San Diego to Vegas was straight shot through the
desert. Arrived at the Bellagio early
evening, checked in and ventured out to the strip. What happens in Vegas, stays in Vegas!! Next…

We had a drink in one of the Bellagio bars, and after a $21
glass of wine, we knew we had to go elsewhere!
We asked where to go for less expensive drinks and they said Planet
Hollywood. We watched the Fountain show
upon exiting the hotel, walked around and then hit Planet Hollywood for a bit,
and then Sin City Brewery in the really cool Miracle Mile Shops. Loved the ceilings of clouds – it really felt
like we were outside. We met a nice
couple, a Vegas native and his wife from San Diego, and chatted about different
places to go in Vegas.

The first full day in Vegas was all about being poolside at
the Bellagio. It was so nice to be in a
beautiful hotel after all the Comfort Inns, Quality Inns, Best Westerns and
Rodeway inns. We enjoyed a super hot day
in and out of the pool and some nice fun refreshing cocktails. Later we showered to go out for a nice meal
to cap off our luxury treat of the trip.
We had dinner at Sensi in the Bellagio, and it was fantastic! It offered Japanese, Italian and American
fare. The people seated next to us were
having the “tasting menu”, and it looked very interesting and they recommended
it, so that’s what we decided on. It was
a five course meal w/ wine pairing and one of the best meals we’ve ever
had. Everything was great, including the
oysters, scallops, fried calamari, steak, pork, etc. It ended with a delicious frozen cappucino
and sugar donuts. After dinner we hit
the town again and walked around. We
ended up at a piano bar and hung out for awhile and it turned into somewhat of
a late night.

We wanted to spend one more night in Vegas, but the room was $400+ for the extra night and we had already spent a lot of money there, so we decided to keep with the original plan and head to the Grand Canyon (South Rim), via the Hoover Dam.
