Tim and I woke up a little later yesterday morning and got ready to hit the strip. A leisurely walk up to Paris rewarded us with crepes for breakfast. Then we kept moving up the strip checking out the various hotels. Tim's favorite is by far Caesar's and he's already vowed that we'll stay there next time.
We managed to catch the first fountain show at the Bellagio at noon. It was patriotic themed for the holiday. We also won a few bucks here and there on slots. I love the fishy games!!!
In pure Vegas fashion we each got drinks. Tim tackled 2 beers while I purchased an obnoxiously large glass of blueberry lemonade with double shot of vodka. After all that alcohol it was definitely time for lunch. We had noodles from an asian restaurant by the sports book in the Venetian.
A bit more walking and a bit more gambling and we headed off the strip a block for dinner at Battista's. It's a little hole in the wall place but it's good food, good atmosphere, and house wine is included. With our bellies full we practically ran (bad idea after all that food) to Treasure Island to see the Sirens show. Then back towards the Mirage to see the volcano erupt.
We had plans to meet up with Tim's aunt and uncle again but the pedestrian traffic on the strip was insane and it took us almost an hour to get back to the hotel. So we called it a night, did our last bit of gambling (and lost), packed up the room and went to sleep.
We're up early this morning to make our way to the Grand Canyon for our last camping night.
