I asked the sales clerk in a Cosmopolitan's shop if there's a feature in the hotel we should not miss. He directed us to the 8-foot shoes on display in one of the hallways.
I decided to fall into the pink shoe.
There were a couple of men who wanted to join in our picture.
I said, "Sure, it's my birthday, come on in the picture."
So, last week on Nightline, they did a story on Vegas' newest hotel/casino, The Cosmopolitan. Cyndi, Wendy and I decided to take a look around the place.

Hello? Why don't we see more of these near restrooms?
Sitting on a log is a lot more comfortable when chair backs are drilled into the log.
We were admiring the carving on a table in a furniture store.
I didn't look at the price tag, but nothing in the store is less than $10k.
A chair made out of Legos -- $71k.
When I asked if it had been tested to withstand anything heavier than a 5-year-old,
I was told that the Legos were set on steel.
1. The name of the store is "All Saints"
2. Behind that mirror is a wall of old Singer sewing machines,
just like the one mom used to own in Indonesia ...
The gardens in the Bellagio Hotels in Las Vegas is always decorated for next holiday. Chinese New Year is just weeks away, so Cyndi, Wendy and I decided to brave the crowds and see how they had decorated for the occasion.
What is the Easter Rabbit doing here? Oh, wait ... It's the year of the Rabbit!

One of the things I love about visiting a big city like Las Vegas is that I find unique things I can't find in Salt Lake. After dinner tonight, Wendy took me to a chain Chinese supermarket and I saw these dragon fruits. Aren't they just beautiful?
The skin is bright pink and green, the inside meat is purple with black (poppy seed like) seeds. It's tasted like a kiwi. YAY for trying new things ...
My friend, Kristen (aka "Pinky"), knows that I've had a wee bit (HUGE) crush on Nathan Fillion, an actor. So, when I met up with her and "the girls" last night for dinner, she presented me with my birthday gift -- his autograph! Love it! ♥
Five years ago, when I was given my 10-year service award, I took the money and used it help finance a portion of my trip to Seattle/Canada. While I visited some great places, the trip was a bit of a nightmare because my not so great travel companions. I had nothing spectacular to remind me of my 10-year service award, other than a few photos in which forced smiles were plastered on the faces of the people in them and a refrigerator magnet of a Canadian Mountie.
