Arizona Charlie’s Casino & RV Park, Las Vegas, NV:  Up early and back on the strip by 9:00 a.m.  It was fairly cool (90) and not too many people.  Probably because the bars aren’t open yet.  Guess they don’t open until 11:00 or so on Sunday.  Parked behind Excalibur and walked down to Luxor. Then took the tram back up to Excalibur and walked the rest of the way to Paris Casino.  Had lunch there at the Eiffel Tower Restaurant, 200 feet up with a beautiful view of Las Vegas.  We started out with a champagne cocktail which consisted of strawberries, raspberries, and blueberries soaked in vodka and then covered with icy champagne.  Served in a brandy-snifter-type glass.  Delicious!  For lunch I had parmesan encrusted chicken with vegetables and Mike had a lamb burger.  Then they served these pastry-type rolls which were delicious.  After lunch we walked back to New York New York and played some roulette.  Then back to our parking place and back home.  It’s so dry, my hair is all static.  I look like some scientific experiment or something. Only 99 today.  Tomorrow we leave for Joshua Tree National Park in California.

Arizona Charlie’s Casino & RV Park, Las Vegas, NV:  Had a relaxing morning and then left for Caesar’s Palace at 4:00.  Did valet parking and picked up our tickets for the Celine Dion show at The Colosseum and then had dinner at The Palm restaurant at Caesar’s.  A great dinner—really expensive.  After dinner we walked around all the high end shops—Dior, Fendi, Cartier, etc.  We decided Caesar’s is very upscale.  Played some slots and then headed to the Colosseum at 7:15.  We had great seats and the show was wonderful.  What a performer! She was accompanied by a 31-piece orchestra.  And the Colosseum itself was beautiful.  After the show we played some more slots and then went home.  As usual, Mike won.
