Xmas in Sin City (part 3) - La Reve, well no.

Okay first… I have learned a lesson about my blogging skills. I should not attempt to write large, major blogs back to back in the same day. Xmas in Sin City (part 1) was a great blog, but part 2 was not as good. I guess I blew my wad on the first post. I’ll try to do better.

Sunday, Christmas Eve we decided to get out and about once again and just stroll up and down the Strip and finally decided to go check out a movie to pass the afternoon until it was time to go see La Rêve. Finding a movie theater on the strip couldn’t be that hard we reasoned, in fact I swore we saw one, one evening strolling back up the Strip. We found one near the MGM Grand hotel online and decided to head out. I still keep forgetting how DECEIVING the Strip can be. Hotels are so large, they look nearby but they are in fact pretty far away. It took us almost 45 minutes to walk from TI to the movie theater. We were beat! But we got there just in the nick of time and got tickets to see “Casino Royale”. Now I’ve said before I think that I’m quite a Bond fan, especially of the newer post Cold War Bonds, and this movie was no different. I enjoyed it and the new Bond, Daniel Craig very much. It was a long movie and we decided to hop the monorail back to our neck of the Strip to head over to the Wynn and get our tickets to La Rêve.

After stopping off at our hotel to get all tarted up and walked across the three bridges to the Wynn and got on queue to pick up our tickets for the 1030pm show. While standing in line, we noticed the big “Holiday Show Schedule” placard and sadly, we noticed there was NO 1030pm show on December 24th. The woman at the ticket counter confirmed that we did buy tickets to a show that was never scheduled and that we were the tenth customer this evening who did so. We were then also informed that we should NOT have bought tickets from Expedia but rather we should have called the hotel directly, well yes I guess I agree but I sure didn’t need to be chastised for it. She was nice enough to call Expedia and get us a refund. Boy are we glad we saw Zumanity!

It was not all that upsetting as what we spent on the tickets covered a good bit of our food bill over the past few days. We headed back to TI and had some dinner and did some gambling, no of course I didn’t win anything but I didn’t lose that much!

Tomorrow… Christmas Day and dinner with Pinoyboy!



Go on... say something. You know you want to.
