Is this Vegas?: top things to do when you don't feel like gambling
Thursday, August 09, 2007
Few people grow up in families where their parents literally drag them to make the annual, nay, the tri-annual trip to Las Vegas. I am one of these few.
For this type of person, a visit to Vegas becomes a completely different kind of vacation.
Gone are the booze, the gambling, and other various vices. Without them, Vegas can be, well, actually pretty interesting. Here, from me to you, are my top picks. Cheers! clink.
1. The good thing about Vegas is that you can travel the world without having to.
The Paris hotel boasts a mini-rendition of the Eiffel tower, even complete with long lines of people clambering to ride the elevator up and down it. Also, there are fountains, which are fun, and scantily clad cabaret dancers who will at random perform the can-can within the casino lobby. If cabaret dancers aren't your thing, you can also run next door into The Venetian and climb into a gondola and listen to that Pavarotti-look-alike sing you excerpts from Puccini.
2. If Verdi or Puccini doesn't mean a thing to you, Jean Philippe had better.
Nestled in the corner of Bellagio hotel is Jean Philippe's patisserie, a high-end bakery of sorts with glistening desserts too pretty to eat.
And, oh yeah, the world's tallest chocolate fountain brimming with white, medium and dark chocolate. It is slightly reminiscent of a Kandinsky painting -one that makes you want to climb in and swim in it, but then of course you would get arrested.
3. Dorothy fell asleep in a field of poppies in Oz. You can find your own in the lobby of the Bellagio. 
as Time to Say Goodbye, and New York, New York. It's worth watching at nighttime.

With 2,000 hand-blown glass poppies by artist Dale Chihuly. Marvel, then go outside and catch a musical water fountain show-which is literally water choreographed to tunes such
as Time to Say Goodbye, and New York, New York. It's worth watching at nighttime.A last couple of honorable mentions: the buffet at Wynn hotel. Once you have the mouthwatering tri-tip and bite into the chocolate mousse brownie cakes you will be glad you are alive.
And lastly, Mandalay Bay's shark reef aquarium has sawfish. Enough said.
