After the Botanical Gardens at the Bellagio, we walked down the hallway to the worlds largest chocolate.
It's 27 feet long and circulates 2 ton of chocolate.
At this point, we were TIRED of walking. We needed to go back to our hotel to get ready to go to The Lion King. We gave ourselves plenty of time to ride the bus back (which at this point, we had already grown to hate), rest a bit, get dressed up and head out. Unfortunately, that is NOT how it went down. The bus was taking forever to come, so we took a different bus that was suppose to stop close to our hotel. We didn't get off where we were suppose to (because it wasn't clear to us on the sign or by the driver), so we ended up riding way longer than we needed to and did the loop back. It through off our whole schedule. Here is us showing how we are OVER the Deuce.
We had to hurry and get ready and get back on the bus. Of course, it took for-ev-er for the bus to come. We made it a few stops and had to get off and take a taxi. You have to pick up your tickets an hour before every show and we would not have made it if we had stayed on the bus. So annoying.
The Lion King was showing at the Mandalay Bay. We had just enough time to grab something to eat. We chose a cafe in the hotel. We ended up getting breakfast for dinner and it was so good. I got coconut pancakes that came with some sort of mango butter stuff that was so yummy!
Us... before the show.
We tried taking my picture in front of a lot of the signs, but we were having some lighting issues.
This is the best we could do.
We both really enjoyed The Lion King as well. Two shows... two home runs!
They definitely helped make the trip.
Me... waiting for the Deuce again. I'm only smiling because I just got done watching the awesome show.
On Wednesday we decided to explore our own hotel. We hadn't really done so yet.
First, we had lunch at Roxy's. Michael's best friend Phil had recommended he get a Stratosphere shake there, so that's just what he did.
Then we went up to the top. That was one of the perks of staying there--you could go up for free.
The strip.
Michael took tons of pictures. Here's a cool one of the mountains.
You could go on a few rides at the top of the Stratosphere as well. Crazy if you ask me.
Here's one going on while we were in the observation deck.
Next we headed back to the Bellagio.
We missed the fountains the day before because we were tired and needed to get back to our hotel in order to get ready for the evenings show. I am so glad we went back, because the fountains are awesome.
From there we went to the Mirage.
We relaxed on an outdoor patio for a while. We were wanting to check out the white tigers, but I didn't realize it was $15 a person. We decided it wasn't that important to us. We had dinner, got some dessert to go, and headed back to our place.
We chilled for a little bit and then went to check out the view from the top at night.
There was a bar up there that had some cool looking lights you had to walk through as your circled the top.
That's it! We had many more pictures, but those are the highlights.
We also went into the Paris casino and saw the Eiffel tower, and checked out Circus Circus. Somehow I didn't get pictures of those. Neither was all that impressive, so maybe that's why.
