Rest Day - Las Vegas
Gee whiz we love Vegas! We spend almost the entire day treating our bodies to a little luxury at the spa/salon at Caesar's Palace, soaking and steaming away in style. We leave feeling somewhat like we did 2 months ago before the trip. Normal, that is. We also saw a Dale Chihuly (American glass artist- all hand blown) exhibition and installation at the Bellagio, which was stunning!
When we're done we head to the local University, UNLV, which is hosting an NBA pre-season game between the LA Lakers and Sacramento Kings. For those of you who don't know, and there can't be many of you who don't, Luke has been obsessed with basketball and the NBA his entire life. So an unexpected game in an unexpected city was a dream come true, really. The stadium is packed to the rafters, and we are 2 of about a combined 5 Kings fans in the entire joint to see the Kings cause an upset. Seeing Kobe, Nash, Gasol, World Peace (yes, that's his surname) and the Kings young guns in action was awesome.
Back on the strip, we both played a midnight poker tournament at the Luxor, in which Ada is, believe it or not, chip leader at one stage after a couple of big early hands. While her stack dwindles, it lasts just enough to finish one spot higher than Luke, something which qualifies her as better than Luke at poker, if you ask her.
