Today was simply a lazy day of meanderning and wandering through LV. The LV Knights were playing so there was a bit of action in town during mid-afternoon.
Steve and Joshua went to the top of New York New York to ride the roller coaster. Joshua has stated that this was the scariest ride of his life with him being fairly confident that due to his size he was not overly secure on the ride. Both seemed to enjoy it though. Mean while, Belle and I entertained ourselves grabbing a muffin at the pop up "Hello Kitty" store in the "Park" - which was completely brick paved with the exception of feature plants.
There was of course the M&M store where we managed to come away without M&Ms and the Coke store where we purchased water only. We walked the micacle mile - shopping mall that we were over by 1/2 a mile.
As the kids were a bit older this visit we thought we would do a couple of paid events - today being the first with a visit to the Arte Museum - intented to be an immersive exhibit (P.S., it seems they slap the word onto anything here). It was OK, but not great, and I think we would say we felt a bit stung. Sales imaging made the exhibit look a bit more immersive than what it actually way.
Our piece de resistance, and main reason for being in LV, was dinner at Gordan Ramsays Burgers. Unfortunately I wasnt feeling great and had to pass on actually eating. Disappointingly, it was on the casino floor. Magnificintly, Joshua enjoyed and relished his burger, as well as mine. It was worth the adventure. ☺
Speaking of LV being larger than life - Starbucks is literally 17 floors below our room - it was a 15 min walk to get there (one way), and not because the lifts were slow. The casino we were at for Joshuas Gorgan Ramsay burger is on the opposite corner from our hotel - but we would need to allow at least 20-30 minutes to get there from our room. A lot of the main corners dont let you cross the road - you have to go up and over multiple over-head walkways. If you were lucky, and often we wernt, the up escalator was working.

| This room at Arte was pretty magical. |

Last time we were here and visiting the Bellagio, the auditorium was decorated with Christmas plants. Today it was decorated for Chinese New Year.
