One of the main
attractions at Bellagio are the mosaic-tiled pools. There are warm, cold, hot
pools for any taste. I would probably never have enough of those…
The pools are open from 8
a.m. till 8 p.m. They do ask to show your room card at the entrance, and then
you are completely taken care of. You can get as many towels as you want. You
do not need to give them back, just leave them on your lounger. You can order a
non-alcoholic beverage or a cocktail; there is also a pool-side café if you are
hungry.
We stayed at the poolside
till half past 2, and then left because it was getting a bit hot.
Today we ate lunch/dinner at
the buffet, after which Grandpa said: “To the circus, you will have to roll me.
Of course, people might be slightly shocked; on the other hand they might
assume we are part of the act.” I
agreed: I had snow crab leg, turkey, prime rib, self-created salad, lox, flan
and chocolate mousse. I could not eat a morsel more even under a gun.
We walked to the Mirage
through Cesar’s palace and then watched “Love” at the Mirage at 7:00.
Unfortunately, our consierge gave us wrong time for the show - 7:30. It was just sheer luck we came
there at 7:05. They collected more strugglers like us and let us in at 7:10.
Our seats were on the balcony, and it was a somewhat different perspective then
the first time I saw this show. This time I could see what was going on above
the canvas that they spread over lower rows. The bed with the kids goes up
almost to the ceiling, and then the canvas billows like waves of an ocean.
Next, aerialists descend from the ceiling, and an image of the yellow submarine
is projected on the waves. The end of the scene is spectacular, with the canvas
mushrooming upwards, and then collapsing with the bed and actors into the pit
and darkness.
My favorite act today was
“Lucy in the sky with diamond”. I still love Mr. K on the swing, but my heart
stopped to watch his act. I was glad when it was over. And, of course, the
trampoline acrobats in “Revolution” are fun to watch. Grandpa loved Julia’s
act, and Grandma Mr. K.
I am wondering if we shall
be hungry tomorrow…
