Day 11–Stratosphere and Mystere

Up at 7:00, Aryn slept until 8:00.  Breakfast at Paris – I wasn’t going to get the buffet pass again, but it’s within our budget and Aryn and I both want to eat at Paris again.  By getting it this morning, we’ll have breakfast tomorrow covered as well.

Our morning view of the mountains.

Breakfast started with Eggs Benedict, fingerling potatoes, Lyonnais potatoes, a creamy, sweet polenta, corned beef hash, bacon, and sourdough toast – there were some normal eggs on my plate by mistake that just got pushed around and ignored.

Smoked salmon and smoked trout were available, but I don’t care for fish, and I skipped the omelet station this morning in favor of some French toast and bacon … because I like that.  Aryn gave me a look because of the amount of bacon, so I got some fruit.

See?  Fruit.  It was a healthy breakfast.  I’m on vacation, stop judging me!

After breakfast we again stopped at the Tix4Tonight booth in Wild Bill’s near the Flamingo and got our tickets for Mystere tonight.  Tix4Tonight has saved me $190 this trip compared to the box office price – the only ticket we weren’t able to get through them was Celine Dion – and that because, well, Celine Dion doesn’t need to dump extra tickets on the market at a discount.

Then we walked down to Venetian, so Aryn could see it – did not take a $16/person gondola ride.

From Venetian we caught a cab to Stratosphere and went to the top of the tower, 1,000 feet over Las Vegas.  Aryn rode a couple of the rides there.

Finally, after a very long morning/early afternoon, we took a cab back to Ceaser’s to get Aryn a t-shirt from the Celine Dion show and then back to our room to rest.

Dinner at Paris, much the same as Saturday.  Then on to Mystere, which is classic Cirque – Ka was much more impressive, in my opinion.
