Wednesday February 25 Las Vegas

Marilyn’s positive thinking won 2 free tickets and the gift of a third for the Extreme Magic Show with Dirk Arthur with his rare collection of exotic wild cats. When Dirk poled the audience for where we were all from it seemed everyone was from Canada and he said we were ruining his “shtick”.

After the magic we proceeded to eat out in the exclusive Mason Marilyn’s in the RV at the Excalibur parking lot. Yes, she outdid herself with rice pasta and spaghetti. Mellowed by the cabernet sauvignon and conveyed by taxi to the Colosseum in Caesar’s Palace, we arrived in the nick of time to the Cher show. Yes, I know, tough life but someone has to do it.....hey...the magic show tickets were free. Cher out did herself once again with acrobatic dancers, amazing costumes and a voice that never disappoints.

After Cher we walked next door to the Bellagio Casino for drinks and dancing in Fontana’s bar. This location has a balcony which overlooks the Fountains of Bellagio. This musical water spectacle consists of more than 1,000 choreographed dancing fountains. Patsy finally found the awesome merino glass ceiling in the Bellagio lobby above a golden horse. We strolled into Bellagio’s conservatory and botanical gardens. Currently the theme there is the Chinese New Year, the Year of the Ox. Can you imagine at this late hour coming across an 18 foot tall Chinese God of Wealth and Fortune flanked on one side by three six foot tall giant pandas and on the other a fifteen foot long water buffalo. The buffalo alone was comprised of more than 10,000 living plants. Surprises in Vegas are just around every corner.
