Vegas Trip

Or on Blogger (HA!)

If you go, be sure to eat at the Peppermill on the North end of the Strip.

The decor is a little tacky, yes.
Definitely vintage Vegas.
Apparently CSI and the movie, Casino, were filmed here.

The food is great,
and the portions are HUGE

There had to be at least 8 eggs in that omelet, not kidding.
Good thing we decided to share.
Most people in that restaurant weren't sharing, thus the obesity problem,
but I'm not going to tell them what they can and can't eat.
Free country (at least for the time being.)

The dining experience pretty much went downhill from there.

We stayed at the Wynn, which is always fabulous.
Wouldn't stay anywhere else.
The food, however, is ridiculously overpriced
(but what place isn't in Vegas??)

Luckily, we had a resort credit that came with our stay.
For breakfast one morning, we ate here.

And, these were our choices

I can get 6 bagels at Trader Joe's for $2.29.
And, 3 Denny's Grand Slams for their $12 "Eggs Your Way".
But, I'm on vacation.
Don't care... total waste of money.

Yes, this was a $12 Frittata.
And we shared it.
Like I said, ridiculous.

Anyone who thinks Vegas still has cheap food
because people gamble are sadly mistaken.

Besides the fact that this is the dirtiest McDonalds I have EVER been to,

they charge $8.99 for their Big Mac combo.
Something tells me that Big Mac is not made with Kobe beef,
so I don't know where they get off charging that.
It's the one by Harrah's.
Don't say I didn't warn you.
Gross. Dirty. Disgusting.

Let me talk about something positive.

FAB.U.LOUS.
Worth every penny of the $2/minute ticket price.

Although some of the patrons were none too pleased
when the ushers said the concert was only 90 minutes.

No, you weren't allowed to take pictures.
"Celine's rules" the usher said.
(Celine doesn't want to end up on Facebook.)

I highly recommend it as a "once in a lifetime" kind of thing.
Don't buy a t-shirt though.
They are $55.
Her favorite number is 5,
so I guess Caesar's thinks that justifies the price.
Whatever.
Not that I was even going to buy a t-shirt,
but I thought it was absurd.
Would I go again?
Yes. Definitely. Yes.
IF I can be guaranteed she would sing this

Because she didn't, and I wanted to cry.
I don't want to say too much about the show
because I don't want to ruin it.

If you like her, you will love it.
If you don't like her, go stand outside and watch
Sirens of Treasure Island.
It's stupid, but at least it's free.



Next time we go to Vegas will be when we visit the Grand Canyon West Rim Skywalk.
(And when Harry Reid gets voted out of office.)
And, we'll stay at the Wynn.
Again.
And lounge at their fantastic pools.
Again.





And pay insane prices for food.
Again.
And complain about it.
Again.

Tomorrow... Ohno, The Olympics are Coming
