This morning we had agreed a slightly later start so Rob and I went in search of food and eventually picked up some deli croissant’s at Walgreens.
We had split plans for this morning as the boys were going to Welderup (from the Discovery channel tv show) and originally Em and I were going to have some pool time.
Unfortunately, the pool wasn’t open (despite me seeing people in the Bellagio pool from our window) and Em was having foot issues – she had some blisters
So, the boys got an uber and I decided to go and visit Paris while I had some time.
I decided to head out via Bellagio and across the road, the sun was out so this was a pleasant walk.
I took a look around Paris and then took a quick look in a few of the shops at Miracle Mile and into Planet Hollywood where I passed by the Earl of Sandwich but resisted buying anything!
I got a message from Rob to say they were on the way back so I headed back via The Cosmopolitan – don’t these dogs look like they are having a meeting? I wonder what they are discussing?
I also passed this mega line for the Wicked Spoon buffet and there is a VIP line
Here are a few of the photos from the boys morning:
I met up with Rob and Chris (Em was still resting her feet) and we headed over to The Flamingo where we saw some Flamingos
Then we headed towards The Linq (which I believe is the same idea as the London Eye) where we found a Ghirardelli shop and I couldn’t resist a sundae!
We headed back via Bellagio / Cosmo for our now customary afternoon nap
All refreshed and with Emma back we got an uber to Silverton Casino where we had a look around and saw the mermaids (really just one but there are multiple shows across the day).
The boys also went into the Bass Pro shop where they found many guns, boats and ATVs. They were amazed at the range of guns!
There were also a couple of ‘choppers’ which were built by Orange County Choppers (also previously a discovery show).
We decided to have dinner at the Sundance Grill as the menu looked reasonable and it didn’t look busy.
We enquired about a table and the greeter quite grumpily told us they were very busy and we would have to wait around 25 mins.
The restaurant seemed quite empty so we assumed that it was a staffing issue, she took our number and then realised she couldn’t text it (we had told her that we didn’t think it would work) so she took our name (or at least Rob’s) and told us to come back in 25 mins.
We got a drink in the bar while we waited and returned as instructed where she yelled “ROBERT” and then headed off at pace towards our table. We practically ran after her as we were afraid of getting told off.
We were seated and had menu’s thrown at us, we realised our table was a bit uncomfortable so fearing for our treatment we dared to ask to move.
Our server obliged and we hoped we wouldn’t get in trouble
Despite this we actually had a nice meal, we were brought bread rolls and some of the group had salad (not me!)
Rob had steak and asparagus with mash and I had a chicken sandwich – it did come with fries but they were brought separately and I forgot to take a photo.
Overall we really enjoyed our visit to Silverton – it was much less modern than some of the places on the strip but the food was good and reasonably priced (our share of the bill was £60 inc drinks and tip) and the crazy greeter really made for a hilarious meal!
I don’t appear to have had dessert – good job I had 2 cakes the day before! We took another uber back to the hotel and that was the end of the day
