Funny that we got a hotel at MGM Grand but we barely spent much time there. Woke up and had breakfast at the worse buffet in Vegas. If there is something to not do in Vegas it would be this place, the buffet in Excalibur has to be the worse on the strip. It's expensive for absolutely no reason. Everything was just bland, nothing had flavor I had to use all the condiments that were offered on the table to put some taste in it. There were some fast food places that were across the hall that I would have preferred but for some reason the people I was with we had to go to this buffet. I thought I made it clear that I didn't like that buffet from actually stating that I didn't like it and going up only once and not finishing my plate. Whoever reads this and are going to Las Vegas, PLEASE GO SOMEWHERE ELSE!
After breakfast we went on a quick run through of a few hotels in Vegas, not even getting a chance to take in our surroundings. Talking with my family, including my mom and dad, he's infamous for that. He makes a vacation into this hectic schedule of moving and trying to show as much as he can in the little times he has. These poor grandmas that we were with are walking trying to catch up but he doesn't seem to care or ask them if they need a break or anything until I had to suggest it. We went through MGM Grand, Luxor, Mandalay Bay and Caesar's Palace. When we got to Caesar's we went around the Forum Shops and he dropped off the grandmas there to watch this "show" until he gambled a little. I took this time to walk around the shops and just browse a little went to a few stores and finally had a chance where I can take in the sculptures and fake Rome. I finally made it back to the grandmas where they were questioning me where my uncle is. We finally met him up at the Pai Gao tables so then we end up gambling for a couple hours. I was actually up 40 bucks there so that wasn't too bad of a time there.
Later we went to Chinatown in Vegas, all it really was is just a strip mall a little ways from the strip and we had another disgusting meal at this restaurant called 'Sam Woo BBQ,' I only remember what it's called because of my check in on Foursquare, but yes the duck was very sweet and and noodles we had was bland. What is up with the places we're going to? Obviously, they weren't my choice because when I did say something about let's go here instead my suggestions were just thrown out and were decided by my uncle to where we ate. He even had the nerve to order for me there. Okay, I have to say that I'm a foodie and to order for me is such a slap in the face. I was so upset about that I didn't even talk to my uncle almost the rest of the day.
Finally back on the strip we did our quick run through the strip again. We walked quickly through the shops, once again not being able to take in the surroundings, and then to the Bellagio and had a bad angle of the fountain show.
Getting back to our hotel we did end up going to Cirque du Soleil "KA." I wish I was able to take pictures or anything from that show because it was simply amazing! It literally took you to a whole new place and all of the acrobatic skills of these talented people are breathtaking. There were times where I was holding my breath because I was scared for their lives because what they put on the line just to entertain us. Some didn't have any safety harnesses and were so high up in the air, I was at the edge of my seat thinking I was going to witness a tragedy or something. This something I really do recommend doing when you're in Vegas, shell out the money for one of these shows because it's so worth it.
