W's go West, TR Day 6 VEGAS

[RobynPrincess]

Day 6, Las Vegas


This morning we were up and moving by about 9am. Sy had found us somewhere to go for breakfast which was off the strip so we grabbed the car and headed to the Egg and I. There was no wait but the place was rammed. We were handed menus which were like newspapers, as expected everything either came with egg or had egg in it.





There was a little smiley/sad faced egg so we could get the attention of our server.





We ordered our food and then took a few pics while waiting.

Sy went for corned beef hash.





Jane had an omelette.





I went for a waffle.





The food was excellent. It was a bit of a mission getting the bill paid, there was a huge queue to pay at the exit with people taking forever to pay. Sy went to get in the car and get the air-con on


We decided to go for a wander round the Bellagio so we parked up and went inside. Lots of unaffordable shops. We knew we wanted to see the botanical gardens so we made our way there. I was underwhelmed. Don't get me wrong, it was lovely, I just expected more. I guess I thought there would be more to it than 1 room/area. Took all of 5 minutes to see it all.


Some pics.

We then went for more of a walk around the hotel.





Stopping at Jean Philippe for some cake and to see the world's largest chocolate fountain.

It was HARD trying to choose which cake, and we may have deliberated for quite some time... But eventually we went with Key Lime for Sy, Jane went for a Snickers and I went for my good old favourite, Mille-feuille.

We decided to go back to the hotel afterwards to have a swim, well us girls went for a swim while Sy went to the Mob museum (we weren't really bothered about going there so wanted to catch some rays instead).


Sy dropped us at the hotel and went off. We got changed and made our way to the pool.


It was breezy up there but beautiful blue skies with wispy clouds. We stayed there swimming, chilling and reading for a few hours.

Sy said he would only be gone about 1&1/2 - 2 hours so I was starting to panic 3 hours later (being overseas Sy's phone doesn't work).


We went back up to our rooms just as Sy appeared, good timing! Sy went for a quick dip while I started to wash my hair (yes, it takes that long). Once we were all showered and ready we headed back out for the evening.





We parked up at the Bellagio again as we wanted to watch the fountains. Grabbed a quick pic in the lobby.





The fountains were quite amazing, one of the best things about Vegas. I'm glad I saw them before World of Color or I might have been disappointed again

We went for a walk around Paris, I'm glad we decided against staying there, it felt a bit cheesy. Though that's probably the same for any hotel if you've been to the original that it's based on. We went into Bally's after and I didn't care for that hotel either. We walked up the strip a bit more looking for dinner, we were getting really hungry but not finding anywhere that looked nice without a huge wait, eventually we happened upon the Tilted Kilt, given that we had been to the Orlando one and had a great meal we decided to head inside. The staff were very uninterested in us, almost verging on miserable! We all agreed that our food was only okay, nothing special, and it was cold when it came out but by then we were so hungry we didn't complain and just ate it.


Some pics of us inside.

We walked back towards the Bellagio, we weren't quite ready for bed so we tried to go into a bar there called Hyde, however I had no ID so they wouldn't let us in BOOOO! Ah well. So instead we had to go back to the hotel.


We chilled in the hotel for a bit before heading to bed at about 11pm.

Shame Vegas isn't wowing you, but still at least you know now, and you can go somewhere else instead!
