July 4 – 5: Las Vegas

Phantom of the Opera’s grand finale at the Venetian in Las Vegas is Sept 2, 2012. To see the show one last time, I decided to go to Las Vegas and booked a room at the Venetian. At first it was only me who was going to Las Vegas but Nelson decided to join me so that we can celebrate our belated 10 year anniversary and his birthday there.

We took an early flight to Las Vegas. Best part about going to Vegas is the distance. It is only a little over an 1hr flight from SFO to Las Vegas. So going to Vegas is a nice quick getaway.

We went to Margaritaville which is one of our usual places to eat for lunch in Las Vegas. Of course Nelson had to get his favorite margarita on the rocks

I usually get a different item from the menu but this time I decided to get the same cheeseburger that Nelson ordered

After lunch, we went back to Venetian and hit the pool.

For dinner, we ate at the Wynn buffet

After dinner, it was time to watch Phantom of Opera. I watched Phantom of Opera in San Francisco twice years ago. But the theater in Venetian Las Vegas is nicely built just for the show which is why I prefer to watch it in Las Vegas.

After the show, we hung out at the Carnavale in front of the Venetian

I wish I was wearing this costume. It actually looks nice.

Next day, we ate at Earl’s Sandwich for early lunch.

Since our flight wasn’t until past 6:30pm, we had enough time to have early dinner at Serendipity

Venetian is my favorite hotel on the Las Vegas strip. But I also like staying at the City Center.
