The Finale Las Vegas: Part 8

So, it's our last day in Las Vegas. We leave tomorrow morning. I decide to get some breakfast (Starbucks, of course, just like at home) and then decide to change and head out to the pool. T & E went for some casino time downstairs. There is no place in the world where I enjoy laying out at the pool more than in Las Vegas, Nevada.
After laying out for an hour or so I went back to the room to shower and get ready for the day. About the time I was ready to go the gang was back and we set off. We knew we wanted to see a show, but we were having a really hard time deciding just want we wanted to see. I really just wanted to leave it all up to Toni because I have seen a handful of Vegas shows already. We walked down the street in the BLISTERING heat to one of those "half price show ticket" places to see what they had available for that day. We really were not impressed with anything that was left, so we caught the Deuce and decide to head into Caesar's Palace and hit up a few places that we had yet to see.

I think that Caesar's has some of the best shopping in the world. It's not only so beautiful to walk around "The Palace" but the stores make you feel like you are a celebrity!


After lunch and a few hours of shopping we headed back to the hotel to make plans for our last night. T and I went downstairs to the concierges to see what they could do for us.  We finally settled on going to see the show "Absinthe" at Caesar's Palace. This show was quite spendy, but absolutely amazing. It takes place outside in a tent, so it's very intimate and every seats is a great seat. This show is not for the faint of heart, nor the easily offended.


After our show it was about 11 pm and it was time to head out to Chateau Night Club inside our next-door sister hotel The Paris. (Beautiful hotel and someday I WILL stay there.) 
    All ready to GO!

The Chateau is a beautiful club, but very small. And, if you don't mind $24 drinks it's a great place. The crowd was not the beautiful Las Vegas crowd you would expect, but the music was good and we were there to DANCE.


  Once we were done with drinks and dancing (my drink of choice was water since I am not into $24 drinks.... lol) we went into Bally's to find dinner. Who knew that dinner was so hard to find in Vegas after 1am? On the way there get to see the fountains at the Bellagio (another place I am dying to stay at).... Here is the best picture that I could get.
 This was taken on the bridge between Caesar's and back to Paris/Planet Hollywood. It is really hard to get close to the fountains unless you actually plan to catch a show and then wait there by the hotel or street to see it.
 The only place we found that we could eat was inside Bally's. For *I think* $20 we got two of these....
They were so yummy! You couldn't even taste the alcohol, so it was right up my alley. We ate Mexican food... listened to music and danced a little with our big blue drinks in the middle of Bally's Hotel and Casino. What a perfect way to end a Las Vegas trip.
Next, we wandered back to our hotel room and called it a night. The next morning we used our 24 hour dining pass and had breakfast at out hotel, Planet Hollywood before flagging down a taxi to take us to the airport. 
Las Vegas in my most favorite place to be. Ever. Even more so than Hawaii. There is just something so wonderful about being there and I cannot wait to go back.

Much ♥
