Las Vegas Day 3

Conference didn't really start till later in the day, so I, the son and the husband went out to do a few things.

Went to the M&M Store and the Coca-Cola Store to buy some totally useless junk for several family members.

Went to the Luxor to find Egyptian items for the son, only to find out that they aren't selling that stuff anymore. WTF?! The last time we came here (like 5 years ago) they had a huge gift shop of just stuff from/about/relating to Egypt. What is the point of the whole pyramid thing without accompanying crap?

Went to Mandalay Bay for the son and went through Shark Reef, a huge aquarium thingy. Lots of fish, sharks, etc. to see.

After we went everywhere we wanted to, we came back to the hotel where I had to work the conference registration desk for two hours. It was hectic, but the time went quickly. Once that chore was over, we went to dinner.

After that we went to see Penn & Teller. Their show is based here at the Rio and it was really good. Before the show there was a jazz duo playing on stage and I looked at the bassist really hard - I just knew it was Penn playing. The man at the piano asked all the audience to go up onstage and look over a wooden box there and to write our name down on an envelope that was there. So we did.

Later in the show they sawed the box in half with a woman in it and used the envelope for another trick. I don't want to explain too much 'cause the show is good and you should go see it.

After the show was over, both Penn and Teller were in the lobby and let everyone get a photo with them, signed autographs, etc. I asked Penn if he were the one playing on stage before the show and he admitted that he was. Cool!

Finally went to bed - long day.

No gambling yet, but hopefully soon.
