After Mamma Mia, we went exploring. We were looking for a place to have dinner, but we were also just looking. We went through the Luxor (shaped like a pyramid with lots of Egyptian-looking stuff inside) and Excalibur (a giant castle). Those 3 are all connected to each other. Then we went outside and crossed the street to New York New York, then the MGM. Next we walked down the strip, stopping in at M&M World on our way to Paris. We crossed the strip again (they have escalators and sky bridges to keep pedestrians safe crossing the street) and went to The Bellagio. We caught one of the water shows (giant fountains that are choreographed to music) on the Paris side of the street and caught another one (The Star Spangled Banner . . . a hint that it was the last show of the night, like when television stations used to go off the air at night) as we were on the sky bridge. That was a great location to see the show. From inside The Bellagio we connected to Ceasar's Palace. Through all of this, we didn't really find any place to eat that appealed to us. At Ceasar's we thought we did, but it turned out it was closed. It was after midnight and most of the "real" restaurants close at 10 or 11. We called another one and even though someone answered, they were closed. The hotel coffee shops weren't appealing to us. We ended up taking a taxi home and eating in our own coffee shop at The Riviera. It was nearly 1:00am by now, so we ordered breakfast and yacked and yacked the night away (morning?). What a fabulously fun day!
