My husband slept in and I had the breakfast buffet. I like Starbucks Pumpkin Spice Latte but am too cheap to get them very often. There was a Starbucks in the hotel so I got a PSL.
After a while we left and took a cab to the pier.
After staying up late the night before and being the last day in Las Vegas, it was going to be a low key day.
Breakfast at the Paris Le Village buffet:
Next up, the spa. It was cheaper than spas on the cruise ship no selling of products and you could use the whirlpool and the facilities all day long.
Room service for lunch:
Casino time then at Hexx’s sister lounge, Alexa-
Sangria flight and an appetizer.
After hanging out for a while and more casino time it was time for dinner and football.
End of the day.
The next morning, a final mimosa breakfast at Hexx, then flying across the country to be home, see my husband and Barry, who was our only dog at the time but would not be by himself much longer.
My husband left to catch his flight a little after 6 and I went back to sleep. After a while I got up and had breakfast at a restaurant at Paris. Mimosa and a crepe.
I spent some time at the huge pool.
Lunch at Hexx, another Philly cheese steak.
A/C time, checking in with my husband arriving safe and our dog at the time Barry was ok. Had a dinner reservation at Bouchon at the Venetian and rather than walk, I took the Deuce. Such a good idea. I had foil gras, escargot and a cheese plate. They brought me some deviled eggs for waiting for a server.
On the way back to the hotel , I stopped to watch the volcano at the Mirage. I had planned to go to the piano bar at the hotel, but when I got there it was closed for a private party.
It was my husband’s last day before he had to go back. We started with brunch at Hexx at the Paris. Mimosas for me, we split their cinnamon roll and we each had chicken and Waffles.
Next we went up the Eiffel Tower for some views.
We ventured out of Paris and walked to the Linq and their high roller Ferris wheel and more views.
We made our way back to the hotel, but stopped at the Flamingo. They had a Carlos and Charlies and we were ready for a drink, so…
Because my husband likes stand up I got tickets for Tom Green, I paid extra for VIP tickets, but the show was moved to s smaller room. It was my fault for not looking into Tom Green, but neither of us cared for the show, but we did like dinner at Toby Keiths. Including fried macaroni and cheese, philly cheese steak sandwich and fried twinkies.
Had breakfast at Hash House a go go. Much bigger than the picture.
Next I went to the Secret Garden, the dolphins were my favorite.
Lunch at LobsterMe, grilled cheese and lobster and cheese fries.
Hanging out at Paris, drinking and gambling and people watching. Then dinner at Paris restaurant 3 course special for $40, great for Las Vegas. French onion soup, steak and cheesecake.
Had a great time at the piano bar, then late night pizza.
We live in Florida. As east-coasters one thing I love about traveling on the West coast is football starts at 10.
For some reason we both woke up early. I had planned for us to have brunch at the Wicked Spoon in the Cosmopolitan hotel.
For someone reason my husband doesn’t drink at brunch, meanwhile I had their unlimited mimosa option. A lot of the food at the buffet is served in individual portions.
Now that it was after 10, my husband was eager to watch some football. We went to check out the pool first to see if they were having any football outside.
We decided to head back to the A/C and watched football, gambled and enjoyed some adult beverages.
I made reservations at Nine Fine Irishmen at the NY NY hotel. In Vegas it looks like everything is so close, but you end up walk-in and walking and walking…
We shared several appetizers for dinner. Baked Brie, sausages, fried Mac & cheese and fondue. It was all yummy and low in cholesterol. Plus they were showing the Packers on the big screen. My view was mostly blocked but I was enjoying the food so I was unconcerned.
We are cruise people and the trip to Vegas really proved it. My husband started a new job and could only take a few days off, so we were flying out together, he would stay for a few days and I would stay for a few extra days. We were staying at the Paris hotel
My plan after arrival was lunch at Beer Park, we got there and they said they were closing for a private party. We decided to go to Burger Brassiere at Ballys. Good, but like most of Vegas not cheap.
It was hot we went back to the A/C until it was time to leave for Ceasers and see Jerry Seinfeld.
He was at the Coliseum, we had good seats but were a little underwhelmed
We had reservations at Gordon Ramsay’s pub and it was right across from the Coliseum. I had their blueberry special drink, lobster rolls and my husband had sliders a and we shared some poutine.
