Vegas is Vegas .. a good time in Misc. Thoughts opinions, the whole trash can.

This is the Vegas trip. We stayed off the strip. At the Gold Coast, was near the RIO and the Palms. This hotel was recommended by the relatives friends. The Palms would have been better, but a room is a room is a room.

Wednesday afternoon:
Landed got the bags and took the shuttle to the rental car megaplex. Now to the Hotel. Checked in and lets figure a plan of attack. We walked about a mile to Caesars Palace and I said I have an idea. That’s scary.

We walked around the Caesars Palace complex. Now, the focal point is to get you into the Casino and leave a little cash. The Craps table is the only game, regardless of the Casino establishment, where you have an advantage.

If you have been to Caesar’s they have the Forum Shops complex. This is a replica of an old world Italian or Roman town. There are Fountains that have been replicated. The sky changes color due to and is co ordinated with the time of day.

Fountains and mock streets inside the forum shops

It’s Vegas…showboating, stimulation, restaurants and of course gaming. Three nights is enough for me.

We book a reservation to Il Mulino, an Italian restaurant. We have eaten there before it is top notch. That will be after the Hoover dam trip on Thursday.

Tables inside Il Mulino

We got to Paris Hotel/ casino for dinner Mon Ami Gabi…wow its major packed and we eat late. The ol rail isn’t as young as he used to was. (Yeah Grammar)

I did the Oysters..then Beef Steak Tartare… This waiter was from France or somewhere in Europe. “Sir.. Do you know this is diced rare meat?” “Yes I grew up with this … Lol but hey if ya don’t know…It could be a surprise. They had a beef shank dinner…:( and it was sold out!!! OH the horror..I am Traumatized NOT!!

Mirage Volcano

The Mirage volcano is all water sprays and natural gas flames. These flames are so intense and large, you can feel it. Even across Las Vegas Blvd. The you tube videos are not mine and I take no credit, but ya have to see it live. A cell phone camera does it no justice.
