Before we started our trip to LV, the only job Anju gave me was to ensure that our Ipod is properly charged and has all the good songs including Om Shanti Om. I started working on the same from Sunday evening while she wasdoing all the packing,Ironing stuff...yayaya..LAZYME..
Eventhough I downloaded all the OSO songs, I was trying a new software instead the lousy iTunes.Finally when I was done doing all updation and 4 hrs to the flight, I checked to find out the Ipod was 30Gb clean with no songs.I immediately called Julio for help and he advised me to run REBUILD LIBRARY part from the software which I immediately did.I had to hard shutdown when Ronaldo came to pick us up at 3.30.I checked the iPod for the songs and found that it was partially recovered.Ooh what a sigh of relief...
We came out took a cab to NEWYORK NEWYORK Hotel. We had plans to go out for dinner bt when we reached the hotel we were really tired.
CHRISTMAS DAY - Dec25/07
It was an awesome sight outside the hotel with all the lights,cars and people walking.
Went back to the MGM Grand to catch the monorail and on the way watched the Lion show which had a set of new Lions.Caught the monorail and got down at the Paris hotel.
We waited for sometime in the area overlloking the Bellagio as we knew that there will be the famous MUSICAL FOUNTAIN SHOW at the Bellagio.
Came out of Paris,took couple of snaps and walked towards our hotel,it was a long walk of 1 mile.No laughing,it was a great deal for me to walk that long after all the walking whole day long.Bought some burgers on the way from Mcdonalds and got in the room.Ate and slept after a very long day after the Disneyland trip.

Got up at aroud 830 am after a goodnights sleep.While I got ready Anju went down to the Starbucks to get our breakfast.Had breakfast and thought of having a late start.Got the tickets for the V show and went to Planet Hollywood hotel around noon.
Had the buffet which had Asian,American,Italian,Mexican cuisines in addition to Seafood,Breakfast,Salad and Dessert bar.
Couldnt do much justice to the same as I was not feeling very hungry and Anju anyways is a poor eater.
The V show was good and comprised of Comedy,Acrobatics,Magic and other performances.The comedy was really good and enjoyed every bit of it.Afterthe show eventhough we had free dinner coupons,Anju didnt feel like eating so walked back,enjoying the light on the way.I bought a Sub on the way,to have it for dinner in the room.WatchedTV for sometime and slept.

Got ready at 9,when Anju got the breakfast from starbucks.Decided to go to Mandalay Bay,Luxor and Excalibor.
There is a free Tram these three hotels.Took the tram to Mandalay Bay.Whiile we were shooting pictures and handicam inside the casino a security guard stopped us from taking pictures from the casino area.Anyway we walked towards the shark reef aquarium,took tickets and visited the same.It was an above average aquarium much better than the Newport one.
Came out of the aquarium and took the tram to Luxor.Luxor is built in the shape of the Egyptian Pyramid with Pharoah sculptures everywhere.Took a couple of snaps and watched the DEEP SEA 3D movieat the IMAX.This was one of the best IMAX theatres i have visited,the seating arrangement was great.The effects were good bt the movie was boring,SEA MONSTERS were much better.
Came out and took a tour of the Pharoahs tomb whcih was not worth the money.Took a sub to go and took the tram back to our hotel. Thought of staying at the hotel till the extended time we payed for till 5pm.While having the sub called Manju to check the flight timings which was scheduled for1030pm,direct to Portland.Joy called back with the info that the flight is delayed by almost 3hours.Took the Alaska Airline number from him and called them to try for an earlier flight.The customer service at Alaska was healpful andtold me that they can rebook me on 515pm flight through Seattle and it was 345 when this coversation was going.I told them to rebook me on that and decided to take a shot.What followed then was really fast,fortunately Anju had already packed and she called thehelpdesk that we r checkingout and leaving the keys in the room itself.We took a cab at 4 and told the cabby of the situation.He was confident to drop us off fast,but the traffic was very high.This might have been the firt time we ever start for a flight from home/hotel with less than an hour for departure.We made it to the airport at 415pm and ran towards the security and there was a big croud.Anway we reached the gate at 450 and got into the flight...and I am writing this from the flight to Seattle.There is only a 40mts stopover time st Seattle forus to catch the Portland flight,Let see whethr I get that.....
Oh My.. we reached seatlle at 840 and the Portland flight was at 9, ran ran and ran and got it...Small Canadian air..This from the portland flight...
