/Miley Cyrus Best of Both Worlds Tour at the MGM.

Grant drove out Thursday night, because we certainly did not want to sit in Friday traffic. He spent the night at the Planet Hollywood hotel, and said that the rooms were really big. I left school a bit early and caught a 4:00 flight out of LAX ( since I didn't have any luggage, I got there at 3 and zipped right through security.

Grant picked me up and we headed straight to Paris and had dinner at the Paris buffet. After dinner, we saw The Producers, starring Tony Danza. Grant had picked up half priced tickets to the show earlier that day. The show itself was very good. We were in the 2nd to last row and it didn't matter at all; the theater is small and cozy. The crowd itself was sort of dull; very little enthusiasm. At the end, though, one lady made up for it by standing up next to the stage during the final number and clapping with her hands high above her head. They didn't escort her back to her seat, however, until she went up and tried to have a conversation with the conductor, who was trying to lead the musicians in the curtain call. funny lady.

After the show, we went to Walmart and got some groceries. Then we went back to our hotel. We're staying at the MGM Signature again. This time, we are in tower 2, on the 25th floor. Our room faces the strip and we have a balcony, which is cool and slightly disorienting when you go out and look down. (o:
