Of course, we had to have a photo with the M&M guy!
We had a very yummy breakfast at the La Salsa Cantina - they had breakfast for $3.99. We had eggs, a tortilla, bacon, potatoes- it was great!
The Monte Carlo
The chandelier in the Monte Carlo - look at the people to get an idea of how huge this was!
Enjoying Starbucks and people watching...

Time to visit the Eiffel Tower

Inside the Bellagio
Bellagio Conservatory and Botanical Gardens
We ate lunch at the Aromi D'Italia Cafe located in the Miracle Mile Shops. The Miracle Mile Shops is a 1.2 mile long shopping mall. It is all enclosed but looks like you are outside. It was very, very cool!!
The Flamingo
Not sure which hotel this water feature was at...
The Bellagio Fountains were fantastic. The water was choreographed to music. They went off about every half an hour. We kept going to watch them because they were so cool.
Caesar's Palace
The Forum Shops at Caesar's Palace. They were like the Miracle Mile shops - felt like you were outside... Very cool!
Planet Hollywood with the Coloseum in the background
Me at Caesar's Palace - beautiful grounds!
We ate dinner at Noodles in the Bellagio on the recommendation of my niece, Jessica. It was fabulous!! Then we went outside for an evening performance of the fountains.

We went down to Treasure Island to watch the volcano show. We got there a little late so could not get a good view. It was still neat!
Then it was back to the MGM Grand to crash for the night. What a great day we had. The weather was perfect and we saw a LOT of things.
