In November, we went to some off-season Vegas Shows:
Accommodations
 Since this was during the recession, we got a upgraded suite overlooking Belagio fountain. Spectacular view.  We went out and had had Gelato, and was shocked at the $36 for two small cups (Della Spiga).  Day or night, it didn't suck, and it was a nice suite. |
Touristy stuff
 Posing with David. Poor guy looks cold.  We tried Bobby Flay's Michelin starred SouthWestern food (Mesa Grill). Pretty Tasty.  And took the obligatory Gondola ride.  With a female gondolier (that didn't sing). Melissa later went to Venice and got the real thing. Same idea, just more. |
Elton John: Red Piano
 Elton was weird...  Loved the music, but the rest was distracting.  But bizarre imagery: inflatable boobs and phallic fruit. |
Bette Middler: The Showgirl must go on
 Middler puts on a show. More Melissa's tastes than mine, but still worth the experience.  When she's not talking politics, she's great.  We like good first balcony seats.  And she did a typical sort of talk, joke, sing and dance thing. |
