Beyond The South Bay In LA: Vegas Birthdays

Jerry and Cheri, The June 9th Birthday Boy and Girl, At Moon At The Palms

View From Foundation Room At The Mandalay Bay

Cirque du Soleil - Mystere

I came to Vegas with my bf who was there for his annual sales meeting from June 8-12. He was going to be busy during the day with meetings and some of the nights so I hung out at the pool most of the day then met up with a Vegas local I know.

Sunday we met up with a couple of my www.flyertalk.com friends that happened to be in town and the Vegas local and went to see The Mentalist and out for a few drinks later.

Monday was my birthday but no one was around so I relaxed at the pool most of the day, had dinner at Merkato an really good but inexpensive Ethiopian restaurant then headed to see Cirque du Soleil Mystere at Treasure Island which is an incredible show. Afterwards, I headed to the Foundation Room at Mandalay Bay to meet up with my bf and his co-workers.

Tuesday was another pool day, then I met up with my bf and tagged along to his corporate party at the Mandalay Bay Pool where there was a stage set up with Elvis Costello performing, food and drinks. There I found out that one of his colleagues that I have know for several years shared the same birthday....Gemini Twins. :) Later on a group of us headed to the Palms and went to the Playboy Club and the Moon bar where we had reserved tables and bottle service.

Wednesday more pool time alone. Then off with a friend to Lotus Of Siam, a small hidden authentic Thai restaurant knows as the best Thai in the USA. After a wonderful dinner we headed to Cirque du Soleil - KA at the MGM Grand. Another fantastic Cirque show...probably my favorite of the 3 I have seen. Later met up with my bf and his group at the Cathouse at the Luxor where we saw Carrot Top and Dog, The Bounty Hunter visiting at the table next to mine. A strange sight to see.

Thursday was the day to pack up and head on home.....still recovering.
