Evening at the Bellagio
Last night we finally made it to the Bellagio. We had dinner at the buffet. We spent nearly $80--at the buffet! Friday and Saturday nights are "gourmet" at the buffet. The selection was heavy on the seafood--shrimp, crab, sashimi, and a variety of ocean fish. Unfortunatly, we're not big on shellfish and sashimi, or the other specialties of the evening, like beef wellington. The worst part was after dinner, where I asked for espresso, and was told it would be an extra charge. I ended up paying $6 for something that was not espresso, it was a cappuchino-type drink like one gets out of hot-cocoa machines at gas stations. Last word: if you're a seafood lover, you'll like it, but for vegetarians, it's not a great value.
Of course, after the buffet, we watched the fountain. I didn't know that 1) the shows are done to music and 2) there are multiple different shows. The first show we saw was done to that Celine Dion song from Titanic. It was impressive, but the second show, set to All That Jazz from Chicago was much, much better.
