Day 15 (Viva Las Vegas)

We spent the day today in vegas. The first thing was to hit the hobby store. I wanted to see if they had anything that was on my want list. I found two train cars I have been missing. The store is St. Auburn Station.

On the way back, we stopped at the factory outlet stores. Angie and I both picked up new shoes to replaced our worn out ones. With our new shoes, we headed to lunch. We went to the buffet at the Hilton.

After lunch we stopped at the fashion show mall to check out the two for one tickets. We didn’t find anything we wanted to see tonight. So we went back to the hotel and dropped off our loot. We went outside and over to the Mirage. We saw a sign for Jay Leno for that evening. So we went searching for the ticket office. They still had tickets for that evenings show, so we bought two of them.

The show was at 10:30 so we had about 4 hours to kill. We went in search of a place we could have a drink. You would not think it would be difficult to find a place that we could get a drink in Vegas! It took us over an hour to find a lounge/bar that we could get a drink. We tried three different hotels who were either all too busy or didn’t have any room.

At one point we sat down in a lounge, they brought us peanuts and olives but after 20 minutes never came to take our drink order, so we left. We finally found a bar that was pretty empty and had drinks. After drinks we went back to the Mirage to have dinner. The wait at the Brazilian BBQ place was too long, so we ate at the buffet.

After dinner, we wandered around the hotel, we only had about a half hour to wait, so we sat around in the lobby waiting. Once the wait was over we took our seats.

The show was really good. The opening act was a doo-wap band that was pretty funny. They performed for about 45 minutes. After that Jay Leno came on stage for about 90 minutes. We both really enjoyed the show. He performs about once a year and all the proceeds go to charity. It was really good we could see the show.

After the show we walked back to the hotel and hit the sack.
