maybe we were born to run

This day was full of walking from casino to casino and just going inside to look around. Here's some highlights.

The one and only free aquarium you will find in Las Vegas in in the Mirage's lobby!! Most charge $15 or higher for a walk through thing with fish, but this gem was totally free. Even if they didn't mean for it to be an exhibit.. I made it one. AQUARIUM!
Also in the Mirage was all the Beatles stuff, made me miss my homie, Jenell. After I took this picture, some dude who worked there was all, "It's rare you'll be able to take this picture without strangers being in it, you're lucky today!" Too bad he wasn't talking about gambling though. Gambling sucks.
After walking around more and checking out Rome and Italy, we all went back to the hotel and had... dun dun dunnnn.. a traditional Thanksgiving dinner! I was pretty stoked about this since I thought I wouldn't be having a traditional dinner (i'm such a traditionalist when it comes to holidays) but my aunt found this place that served dinners, and all you had to do was heat them up. And it didn't even taste like shit.. so it all worked out for me!
After dinner, my family and I went to see "O".. one of the "cirque" (as the cool kids call it) shows. This is what the ceiling looked like. I thought it was a pretty awesome ceiling. The stage was basically a big pool of water, but it was pretty neat in the idea that the floor would come up on occasion and be completely dry. Then certain parts would drop back down and there would be water again. Hard to explain, but I think the stage was one of the coolest parts about the whole show. YEAH There were people doing insane shit on swings and diving boards and with fire and everything.. but the stage was pretty interesting, too.
After that, we walked around the Bellagio hotel. This is the ceiling in the lobby. My cousin's husband was telling me that there are two thousand glass blown flowers there.
Oh and the Bellagio had this awesome walk through exhibit that was dedicated to Autumn. How awesome is that? They were like, "We know you're coming Christmas, but let's pay mind to an overlooked season before we celebrate you."
So then my family went out to get some drinks, and the drinks were drunk, and people got SO funny. SO SO funny..............................................
