Vegas and Pushing Daisies, something I could be doing after Vegas

[bunchofgrapes]

Update to Vegas trip. We've narrowed down our list of things to do with a new addition. Last night one of my friends emailed us that Elton John is playing a concert in Las Vegas on the 5th. It's one night only, the really good seats are in the $$$ range and were we interested because she'd never seen him, always wanted to and was going with or without us. I love Sir Elton. He was my very first concert and since then I've seen him maybe 5 times. Even when he was at his pudgy and druggy worst, he still put on a great show. The guy is 60 now and he doesn't do the big concert tours any more so my reply was an enthusiastic "hell yes, I want to go"! My other friend also agreed and today I got an email saying she got the tickets. I'm so excited!

Anyway, here's what we have lined up so far--in addition to gambling and much consumption of alcohol.



Arrive Saturday: hit the spa at the Bellagio for manicures and pedicures, then Kahunaville
Sunday: the Sterling buffet at Bally's, Zumanity, get inked
Monday: Helicopter ride over Hoover Dam and the Grand Canyon, hit the spa again for massages, Elton John
Tuesday: Stripper 101, Binions for the chicken fried lobster, Fremont Street
Depart Wednesday. Right now my friend has us booked on an 8am flight out. After we gave her the "are you crazy" look, she said she'd work on changing it.



Also, I just watched Pushing Daisies and that one is definitely on my DVR list (I rarely make it home in time to actually watch shows that start at 8pm). Besides being absolutely amazing to see in HD, I love the characters and the idea. It's just...wow.

Freddy Mercury was just incredible. He had this bright red, yellow and orange feather jacket and did his thing for two hours in tight black jeans, tank top and Liberace type coat. I was eleven at the time, but it made my year.

Let me know what you think of Back to You when you see it. I'll be interested to hear your opinion of it.

Mmmm, food and Vegas, two of my fav things.

I'm a foodie and so are my Vegas friends. It's always about the food with us. This trip is as much about where and what we'll eat than the rest of the stuff.
