Wednesday morning, we checked out, brought our bags to the car, and went to go see the wildlife sanctuary at the Flamingo, since we’ve never stopped in there.<\/p>\n

I love that the turtles have their names painted on them, and that Amy was standing on Mike.<\/p>\n

We went to go play pai gow for a while, but I had a really bad run and lost $60 again. I fully expect to win a bunch next time I play, because twice in a row is unlikely. We decided that brunch was a better use of our cash, so we went up to the rooftop at Margaritaville and had some food and margaritas.<\/p>\n

On the way back through the Flamingo, I wanted to show Matt how to play craps, since he was playing blackjack the first time I’d tried it. I placed my bet, and quickly recouped the money I’d lost at Pai Gow. Whoa.<\/p>\n

We went over to do our usual shopping at Caesars, and managed to not buy a single thing at Shanghai Tang. (First time ever!) Then it was time to go get our stuff and head to the airport, sadly. We did manage to meet a showgirl on the way, and had Bally’s photo taken with her. WIN.<\/p>\n

On the flight home, we saw a court-storming on the airplane TV. So not fair!<\/p>\n
