We got to Vegas and check into the Monte Carlo. The hotel was nice. Our “strip view” room gave us a view of the back of New York, NY and the rollercoaster, which was cool but definitely not a strip view. We had showers to wash off the camping/travel grime and then set out to see what we could see. We walked the strip and got a “Yard dog” of daquiri. Dan got pina colada and something like turbo 190 (grain alcohol with citrusy stuff) with a shot of something in it and I got a combo of the 190 and hurricane. In retrospect we should have opted for a smaller size but usually things like that don’t really have alcohol in them. We walked the strip with our enormous drinks that we couldn’t even finish (well, maybe we could have but both of us would have been pretty drunk, and that wasn’t what we were looking for). We stopped at the Bellagio and saw the fountain display which is even cooler than I thought it would be. The song we saw was from Rodeo from Appalachian Spring, which is a song that I like a lot in the first place that was even cooler with a fountain performing in time to it.
We walked through a couple of the resorts and casinos. We saw the rainforest in the Mirage and tried to go see the Tigers and dolphins but had gotten there after it had closed. In our search for dinner we ended up at Hard Rock café where we had some delicious burgers. We then wandered through NYNY and headed back to the Monte Carlo. Our gambling experience consisted of two $1 plays at slot machines. The first was jaws and the second an actual one-armed bandit where you could pull the handle down (and bet less). That one was a lot more fun, needless to say we didn’t win anything.
