Vegas--Day 3

On Tuesday, we didn't have any plans so just simply spent the day doing whatever we wanted without any time restraints which was very nice. We slept in until about 8:30, headed to breakfast, and then hit the strip. We spent most of the day going in the various hotels and casinos on the strip and had a great time. From all of the places we went in, the Bellagio and the Mirage were our favorites so maybe we will stay at one of those on our next trip. However, those two are also some of the more expensive, so we will just have to see. For lunch, we ate at a place called BLT Burger in the Mirage that was voted for having the best burger in Vegas. I am not too sure about that, but it was a good meal. The afternoon got very warm (I think it topped 108 degrees) so we decided to go see a movie. I am usually not one to do things on vacation that I can do at home, but by mid-afternoon it was so hot and my ankle needed a break so we went to see the new Harry Potter movie. It was a great movie and it watching it will always be a memory Justin and I have of our trip. When the movie was over it was dinner time so we headed to Planet Hollywood and ate at PF Chang's. We had neither one ever ate at one of these restaurants and our dinner was amazing. They had a special 4-course dinner for two that we chose and we both left there very stuffed. We both had egg drop soup and crab wonton appetizers. For our entree, Justin chose orange chicken (which was delicious) and I had there famous spicy chicken (which was fabulous as well.) For dessert, Justin had a smore concoction and I had tiramisu. It was our favorite meal of the trip. After dinner we hit the strip again and watched the famous fountains at the Bellagio and spent the rest of the night relaxing on the strip before heading back to the Luxor. Once back at our hotel, we hit some slots and we both had some luck. I won $22 and Justin one $10. We definitely didn't put in a lot of money so we were pretty excited. I know some of the people around us thought we were crazy for getting excited over this "little" win, but to us we were just happy to win something.
