Day Two: Sept. 12, 2011

Monday morning: We headed out to the the Belagio to see the conservatory and unfortunately, it was being reset for renovations so that was dissappointing but they have done a fantastic job at the displays in the entrance, check in areas and I was just there in May so it wasn't too dissappointing!




We wandered through the Cosmopolitan and he was impressed by the massive Chandaliers there. We then decied to head out to Raffles Cafe for lunch at Mandalay Bay from our hotel, the Paris. For lunch, I ordered the Shrimp Wraps and he had the Club House. My shrimp wrap was very tasty and more then adequate. His Delux Club Wrap was HUGE! It could have easily been shared! Once again, took advantage of the restaurant.com certificates for our lunch.







We decieded that a three day pass for $20.00 was in order because our plan was to go to the Outlet Mall in the afternoon since the Divas show wasn't until that night at 10:00 PM in the Imperial Palace.  We spent the afternoon there. My favourite shops there are Lane Bryant, Coach, Dress Barn, and Fossil. I ended up getting some great deals at Lane Bryant because of their renovation sale!

The night we headed out for a walk and then to the Imperial Palace for Frank Marino's Divas show. Frank wasn't there so they had Cashetta the Extra Large Medium as Hostess for the night. The acts included: Britney Spears, Madonna, Rhianna, Dolly Parton, Diana Ross. Lady Gaga, Janet Jackson, Celine Dion.. etc.. Our favourites were Janet Jackson, Madonna and the finale act. The Rhianna act was good and very edgy.. I had a cocktail with the show and it was a fun 90 mins. We purchased our tickets months back on Travel Zoo for $30 each but you can find coupons on the strip for buy one get one free if you are determined!






Later that evening we wandered down the strip and snacked on Chicken McNuggets. Not something I usually do but.. its Vegas! Great place to people watch. We saw loads of tourists from the UK, Germany and Canada.

Spent some time on the slot machines in the Paris and donated.. No winnings to report.
