Las Vegas: Day Three

 April 2, 2013

We woke up to beautiful blue skies!  We enjoyed a very yummy breakfast at the Rainforest Cafe in the MGM Grand - I had their belgian waffle with fresh fruit - so very, very good!

The Las Vegas Monorail - stopped right behind our hotel.  We rode it part way down the strip to where we had ended yesterday.



The Mirage has some gorgeous landscaping













Visiting The Venetian was a lot of fun!







The shopping mall at The Venetian was all inside but made to look like you are outside in Venice...  pretty cool!


Tracy with Zoltar (from the movie "Big")









Next we went to Treasure Island





We walked down to The Stratosphere and rode to the top.  Quite a view!










The "Lion" at our MGM Grand hotel - it is huge!!





New York New York Hotel & Casino (you can see the roller coaster in front of the hotel)

Excaliber Hotel & Casino




Luxor Hotel & Casino












Our hotel lit up at night


New York "skyline" with the roller coaster at the top of the hill






We had dinner at the MGM Grand Buffet - it was pretty good, but not as great as I expected.  I did like the desserts because they had "mini" desserts so you could try alot of different kinds... yum!

Then we decided to try our luck at the slot machines... it was very fun but we didn't win much!  But that was okay - it was entertaining evening!
