vegas day 3

Since my aunt took me to high end shops earlier, she wanted to take me to some middle end shops. So our mission this morning was to get to Planet Hollywood. On our way there I tried to call to get reservations at Firefly for dinner but couldn't get through. We went through Bally's and Paris to Planet Hollywood.

We ate lunch at an awesome sandwich shop in Planet Hollywood's mall and continued shopping through the rest of the mall. A lot of shops were like the shops at our malls.

Paris was awesome! They had little boutiques and shops around the casino. They made the casino floor look like it was in the middle of Paris which was amazing and the perfect marketing ploy which caught me. I played a little bit at Paris and managed to stay a float. I didn't lose to much there.
the shops at Planet Hollywood weren't that extravagant but the atmosphere was really cool. it was definitely mall aimed at the middle class crowd like us. On our way back I stopped at the tables in Planet Hollywood's Pleasure Pit. The cards were really cool! The logo they used on the back was a fancy heart with the words "Pleasure Pit" in the middle. The dealers were hot that day! It wasn't the attractive hot either, they took everyone's money! I was able to last through 2-3 groups of people but I ended up loosing $100.

Later that evening we met up with uncle and his co-worker again but this time for tapas at firefly. On our way back to the room to get ready for dinner we stopped by a restroom. My auntie found a wedding ring in one of the women's bathroom stalls! She didn't take it because she believed karma was going to get her if she did. I finally got through to the restaurant on the way back. Apparently they don't do reservations. It was first come first serve. They were normally filled up for the rest of the night at the time I called but luckily they had open seats. When we got there we were seated right away. I was told tapas translates to "little plates" which is exactly what we ordered. We had a whole pitcher of red sangria, stuffed peppers, lamb, calamari, pepper tuna, tuna tar tar, fish sticks and paella. We went back to the hotel and uncle and I went back to the casino floor. I played pai-gow for a while and couldn't win anything. I gave up, went to the black jack tables and ended up loosing the rest. I lost $240 that night. So far I'm not doing too hot in Vegas.
