A little more Vegas for your Palette

So before we move on to Utah, it is important to just give you a little bit more about Vegas, and more specifically about the shows and buffets we experienced.
Thursday: Buffet - Paris, Show - Phantom of the Opera
The Paris Buffet is always great, and it was again. It is like you are sitting in a small French village while you enjoy your meal.
Phantom was spectacular. The theater had been built specifically to stage the show, and they had spared no expense in transporting the audience to the Paris Opera House. It was truly magnificent.
Friday aka Micol's Birthday: Buffet - The Mirage, Show - Cirque de Soleil's Love
While the ambience of the Mirage Buffet paled in comparison to the Paris, I don't think we've ever seen such a wide variety of food. Micol likened it to her Bat Mitzvah party where all of the different food stations were offered...she was happy because this was the most she could eat at a buffet in Vegas...they had a lot of veggie options and not just cute animals that she would rather have as pets than food.
The Love show was unlike anything. It was absolutely stunning. The music was amazing (you can't really go wrong with The Beatles) and the performances and costumes were breathtaking!!! Highly recommended!
Saturday: Show - Terry Fator
WOAH! This guy is unbelievable. Think of the best celebrity musician impersonator in the world...now imagine that his lips don't move and add ventriliquism to his repetoire - That is Terry Fator. His "dummies" actually come alive, and even though you know the sound is coming from Terry, it is actually hard to believe when you are sitting there watching it. He did impersonations ranging from Etta James to Elvis to Roy Orbison - and you can't forget his duet with Kermit the Frog and Louis Armstrong! Remarkable! After the show, we waited in line for an autograph (this is a man who after every show signs an autograph for anyone who wants one - what a guy) and took a picture with him. The picture is attached to our blog so take a look.
Sunday: Breakfast Buffet - The Bellagio, Show - The Outlets :) Well a show for Micol anyway.

And then we were off to Utah...we shall see if it really lives up to all of the hype...
Stay tuned!
