I'll enumerate our activities in bullet form.
- Had eggs Benedict in bed.
- Went up to the Strip in the morning, walked down about as far as the MGM Grand and back.
- Bought wacky M&M flavors and colors at the M&M store.
- Rode the tram that runs between the Excalibur and Mandalay Bay; noted its extremely slow deceleration.
- Got all happy when our bags showed up.
- Read my book and knitted on the beach in surprisingly warm sunshine while Noel went to the half-price ticket booth.
- Ate an outstanding Black Angus burger with bleu cheese, cinnamon bacon, and pickled beet root at the Burger Bar.
- Got a new room (the kind we reserved wasn't available when we checked in, so they moved us today).
- Sat by the pool with a fruity drink.
- Napped.
- Went to the Rio and walked around the Brazilian themed casino before eating some Chinese food.
- Played poker (I lost my stake, but Noel doubled his).
- Saw Penn & Teller's terrific show.
- Congratulated ourselves on a successful first day of vacation.

Interesting. This reminds me of that Seinfeld bit at the rental car place: "You know how to take the reservation, but you don't know how to hold the reservation."
Where are you staying? You saw Penn & Teller so you've already done one of my most-recommended Vegas activities. If you are at all interested I highly recommend the Pinball Hall Of Fame, although its a bit of a drive. Ditto the Liberace Museum. Also Hoover Dam, it will eat half a day but it is so worth it. Take the guided tour.
Sigh, I miss Vegas. Have fun!
