We made it to our destination: The Mirage. This picture was taken on the back side of the west wing (one of three wings). I was reminded in some ways of the Sheraton in Addis Ababa. Tomorrow I want to go around to the front and take in that sight. We arrived from the front side, but I was so busy trying to locate the drive in entrance, I didn't actually see anything!
Our room, one of 3,ooo+ rooms in the hotel. I think it's very nice. Adelia was less impressed. But what do I know I'm a guy! Besides, my job is just to be able to find my way back to it when once we leave it! One thing you learn very quickly about this huge place, and that is that the only way to get anywhere in the entire mini-city (which the Mirage is) is through the casino! Need a restroom? "Through the casino and to your left." The elevator? "Go to the far end of the casino and to the right." A cup of coffee? That's Starbucks, "far end of the casino and right down the restaurant plaza." The only chairs to be found are in locations that are going to cost you money. (Thank goodness we brought Adelia's scooter!) And there are no clocks. It's an amazing place in many ways, a mini-city, actually,but I know it wasn't built because guests are being sent home with more money than they came with - which makes it very easy for me to pass quickly through the gaming areas.
Our host even provided his own personal water for us!
This afternoon we visited the "Secret Garden" of Seigfreid & Roy. Truly a tropical jungle inhabited by exotic animals.
...and playful dolphins which were great fun to watch from the underwater viewing areas.
