Another reason we went there was to peek at the Disney Character Warehouse!
I look like a billboard cut out here 
They have the same kind of store in Orlando where they sell park merchandise (they sell
Disneyland stuff at this one) for a so-called bargain price. It’s really hit or miss at both these stores but I was still in my happy place with Disney stuff!
I found a nice Grumpy Sweatshirt (that I use for a fall jacket LOL!) for $30 so I was happy!
There was a Chili’s in the strip mall so we decided to eat there. It was a good choice, good food at a decent price!
Rob had the chipotle chicken tenders (too spicy for him but I did warn him!) and I had…
…any guesses??
I know! I am so predictable, right?
I had the cheeseburger!
Not as good as the Kobe burger but it was good and there was no pink in the middle!
Lunch was $26 plus tip, not too shabby at all!
Rob loved the corn so much that he ordered a second one!
Back to the hotel to veg out again. I was starting to feel human again but I was in no condition to dress up and wear heels tonight to see Mystere.
I had a nice skirt and blouse I was going to wear but after seeing that only a very small percentage of people who attended the shows actually dressed up, I figured I wouldn’t stick out too much in some black pants and a t-shirt. Plus my feet were begging me to put those Uggs on LOL!
We found that most people wore shorts/jeans and a tee to the shows, which sounded very tempting to us that night, so that’s what we did.
We drove to the Mirage and self parked there because that’s where we would be eating later on. We hopped on the monorail to Treasure Island and picked up our tickets at the Mystere box office.
We had about an hour and a half to kill before the show and Rob was hungry again so we found Canters Deli for him and he got some foodage. I seriously don’t know where that man puts it all!
Fruit salad, apple pie and some chocolate mini-croissants. Can't find the receipt so I have no idea how much this was?
I asked him if he minded if I went to play some blackjack if I could find a $5 table and he told me to have fun.
And have fun is exactly what I did!
There were several $5 tables open so I picked one with a dealer named Ken (thought it was good luck since I have a brother named Ken!) and changed $60 into chips. This was an awesome table with lots of fun people!
I played for about 20 minutes before my first blackjack, and just as it Ken laid the ace down, I looked around and there was Rob hahaha! My good luck charm! I gave Rob the half dollar to keep (he’s a bit of a coin collector) and continued to play for a bit. I was having tons of fun, hit a little bit of a winning streak but time was ticking away and we had to go. Even after giving Ken about $25 in tips over an hour or more, I cashed out with $85 so I was all happy!
My winnings!
Down to the Mystere theatre we go…
It was a really great theatre and we had really great seats, front row, centre!
We both
LOVED this show! It was absolutely everything a Cirque show should be. It was funny, amazing, weird, full of talented dancers, singers and actors and had tons of great acrobatics and amazing feats of strength!
If there is one show we would recommend seeing, it would be this one! If you get the chance, do it, you won’t be sorry!
Back to the Mirage, we headed for California Pizza Kitchen.
A few years ago when Rob and I flew to California, we had a stop-over in Phoenix and discovered CPK. It was some of the best pizza we have ever tasted! So when I found out they were in Vegas too, it was put on the list of must do’s!
The restaurant was a little weird. It is located next to the sportsbook and is open to the Casino all around, no walls, except into the kitchen, you could people watch as you ate.
We ordered some pizzas and then they brought us some bread. This was the first place so far to serve bread. It was a nice touch but I didn’t really enjoy it.
Finally, our pizzas came!!!! They were both soooo good! The ham (actually it was Canadian bacon. and would you believe Rob didn’t know what Canadian bacon was???!!!
) on Rob’s pizza was sooo delicious!!!! I kept picking it off and eating it. I’ve been doing that to his pizza for 13 years now, good thing he loves me!
Rob loves their crust and well, he’s been eating my pizza crust for 13 years so I think we are about even. He ate all of my crust and some of his too!
Hello ladies!
Bill was $35 + tip. Again, worth every penny!
With full tummies we headed back to the Luxor and watched Indy on the laptop for a bit before calling it a night.
Although the day started out kinda crappy, it ended really well and we had lots of fun!
however one day recently he said and I quote, "I'll deny saying it later, but I really do love Disney World!"That's some progress atleast! I can't believe how expensive food is in Vegas! I will have to keep that in my mind when we plan a trip there.
We used Harmon and 2 others I can't remember and we just got delayed so we just kept using the Strip. Thankfully the only really bad traffic day was that first day going to the Wynn. Every other time was manageable. 
Especially in heels 
Actually, the North Valet at Luxor was awesome because it was just around the corner from the East Tower elevators 
Nice to see you again! I've never been to Vegas and not sure if we ever will but it is fun reading about it. Our family (dh, ds13 & dd9) also love the Cirque shows and saw La Nouba in August in Orlando and just saw Kooza in Boston last weekend! Now that the kids are older we have graduated from the ice shows and Elmo shows and have been trying new things. Its' been a fun trip! Looking forward to reading more.
I am not gonna go into details, let’s just say I spent a whole lotta time in that lovely bathroom this morning. 
Why anyone would need to make a call at that particular point in time is beyond me. I’m sure my friends and family (and perhaps even the front desk) are thankful that I chose not to take advantage of the nearby amenity and decided not make any calls that morning. 
I found me some comfy sweats and a few other items and we also found a few things for Kira. Score!
.....
there Cass.
