So, I just looked at the Blog. I realized that I only posted twice while we were in Vegas, and both were pictures of food. I have no explanation for that, other than maybe the only time I felt like posting was while sitting a table? To flesh out the trip a bit more - we had a great time. Weather was warm, but not sunny, so we didn't hang out by the pool. That was the only downside. But, it was great weather for walking around, and we did our fair share of that.
We hit the usual spots we like: The Palms, Caesar's Palace, Belagio, and also checked out the new Palazzo, which is an addition to The Venetian. It was very nice - understated, but elegant. We only gambled a bit there, then wandered on.
We spent the majority of our gambling time at Ellis Island, which is a tiny casino behind Bally's, where we stayed. It wasn't fancy at all, but was clean, had cheap food, *plentiful* beer - that they brew there, and the gambling was good. So, we abandoned the glitz of the strip and spent two nights at Ellis Island. Say what you will, but it was really fun. I mean - normally, at the bigger casinos, you are lucky to get one drink an hour when they are busy. I would say double that, at a minimum for Ellis Island. Plus, you get a pint of Micro Brew beer instead of a bottle, which was really nice.
My plane was late out of Vegas, so I didn't get home until 7:00. I'm off this afternoon for Fresno. I'm attending a management seminar tomorrow, so I'm spending the night, attending the class, then driving home after. Then, I'm home for a while.
Election day tomorrow - I've already voted, please make sure you do!
