maystoneSneaking onto Dar's computer for a minute just to say hi. Very busy day in a quite cool Las Vegas. I was glad I brought my jacket, and thinking at times that it would have been nice to have had a sweater on under, too. There's quite a wind out there; it followed us all the way from Ontario which made for a few interesting moments on the flight in. Mostly it was a great flight, though. Not very crowded so we all got to stretch out a bit.
Didn't sleep all that late. Had an amazing omelet in one of the hotel restaurants. Amazing omelet. Really. The hotel is lovely, our room is fantastic, Dar has already sworn that we're buying a couple of these beds because . . . most comfortable sleep ever. We checked in very late, after midnight. Tonight we discover that the big Treasure Island pirate production number takes place underneath our window. Well 36 floors down, but still underneath. Loud, flashy, and there are fireworks. Yay! Seriously, it's the only downside to the experience so far. We have two more shows to get through and the the rest of the night is ours.
Met up with the shindiggers early in the afternoon and headed over to the Las Vegas Hilton to do The Star Trek Experience. Ate at Quark's Place and came face-to-face with a killer drink known as a Warp Breach. There will be pictures, I swear. Also were visited by a Ferengi, and Dar got into a tussle with a female Klingon. It ended in a draw. (Lucky for the Klingon.) Some went on to do the "ride" while the rest of us explored the casino. I lost continually, but one of our crew won over $100!
We made it to Bellagio in time to see the dancing fountain show which was lovely but chilly. Dar and I walked back to our place after that while the young'uns continued their carousing ways. We'll meet up again tomorrow to do some shopping.
And the pirate show is gearing up again. Time to put my earphones back on and chill to some Etta James for the next 20 minutes or so. Tomorrow shopping, and Dar and I try our hand at some gambling. Oy.
