Saturday morning we headed up to Fremont Street to check out the "original" strip. It was great seeing the old casinos and trying our luck up there.



We found our way to the Golden Nugget, a Vegas icon and I tried my luck on the Big One.



Unfortunately, my luck was bad. It was recommended to us to go to the Golden Gate casino for the shrimp cocktails. At home, we're used to three or four shrimp in a cocktail, not here! You get a sundae dish, those tall ice cream dishes, FULL of shrimp and cocktail sauce on top, like a big seafood sundae for $1.99!! We ate four!

After that feast, it was off to New York, New York where I was told I might find a good Irish bar.



Nine Fine Irishmen was a great place for a snack and a pint. Their penny slots sucked too.

The day wore on and soon it was time to head back to our hotel and prepare for The Divine Ms. M. I felt that it was important to look good for my "new" bride, so .....



The show was fantastic. The woman is 62 and she still performs like she was half that. Again, we were not allowed to take photos, you'll just have to go see for yourself.

On Sunday, we had lots of time before our flight left so we went to the Bellagio to see the Dale Chihuly glass works.

I have been a Chihuly fan for years but I've never seen anything like the Bellagio. This is just a sample of the many works on display.



The atrium was a wonderful oasis amid the hustle of the main lobby. It was cool and breezy and beautiful.



While heading out through the mall, Shelly spied one of her favourite shops, CHANEL! Now, there is no way I could afford anything in this store but the staff was happy to let Shelly pose with whatever she wanted. So here she is with a pink lambskin bag, ONLY $2695.00.



Well, I won't bore you any further. We had a wonderful time and I hope I gave my bride some memories to last a lifetime because she really deserves it.
