  • The Flamingo

    March 5, 2019 in the United States ⋅ ⛅ 68 °F

    The Flamingo, right across the street, was our next stop. They really want us to know that Donnie and Marie are performing there. Their mural covers the entire building! Donnie and Marie was another show that I suggested seeing but, again, Kathy thought that it was too expensive. That's too bad because I think that we would have enjoyed this show.Read more

  • Flamingos

    March 5, 2019 in the United States ⋅ ⛅ 68 °F

    Not surprisingly, you can see real flamingos at the Flamingo resort. There's an open area at the center of the hotel that's home to a small flock of flamingos as well as some other animals.

  • Koi

    March 5, 2019 in the United States ⋅ ⛅ 70 °F

    The Flamingo's Wildlife Habitat has more than just flamingos. There are ponds with big koi swimming around. When we were there the fish were being fed, making them more active.

  • Turtles

    March 5, 2019 in the United States ⋅ ⛅ 70 °F

    Turtles are the some of animals you can see here. There's nothing big or dangerous. This seems more like a large garden than a small zoo, like I had expected. It's still very nice though!

  • Early Lunch

    March 5, 2019 in the United States ⋅ ⛅ 70 °F

    Kathy was starting to get a bit hungry so she decided to sit for a bit and finish her breakfast leftovers. I think that she's going to be happy to not have to carry that bag of food around with her anymore.Read more

  • The Falls

    March 5, 2019 in the United States ⋅ ⛅ 70 °F

    While Kathy finished off her breakfast, I wandered around to see what other surprises this garden had. I found this waterfall on the far side.

  • Feeding Time

    March 5, 2019 in the United States ⋅ ⛅ 70 °F

    By this time, some of the workers came in with buckets of food to feed the flamingos and other animals that lived here. After watching for a bit, we decided that we’ve seen enough and felt ready to go on to our next destination.Read more

  • ABC Stores

    March 5, 2019 in the United States ⋅ ⛅ 68 °F

    ABC is probably the place that we visit the most in Las Vegas. They have good stuff that we need for good prices. We’re always stopping here for water because, oddly, there doesn’t seem to be any water fountains here in Las Vegas.Read more

  • Finished Shopping

    March 5, 2019 in the United States ⋅ ⛅ 70 °F

    ABC Stores sell a lot more than just water. They also have a great selection of snack foods and drinks along with lots of Las Vegas souvenirs to pick from.

  • The Magic Show

    March 5, 2019 in the United States ⋅ ⛅ 70 °F

    While walking around the Miracle Mile Shops in the Planet Hollywood resort and casino we decided to take in the Nathan Burton Comedy Magic Show. I love magic and seeing it in a live show is always fun. Of course, no photos or videos are allowed during the live performances so the camera has to be put away for a while. Sorry!Read more

  • Time for Dinner

    March 5, 2019 in the United States

    The magic show was fantastic! After the performance we went back to our room for a rest and then went back downstairs to have dinner. We just got sandwiches, something simple. I like how everything here is made up to look like New York City but is this really how the rest of the world sees us? To me, this is more like New York City from a movie made in the 1940’s. It’s almost a caricature of what New York really is.Read more

  • Feeling Lucky?

    March 5, 2019 in the United States ⋅ ☁️ 64 °F

    After dinner, we walked around the casino in New York New York and tried our luck with a few of the games. We came out around even so while we didn’t win, we didn’t lose either. It was a fun night that didn’t cost us anything.Read more

  • Gloomy

    March 6, 2019 in the United States ⋅ 🌧 54 °F

    We woke up to a very gloomy and overcast day. These sorts of days are very unusual in Las Vegas as they usually enjoy bright and sunny weather. Will this change our plans for today?

  • Rain

    March 6, 2019 in the United States ⋅ 🌧 55 °F

    The gloomy day quickly turned into a rainy day. This surprised us since it almost never seems to rain in Las Vegas.

  • Let’s Play!

    March 6, 2019 in the United States ⋅ ⛅ 59 °F

    Rather than walk around the Las Vegas Strip in the rain, with no umbrella, we decided to have a restful day indoors at the casino. We wandered around the shops and enjoyed playing some of the table games.Read more

  • Time for Lunch

    March 6, 2019 in the United States ⋅ ☁️ 59 °F

    We decided to go to Le Village Buffet at Paris Las Vegas for lunch. There wasn’t a wait and the food was very tasteful and plentiful. I love eating at these Las Vegas buffets!

  • What a Mistake!

    March 6, 2019 in the United States ⋅ ☁️ 61 °F

    Although I’ve eaten at Le Village Buffet several times over the years, this time was a big mistake. Shortly after we finished eating I needed to get to the restroom very quickly because I wasn’t feeling well. Everything I ate came right out. I’m feeling awful! Right now, I just want to go back to our room and rest.Read more

  • We’re Back!

    March 6, 2019 in the United States ⋅ ☁️ 57 °F

    We were, thankfully, able to make it back to the hotel without any incidents of suddenly needing the restroom. Right now I feel like I just want to go to our room and take a nap. Hopefully I’ll feel better after a little rest.Read more
