Another walk around the strip

Bobbi and I went to the Blue Man Group on Friday night.  What a great show!  The creativity was outstanding and we had a lot of fun.  No photos allowed so I just sat back and enjoyed.

Afterwards, we wandered around the Venetian for a couple of hours.  I really like that resort.  The casino is certainly there but it is one of the places where I was able to really enjoy walking around without having the gambling around every corner.  The halls are much like Italian back streets (except the stores aren’t local delis and bakeries – instead all the high-end shops are squeezed in side by each).  Great restaurants with patios overlooking the canals are a real treat.  We ate at one of Mario Battali’s restaurants – very fine food and a dessert of local dates and honey with homemade vanilla bean gelato made it memorable for both of us.  The canals are great and wind inside and outside of the Venetian.  I really enjoyed playing with the compositions in this place using the lensbaby muse (a new toy!) to throw focus all around the frame.

We rode back to our hotel on the monorail and it was fun to watch the vegas skyline slide by.

A big thank you to Kofo for taking care of our kids for the night.  Another to Andy and Diane for making the show and the night a special occasion.
