Day 3 part 2

Back out during the evening to return to the Legends Show at the Imperial. We'd added the buffet option to the show tickets - it was only $8 each extra. Sadly the meal itself was probably worth half that!

The show, however, was much better. We had great seats, a booth this time, a few yards from the stage. 'Jay Leno' was the compare. He did some stand-up, then introduced 'Barry White'. This guy was very good - similar looking and a very good voice, so deep!
Dolly Parton was next - how does this woman keep standing!
The Temptations came on next and did a long medley of their hits.
Finally, Elvis took to the stage - his quick change actions allowed him to do moody leather Elvis, Jailhouse Rock Elvis and finally on to Las Vegas Elvis. Great singer and he had all the moves. Did he look like him, well... personally I was reminded of Guy of Gisborne with all the eye liner.

However, he excelled himself by performing American Trilogy to finish - great way to sign off!

After the show, Elvis and the Temptations were in the lobby for photos

We walked back down to the MGM Grand along the strip - the fountains at the Bellagio were working again now the wind is dying off.

Back at the MGM Grand we did some more slots - I increased my $22.50 dollar voucher up to $39.26. Not bad, although a guy won $26 odd on my machine 3 rolls after I'd finished my turn! Grrr...

Now "S" in this case i would have expected one of two responses:
" if the perpetrator of this heinous and pre-meditated crime" was smaller than you:
a) "Oi pal i was still on that, look i dont wanna cause trouble so we will just split the winnings"

If he was larger than you:
b) "Ohh congratulation Sir very well done, i was just on that myself, oh well done Sir im so happy for you"
(Of course all this being said through gritted teeth)
