P.S. Did you get to eat a foot long hot dog???

You would bring up the foot long hot dog Richard - that's exactly what Don did! Urgh! He insisted on eating that monstrocity in the Harley Davidson Cafe and spent the next 24 hours.........well should we say - not feeling very well

We saw the 99 cent shrimp cocktail - but being a snob I insisted on the Bellagio's version!!

And that had to be my favourite meal/food - the Bellagio's dinner buffet - food was gorgeous - I seem to remember mussels, prawns, crabs legs, beef, chinese food, orchards of salads, - divine pasta and chocolate cake to die for - mmmmmmm. As if I could forget I had my very first Margarita - oh what an experience - how yummy that was!!

Oh Ramanth - we stayed at Circus Circus too - but next time I'd love to stay at The Mirage or Treasure Island - if not the Bellagio!!

No Sandra not our first USA trip - we've visited New York and of course about 3 trips to Chicago to visit with Diane and Jason.

We always find the people of America very friendly and eager to help - the interesting conversations I've had in lifts - sorry elevators - is amazing! I wish some British workers could be as friendly and helpful as their American counterparts. Waiters/waitresses, shop clerks - are always friendly and eager to find whatever your searching for. The guys at the bell desk couldn't do enough to help - even drawing maps for us!

I got an Eeyore piggy-bank for my Birthday so I'm saving up for our next visit!!! (2010?!! )

It's called Zoomanity and it's an awesome show!! I saw it last year when I went to Vegas for my seminar.

Lynne,

Welcome back! I'm glad you had such a wonderful time and got to see your daughter! Pictures please!!!

Living in good ol Nevada, I get to poke around Vegas at least once a year if not more being since I can just hop in my car and drive there Worth the 7 hr trip I tell you what! I'm glad you had fun and that people treated you nice!!! Nevada exists on people coming from all over the world to see it...not so much up north where I'm from though...and hospitality is the norm. Once in Vegas, this cocktail watress was rude *we were at the star trek hilton thingy* and the casino MANAGER came and personally apologised, baught us drinks, gave us a dinner and a free ticket to the ride!!! Hows that for nice!

I hope you come back, cause when you do there will be even more new things to see!!! *They build stuff ALL the time* Maybe I'll be working there, It would be neat to meet another PTer!

Isn't their buffet AMAZING!?! I'm not much of a buffet person, but that is one I could handle

Glad you guys had fun! It is definatly a place you have to see to believe!!

[Miss Meow]

Welcome back!

Sounds like you had a great time (apart from the hot dog thing ). You could probably spend three months there and still not see everything!

[carole]

Oh Lynne, your trip sounded so fab, nothing like being in the entertainment capital of the world, My sister and hubby went there this year and had a ball, me I have changed buses in vegas, but never had the pleasure of staying there, oh I wish, and to see Sandra Bullock, lucky you, she is one of my favourtie actors., must see that movie when it comes out.

Welcome back to reality dear, and PT.

[anna_66]

Goodness it sounds like you had a fabulous time!!

I can just imagine how surprised Don was when he found out you were going to Vegas

Glad to hear you had fun!

Oh, sounds like you had a lot of fun! I think Don will never ever trust you organizing the trips, but I am sure, he loved the surprise.
