Leaving Las Vegas

David and I just came home from an 8-day trip in Las Vegas. We stayed at The Mirage, one of the busiest hotels in Vegas ever. David rented a car and visited so many places, including:

1. Ethel's Chocolate Factory and Cacti Garden (Ethel's is the maker of M&M's chocolate candies, Skittles, Starbursts, Snickers, Milky Way, 3 Musketeers, Dove, Kudos, Twix, Cookies & etc. We had ice cream there)

2. Liberace Museum (actually we only visited the front desk and inquired about the tour and program. We were supposed to go back on Saturday but we did other things instead. However, I took a picture of the building)

3. Hoover Dam

4. Arizona (for 15 minutes by stepping out of the boundary between Las Vegas and Arizona when we visited Hoover Dam)

5. Red Rock Mountain

6. Los Angeles, California (after David missed to turn to the exit road when we were heading to the Outlet Mall. Calvin was with us)

Shows we watched:

1. Lance Burton magic show at the Monte Carlo Hotel

2. Mama Mia at the Mandalay Bay

3. Madame Tusauds at The Venetian Hotel

4. Mystere at The Treasure Island

Who's who:

1. Saw Fantasia Barrino at Atlanta, Georgia International Airport Terminal 9. She was with a bodyguard and an airport staff

2. Leonardo DiCaprio was at the private pool (called BARE) on Saturday at the hotel where we stayed. The pool is just next the pool where David and I went swimming every morning on the duration of our trip (it's so hot in Vegas). Later, Leo went to the JET nightclub of the hotel to party. I learned this in the news Sunday. I'm not a fan of Leo but it would have been nice to see how he looks like in person, right?

3. Helen Miren was at the Caesar's Palace ( we didn't get to see her. I only learned about this in the news). The hotel is just a walking distance from The Mirage

Tummy tuck:

1. David and I ate at buffet restaurants in The Mirage, Monte Carlo, Caesar's Palace, 4 Queens, and at a Chinese restaurant (I forgot the name of the resto).

2. We went grocery shopping at Smith's and ate at a park. We also filled the hotel refrigerator with groceries, mostly subs

Here's the thrilling news guys:

I was interviewed by Oprah and Larry King! I will show you the pictures as proof.
