July 6 – 9: Vacation #2 – Las Vegas

Nelson, Nathan and I went to Las Vegas. This is our second vacation this year.

Nathan behaved pretty well on the plane.

Since we never stayed at Bellagio Hotel before, we decided to stay there for 4 days, 3 nights. We were used to staying at a suite like Venetian, Encore and Vdara. So staying at Bellagio’s standard room was just OK. But the room was clean and bed very comfortable.

Our room had the view of the pools and City Center

After we checked into our hotel, we hit the pool! As usual, Las Vegas is always over 100 degrees during the Summer. So hanging out at the pool was really nice. Great way to stay cool.

Since our air/hotel package included a show, we decided to watch Tournament of the Kings at Excalibur. We could have watched another show, but we felt that Nathan would enjoy this show more than other shows like Fantasy Girls 🙂 Also, this show included dinner.

Before the show started, we played some games at the Fun Dungeon in Excalibur.

The games spits out tickets that you can redeem for toys at the Fun Dungeon. Nathan playing with some of the toys he got from the Fun Dungeon while having gelato.

When we eat at Las Vegas, we usually eat at the usual places like the buffets, Earl’s Sandwich, Serendipity, etc. But after seeing so many people in line at the BURGR (Gordan Ramsay’s restaurant), we decided to try it. The restaurant opens at 11am. Before the restaurant opened, there were a lot of people in line already. Good thing we got in line before the line got longer. After eating at BURGR, I don’t mind going back again.

Both Nelson and I got milkshakes. Nelson got a coconut pudding with strawberry milkshake while I got a creme brulee pudding with Oreo shake. Both milkshakes are very thick and rich and very good.

I got the Hell’s Kitchen burger (asadero cheese, roasted jalapeno peppers, tomato and avocado).

BURGR is a very expensive place to eat. Even though Yelp says it is a great place for kids… I feel it really isn’t great for kids due to the high price and not so many selections for kids to eat other than french fries. The parents would have to share the expensive burger with the kids to save money.
