Love, Las Vegas




Despite already having maxed out one of our two new credit cards, we convinced ourselves that a visit to the Las Vegas Premium Outlets was for needs and not wants. Picked up the usual bargains from the usual high street designers. Lunch at the Aladdin buffet, perenially voted #1 in Las Vegas and we couldn't disagree. It's a "spice buffet" so you get the idea - right up our street. We attempted to walk off lunch - no easy task - by footing it to Mirage Hotel for our evening engagement. Naturally this was no ordinary walk as it was via the Forum shops at
Caesar's Palace and Andie heaven - a Marc Jacobs and AP store right next to each other.

Sodding Penn & Teller (tagline "less audience members injured than last year") seem to be doing their very best to avoid us - every year we come here, we miss their show by a day or two. Despite having steadfastly avoided Cirque du Soleil in the past, we were tempted by their lastest show, The Beatles Love. Speakers on the back of each seat added to the effect of a most enjoyable musical experience. Except for all the f****** acrobats and dancers obviously. We
made the mistake of ordering a large magarita each; not clever to go large in Vegas (see picture). 1am Supper in Cafe Bellagio where bellinis are, oddly, frozen.
