Day 3232

 I woke up about 7:30 and got up immediately.  So did Ellen.  She took the dog out while I got the laundry ready.  Then I took the laundry to the laundry room and she met me there after taking the dog back.

It was good that we got up early.  There were already two people washing clothes before 8 on a Tuesday.  Who would have thought?  Fortunately there were enough machines left and Ellen could start the wash.  Then we both went back to the trailer for breakfast and pet stuff.  After that we just surfed until the wash was done.  Then we left for the strip.

I ended up parking at the Luxor.  It's structure actually is high enough to fit the truck.  It was early morning, so we got to park near the stairs.  We went inside the Luxor and took a short walk through it to the Madalay bay.  Then we walked all the way through Mandalay Bay to see the aquarium on the far side.

The aquarium was great.  It was room after room of fish displays.  Two of the rooms were "under water" with fish swimming above you.  In one of the rooms there were three Navy divers in a tank of sharks.  It must have been some sort of commercial because they were filming it with professional gear.  The tanks were filled with different exotic fish - sharks, sting rays, piranha, and lots of other odd and/or brightly colored fish.  It was really a great exhibit.

When we were done we took the tram to the Luxor and finished walking thought it.  There were the typical shops and a couple of exhibits - Titanic and "The Body".  We didn't stay long.  Then we took the tram to Excalibur.

Excalibur was a lot more fun.  There was an arcade, but most of the games weren't manned.  There were a lot of the electronic ones that we couldn't figure out (we're getting old).  It was after 1 and we were getting hungry.  We found a place that was still serving breakfast.  It was a fun place to eat at, but the food was OK, but not great.

From there we went to New York, New York.  We were getting tired though and decided to skip walking through it and went to the Coke store a block away instead.  Unfortunately it didn't have any neat bear stuff.  After that we went back to the Excaliber and took the tram to the Luxor.  From there it was back to the trailer.

One thing about the trip that was nice was there wasn't a lot of traffic on Las Vegas Blvd.  That made for a nice easy drive.

We got home about 5:30.  Ellen took the dog out while I fed everybody.  I also picked up the watch band I'd ordered and installed it.  After a little videos and rest we decided to go to Bass Pro Shops.  I got a dog toy and a waterproof shell box.  Then we went to casino to eat.  We had Chinese food.  It was packed, but we managed to get a table.  My Kung Pao chicken was OK, but nothing to write home about.

After that we went home.  We started watching videos for the rest of the evening.
