For a short time, the Cosmopolitan has an art installation called “Lucky Cat”. You meet Lucky Cat, you touch his paw for luck, and you receive your fortune. Some fortunes come with a prize – mine was ten dollars in slot play. My fortune was “Make the most of what you’re given”. That is great advice for anyone.
The Wicked Spoon is one of the best buffets in Las Vegas. They do things a little different here. Most of the items on the buffet are cooked in individual servings in small pots or containers. Most yummy!
I went to the Level 107 Lounge to get a drink, partake of the half priced appetizers, see DJ Girl 6, and photograph the nighttime view of the Vegas Strip from the Observation Deck. Overall, a very chill night. 🙂
I was thrilled to find out that Frankie Moreno still had his show in Vegas. If you are nearby, you have until Saturday night to catch him. After that, he is on to bigger and better things. He can sing, dance, play the guitar, play the harmonica, crush the piano, get the crowd involved, pass out free bottles of champagne, and flat out entertain like no other Vegas performer.
I had to use my final week of vacation at work or lose the vacation time on January 1st. I searched for a place of interest, and couldn’t beat the prices offered in Las Vegas. My first stop was the Wynn. One of my favorite hang-outs in Vegas.
If you are interested, this video from the Electric Daisy Carnival (EDC) in Las Vegas in June of 2014 will give you a good idea of what it is like to see the Bassjackers perform live. Be careful, because it is rated R for language. The following quote is from the description on YouTube.
“On Friday, June 20, 2014 Bassjackers had the honor of closing the MainStage of the infamous Electric Daisy Carnival festival in Las Vegas Nevada. It is also called the sunrise set, as the show starts in darkness and ends with the bright sun rising over the horizon.”
The Bassjackers’ podcasts can be found on iTunes or here on their YouTube channel. I highly recommend the podcasts to help get you moving on those cold Winter days. 🙂
I find myself back at the Las Vegas Airport again. It is time for this awesome vacation to come to an end. I had fun in Montana and Nevada, and plan to visit both states again sometime. For now, it is back to Austin.
The Cosmopolitan is still my favorite Las Vegas Casino. Here is a view from across the Fountains of Bellagio.
Tonight, I took a ride on the High Roller , currently the world’s tallest observation wheel at 550 feet tall. There were some great views of the city throughout the thirty minute ride. What fun!
I had dinner at the Mirage tonight, and then walked outside to see the Volcano Show. The food was perfect, and the show was great.
