Las Vegas

We spent our last night of our trip in Las Vegas, staying at "The Signature at MGM Grand." The Signature is a three tower complex attached to the MGM Grand that is just a little nicer... We had a suite with a giant jacuzzi tub, and a king size bed, kitchen, living room, multiple tvs; it was great.

We ate at Wolfgang Puck Bar and Grill which was amazing. On the MGM Grand website, it is listed as casual dining, but I can tell you, there is nothing casual about the food.

Afterwards we saw Ka, a Cirque du Soleil show. I have to say, it was one of the best things I've ever seen in my life. Truly amazing. Most of the stuff the performers do, you wouldn't think possible. Ka only shows in Las Vegas, so probably you should buy an airplane ticket and get out there.

This morning, we spent a bunch of time at the Grand Pool, the outdoor water enjoyment complex at the MGM Grand. It was nice, but not the best aquatic experience of all time. Then we went and gambled a bit. I was pretty nervous about it... there is something intimidating about all the semi-drunk young people and slightly serious old people. So we played some slots and then a video blackjack game. We lost $11 bucks, but had a half hour of fun.

Finally, we hopped onto our Virgin American flight (interior is like a disco) and came back. Pictures will follow tomorrow as well as a little video. Fred: I really will make a little video this time!
