yes, i'm deprived. for the first time in my life (aside from the airport) i went to las vegas this last weekend. mostly it was to see celine dion's 'a new day' (second row. almost dead center. wow.) but we stopped by pretty much everywhere else too. we watched the dancing waters at the bellagio from the top of paris' eiffel tower (which doesn't really compare to the original, but it's still pretty cool), saw the lionesses as the mgm grand, the nyfd tribute at new york new york...and pretty much all of the pavement between the hotels. it's amazing how *huge* the hotels are - you think 'oh, it's just two hotels down,' but that's like 10 normal city blocks.
i still want to see chihuly's chandelier at the bellagio (i completely forgot about it) and the ti show (don't ask. we kept missing it) and all the cirque de soleil shows (particularly 'o'). so, i guess that means another trip some other time. maybe this time we'll stay a little more central on the strip.
oh, and shopping. of course we found the ross that was having a grand opening (two skirts and a pink and black abstract scarf) and banana republic that was having a sale (a beautiful gray and white leopard-print scarf). didn't find any shoes, though. don't know what i'm going to do for the basie ball yet. (sigh.)
in the end: a great weekend.
