Leaving Las Vegas

This year is the 50th anniversary of Caesar's Palace. In the lobby they have a chariot erected for you to pose in if you want. I wanted.





We wanted to eat at Gordon Ramsay's pub, but we had a half hour before they opened, so we went out front to the portico, and proceeded to pose there as well.




We went back inside and Doc stood in front of the goddesses. 



So, of course, I stood in front of the gods.



Then we passed the Nike store, and I joined up with my long lost football team from high school.



Across the plaza in the center is a giant circular aquarium. It's salt water, and the fish were cool.




There was a beautiful leopard shark.



This ray had his portrait marrred by the reflection from the Nike store sign on the glass.



But there was a bashful one laying down on the gravel bottom, chillin'.



After that, we ate at Gordon Ramsay's. It was delicious, and no more expensive than anywhere else. We had a giant wedge salad and bangers and mash. Really yummy. Doc said that he obviously knows how to prepare food.

Then Doc went to his last class, and I started out for a little walk.


Another beautiful day in the neighborhood. It was low 80s all week.


The lobby of the Palazzo. It is attached to the Venetian by the Grand Canal Shoppes.


A view of the ceiling in the foyer.



 At the end of the lobby is a giant red Love Sign.Lots of ladies wanted to pose in the O.



As you ride up the escalators, you pass a three story waterfall. After walking through the Shoppes, I arrived at the Grand Canal. There are gondolas for hire.





I got to St Mark's Square just in time for the medieval arts show. The introduction was done by a man on stilts, who then acted as a puppeteer for the two jesters.




The two jesters escaped with the help of a white marble statue who had come to life.



 They were accompanied by piano and violin.




There were two operetta singers, one male and one female.



Then one jester juggled as she did splits and squats and used several tennis balls at once (about 12).


The other jester was a contortionist.



I had to go back to Caesar's at this point, because Doc's class was ending and he asked if I could take a couple of pictures.



It was a course on Advanced Skin Repair and Suturing. The physicians all got a few pig legs.


Then the professors described the incisions to be made, and everyone marked their leg. They practiced different types of incisions, different depths and different techniques.




Everyone cleaned up their own tray and disposed of their sharps.



A success !!! Now he can feel confident if he ever has to sew me up for any reason. Let's ALL hope that doesn't happen.
