Practically every time I took out my camera someone asked if I wanted my picture taken in front of whatever I was about to shoot. The Eiffel Tower isn't worth the hour wait - good choice on your part. Yes, my 4 days there made me an official Vegas tour guide. I found myself teaching the lessons of the bus system to the people checking in as we checked out....can't wait to go back one day!! ...and welcome home! I know!

Yes, my 4 days there made me an official Vegas tour guide. I found myself teaching the lessons of the bus system to the people checking in as we checked out….can’t wait to go back one day!!

…and welcome home!

We really don't do well with lining up! We waited about five minutes at the Noodle Shop tonight (Mandalay Bay) because we had been there before, knew how good it was, and could see tables being cleared!! The wait for an Eiffel ride was better than an hour and we just couldn't do it. Funny how you become the knowledgeable veteran for the new arrivals. We've helped people navigate the area just as we were helped. I love seeing strangers taking pictures for other strangers. It gives me hope for mankind! :) The restaurant was La Provencal (or something similar) across from the Paris Buffet. We really don’t do well with lining up!

That was my breakfast spot. Perfect for my taste. I stayed at Paris, and although the shops and casino area are impressive, I'll head for Belagio or Venetian next time. Another must? A gondola ride at the Venetian. You book a sail time and bypass most of the waiting. Oh, and I do NOT recommend The Price Is Right show at Bally's. Poor choice on my part.
