Viva Las Vegas

Las Vegas was so much fun! We’re not big gamblers, but we do love the great dining and entertainment.

On our first night in town we got last minute tickets to the show at the Wynn called Le Rêve. It was a great show in the Cirque du Soleil style, using water and aerial acrobatics. (It was produced by Franco Dragone who also produced various Cirque productions, including Mystére, one of my all-time favorites, and the Celine Dion production at Caesar’s.)

Day two was a bit laid back. We spent some time at the Shark Reef at Mandalay Bay and then had dinner at Sushi Roku at Caesar’s Forum Shops.

On day three, Les broke down and paid to have the RV washed. It had gotten really dirty and was making him crazy, but RV parks won’t let you wash your own coach in their parks. (Mobile RV wash people bring their own water and pressure washers, then give a kick-back to the resort.)

We had yummy pre-show appetizers at Stack at the Mirage and then saw the Danny Gans show. It was a good show and he is very talented, but we were too far back to really be able to enjoy the show (at one point I thought Les was going to fall asleep). My favorite joke was from his impersonation of Jeff Foxworthy: “If your wife says she’s ‘game’ and you shoot her, you might be a redneck.”

Our standard for a ‘good’ show is if we would pay to see it again. We would definitely pay to see Le Rêve again, but would pass on a second go at the Danny Gans show.

This morning we chose the Wynn for our traditional Eggs Benedict breakfast before leaving Las Vegas.

Tonight we’re boon docking in Mojave. Tomorrow Visalia.
