Day 7- That's So Money

Day two of Vegas, we walked down to the MGM, for no apparent reason, then walked back up and literally just crash in the room all day. We ate lunch in the Eiffel Tower restaurant, then saw the Cirque du Soleil show, Beatles Love. It was the weirdest thing I think I've seen, it was like dancing, and guysing doing like 180's in a stiff swing, and like roller blading, totally weird, but at the same time beautiful.

New York, New York, a city so nice they named it twice, the other name being Manhattan. Hah, gotta love The Office.

Fish tank in MGM.

Which of these things in not like the others?

Striped Fish!

Lion!

It's on top of us!

And it's eating a bone!


I would not want to be that guy.

Fake lion!

NY, NY

Paris.

I'm totally thrilled with the composition of this picture. The glass in pure focus and the Paris balloon in the background not. Love it.

Views from the Eiffle tower restaurant.

Yes, it took me to day 2 to take pics inside the hotel:





Cesar's Palace. We must have walked by it like 50 times.

Love!



The following are taken inside the theatre. I just had to put up all of the pics because there was this Nazi lady who was like yelling at everyone, including myself, not to take pics, and these are all the ones I took behind that bitch's back. Suck it!:

Before the show:




Then there was this weird technical delay, we had to sit there and look at this for like 20 minutes, although they did play yellow submarine, and a video to go along with it, so that was pretty sweet:


They kept the Phanatic waiting.


At the conclusion of the show:




My shoes on the colorful floor.

Day 6- I Blue Myself

The first full day in Vegas, we did a lot of walking.  We walked up to the Venetian, to see about Blue Man Group Tickets and to go to Madame Tussauds (pictures below).  We got tickets for that night's show, and got free Madame Tussaud tickets in the process, so double-y awesome.  Then We walked over to the Mirage, to check out the Beatles Love store, and ended up getting tickets for the next night for the show.  Then, we walked back to the Paris, where we stayed, and show the fountain show in front of the Bellagio.  We chilled in the room a while, then walked over the the Venetian and ate at Wolfgang Puck's restaurant in there, then saw the show.  Let me just say, that is was pretty freaking awesome.  If you're in Vegas, you should totally go see them.  They start out by giving everyone paper, to decorate yourself with, to get you into the mood of the evening, then there is some funny stuff on the prompter, and then the show starts with a combination of like comedy, performance art, prop comedy, music, and a science lesson type deal.  All I can say is that I would totally see them again.

The Phanatic is excited to see the Blue Man Group!

"So what do you do Fred?"
"Oh I just get walked around on a leash all day by a guy on stilts"
"I guess that's better than being a statue"

Madame Tussauds:
The Phanatic has a thing for the ladies...

He especially loves JLO's ASSet.
