Vegas, day 2 (5/12/07)
We started out the morning by wandering down from our hotel rooms into the spa at Mandalay Bay. We had our 10am massage appointments and then tried out all the different amenities offered, including breakfast, a eucalyptus steam room (with cucumbers for our eyes), a dry sauna, 3 different temperature spa pools, an icy cold plunge pool, and an aromatherapy shower facility. They gave us each a locker to store our things as well as a bathrobe and flip-flops to enjoy the sauna in. I took a pic (though I found out later I wasn't supposed to) - it's of the plunge pool and the glass doors of the eucalyptus room. JP's mom and I got to chat for a couple hours, which was SO much fun. I love her so much. :)
Outside of the sauna is their manmade beach, complete with a wave pool, a lazy river and sand! We hung out for a little while and then went back to our room to get ready to go to the Wynn, our hotel for that day.
The Wynn can best be classified as extremely classy, modern art. Juxtaposition is everywhere... oh postmodernism. :) It's extremely creative and full of vibrant colors which I loved. There are gorgeous waterfalls and trees decorating the outside of the hotel - quite a sight in the middle of the hot desert! :)
We went back to our gorgeous, panoramic view room (with a view of their golf course) to get all gussied up for dinner at Tableau and the Wynn's version of a Cirque de Soleil show. Dinner was absolutely amazing! The absolute height of elegance! One of the hotel employees escorted us to the door of our restaurant where the restaurant host then took over and escorted us to our seats. They placed our napkins on our laps and then we got a chance to look over the menu. They brought us a taster of their chef's new soup, compliments of the restaurant as well as our individual pans of bread. When our order arrived, 5 people came with all our necessary plates and were in and out within 15 seconds! It was like watching a dream-like dance. SO much fun! :) After a wonderful meal, they brought us desserts for our birthdays, gift bags with candies in them for each of us and of course, the wine list. Yes, that really is one serving of Macallan 50yr Scotch for $1145. I had to take a picture - I could hardly believe it!
After leaving the restaurant, we walked over to the acrobatic wonder of a show, Le Reve. It was a lot of fun and the show was incredible to watch! JP and I even got to play a tiny part of it with the clowns! JP and I ended the night with a good talk on the porch, overlooking the moon shining into the water.... ahhh... what a day! :)
