Lazy girl's trip report--Loud toilets, Le Reve, %26amp; $20 drinks

Feeling a wee bit lazy, so I%26#39;m just going to hit the high points, or things that surprised me!

Wynn: Hotel was great--were treated great despite booking on Hotwire. Asked for, and got, a great quiet room (1726) overlooking the golf course. Room was gorgeous and spotless. Loudest toilet I%26#39;ve ever heard in my life! It was like a rocket lifting off!

Valley of Fire: Took my breath away. Definitely worth a day trip. We stopped at Whole Foods (past Mandalay Bay) to pack a picnic--totally worth it. Recommend hiking the white domes trail--you feel like you%26#39;re on another planet!

Shows: Saw Penn and Teller and Le Reve--would highly recommend both, for different reasons. I was so nervous during the entire Le Reve show due to all the acrobatic feats, but would watch it again in a heartbeat! Worth every $$.

Restaurants: Mesa Grill remains my Vegas favorite. We did not have reservations, so we ate in the lounge while random hungry folks waiting for tables leered at and commented on our food (I%26#39;m talking to you, Montana!). But I had two Mesa margs, so nothing bothered me! Circo is great for the fountain view, but food is fine, not spectacular. Exception being the little bombolini donuts. Oh my word. Burger Brasserie is a sports bar, so if you want a burger in a sports bar, go nuts. If you%26#39;re looking for more atmosphere, then pass. I was not impressed. Hit Bouchon for breakfast, and loved the atmosphere, but my breakfast was just OK. Tableau breakfast was better, in my opinion. Also enjoyed snacks at Society Cafe at Encore--the veggie flatbread and pretzel breads were quite tasty!

Drinks: Enjoyed several tasty drink$ at the Wynn, including the raspberry lemonade at the poolside bar and the grand brut at Parasol Up, the famous $20 glass of champagne. Suffice it to say I sipped that one slowly!

Misc: Got a fantastic pedicure at the Wynn salon--it%26#39;s pricey, but they did a wonderful job, and they send you home with the files, buffers, etc., that they use.

Also hit the car collection at Imperial Palace for DH--he loved it, and saw several cars he had never even heard of before!

And the Bellagio fountains continue to rock my world. :)

That pretty much sums it up!

Very nice report! Thank you.

I agree with you about Bouchon. Overrated. Tableau was much better.

Short but sweet! I%26#39;m glad you liked Le Reve because I%26#39;m hoping to see it in May and the Bellagio Fountains are, and will always be, my FAVORITE attraction in Vegas!

Thanks for sharing!

Sounds like you had a beautiful trip. I%26#39;m leaving in 10 days so I%26#39;m super excited now!

Thanks for the report. I won free tickets to Le Reve in Feb for signing up for the Red card and loved it!

Very nice summary, thank you.

You know? I was also surprised at the toilets at Wynn and MC this last weekend. Both reminded me of the Cruise ship super sucker toilets, lol.
