Ooh, I love the Venetian! For non-gambling, you really can spend a long time wandering around the casinos looking at the craziness. Especially Bellagio, Venetian, Paris, New York New York. There's a lot of shopping at Caesar's. Also many ridiculous free shows to look at.
Anya: We should drop a piano on her. It always works for that creepy cartoon rabbit when he's running from that nice man with the speech impediment. Giles: Yes, or perhaps we could paint a convincing fake tunnel on the side of a mountain.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Congratulations Robin! That's wonderful news!
Any suggestions on cheapish things to do (I really don't gamble).
The Conservatory at the Bellagio has a special exhibit right now. They recreated a train trip across the country. All the buildings and things are made from plants. It's supposed to be nifty. (And free.)
If you don't mind spending a few bucks, they also have a new Ansel Adams exhibition at their Gallery of Fine Art.

It's kind of cool, if weird.

"This bar smells like kerosene and stripper tears."
Ah. Thanks y'all. I didn't know they had free shows. I thought it was all Wayne Newton and Siegfried and Roy. Someone did tell me once that Vegas was one of the cheapest vacations they'd ever had.
The train ride sounds especially cool, and I know Mr. Jane loves to people watch. There will be another bartender from the bar there too, so I may take her shopping with me (The trip is a gift from Mr. Jane's boss for the bar's 10th anniversary for the bartenders who've been there since the very early days. I'm the only significant other who gets to go)

By "free shows" I don't mean like with show girls, but there's a weird anamatronic "mythology" thing at Ceasars, and the fountains at the Bellagio, and like that.
OK, also? Instead of vacuuming, I'm watching Match Game and the clue was "Whenever my wife snores, I put my blank in her mouth." I shit you not.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.
I just talked to Hec, and JZ is going home today, and in fact right about now.
YAY

I think I understand. I just thought it was all big production stuff or gambling. I'm not against gambling or anything I just get bored with it. Maybe if I knew how to play craps or something really involved, but I don't so it's blackjack or slots both of which make me itchy.

Glad JZ gets to go home. #1 it's home and #2 it means things must be better.
I'm off to grab some white shirts, silver shoes and a bathing suit cover up. Vegas Baby!

Oh! There is a free show with showgirls at the Rio. (I learned this the hard way on my morning Coffee Bean run.) I don't know what the schedule is (and they very unhelpfully don't have a schedule on the website) but it could be amusing. And also, free.
I can give you step by step directions on the easiest way to get there. (See above re: morning Coffee Bean run.) hee

They have a Coffee Bean in the Rio?
Feel like sending me the directions?
