Vegas baby…

We met up with Carol and Dave who are out in LV for a week. It was a fun change of pace from our National Park experiences.
The streets were packed with spring breakers and vacationers. We also encountered Elvis, Michael Jackson, Woody from Toy Story, Mickey Mouse, a pot belly guy in a G-string and sequined bra, and the silver statue people that are everywhere (Edward Scissors Hands version was new), some others too who were just not quite as memorable. There were some talented musicians and some really coordinated bar tenders who were balancing glasses, juggling fire, and making fancy pours. All around, there is great people watching on the strip.
Treasure Island switched their pirate battle to a “Sirens Song”. Essentially just added scantily clad girls gyrating to the cannon battle. Might have been a little awkward for folks who had brought their kids to the show but we enjoyed it. We caught the end of the Bellagio fountain show too.
Kent passed up the chance to gather those street dealt trading cards. You know, the ones that there are handed out by all the bored-faced T-shirt clad hawkers on every corner. He could have had a pretty big deck! Oh well, maybe next time.

Dinner at KGB…(Kelly’s Gourmet Burgers) and a couple Ghirardelli super sundaes for desert.
KGB was a fun place to eat. We never quite figured out the theme of the décor or the waitress outfits. It was sort of minimalist military or something. The food was great. We sampled fried pickles, spicy oil sautéed peppers (a little kick but yummy), lamb burger, bacon BBQ burger, and a veggie burger so we got a pretty good cross section of their offering. A place to go again sometime. The sundaes of course were fantastic just as one would expect.
