As they pass through the Valley of Baca, they make it a place of springs; the autumn rains also cover it with pools. They go from strength to strength, till each appears before God in Zion. Psalm 84:6-7 他 們 經 過 流 淚 谷 , 叫 這 谷 變 為 泉 源 之 地 ; 並 有 秋 雨 之 福 蓋 滿 了 全 谷 。 他 們 行 走 , 力 上 加 力 , 各 人 到 錫 安 朝 見   神 。

Going to San Diego tomorrow... so good night, everyone.

The wonders of Aleve Cold & Sinus plus Sucrets made me feel almost completely healthy. Hopefully I'll have a good night sleep.

The effects of Las Vegas...

1. I got sick
2. I lost 2 lbs
3. I spent more money than I planned

Wow, they all point to the fact that I lost something... I like no. 2 =p

Last day in Vegas

We've decided to stay in Paris as we didn't really spend too much time in the great casino hotel that we've lived in. It's actually quite interesting.Here's the moving statue that surprised many people that walked by him.

The "Le Village Buffet"

Walk way to Bally at the end of the shops
Nice design on the ceiling
And here a million dollars in cash... this is real money
Have you ever seen a million dollars in cash?

More picture from Vegas: The Second Day

Some of us went to Bellagio trying to get our own fix of the buffet. Well, after we went to Rio first.
Here's Rio. It is rated the no. 1 buffet in Las Vegas according to some travel guide book. Well, folks, don't believe everything you read in those. In my opinion, Rio is not the best buffet. We went in and I remembered that I've been there before with an ok experience. So we took off and went to Bellagio instead.
The "O" Theatre. Too bad we didn't get any tickets this time. I've heard many great reviews for this show from all types of sources.
The Botanical garden in Bellagio. Some more pics follow below:


After the buffet (which was a measely hour wait tonight, heard it was about 4 hours last night), we decided to walk around to digest the huge amount of food that we had. And we found this interesting pile of large golden balls...So... we decided to have some fun with it. Hey, a little exercise after a big meal is healthy, right?







And below are more pictures of Paris Hotel earlier in the day:

Thanksgiving dinner

This is our Thanksgiving Dinner. "The Buffet" at Wynn...

This is the hallway where we waited in line to eat the highly anticipated buffet. Most of the people haven't eaten anything since morning because the drive was over 6 hours long and we didn't stop for food.
This is the view after 2 1/2 hours of wait... still some distance to go... arrrggh. I hope the food is really good and worth the wait!
This is after just a bit over 3 hours... our feet has crossed over from carpet to marble floor. Which means that we're closer than ever.
And... after 3 and 1/2 hours, we've finally paid and are ready to be sitted. But we had to split up our party of 9 into smaller groups so they can sit us.

This is the dessert room.
Prime Rib.... hmmm... kind of undercooked and under flavored
Alaskan King crab legs... just like Bellagio's, but a bit too salty.
The design... hmmm... reminds me of Bellagio
And the critical conclusion: take me to Bellagio next time.. even though I've had "The Buffet" there like a million times already...

Thanksgiving Las Vegas style?

This is a preview of the much needed vacation for me. Just a few days away from the madness of work and hopefully to relax and have fun.

Arriving in Vegas Paris Hotel and exploring Wynn

Paris, Paris, well, here we are...
First Group pic, Kevin, Jenny, Angie, George, Joyce, William, me... Glenn and Vivian are the photo takers. Almost everyone brought a digital camera, so they are quite busy.

The Room... hmmm, kind of small for a 5 Star hotel.
And we're having fun. We have 5 guys in one room and 4 girls in the other room.
Our first Casino visit outside of Paris: Wynn. I've never been here before.

And the shops in Wynn are done with very high class taste.

Here's Kevin and Jenny in front of Dior

And... can you say: "LV?"

As people say: What happens in Vegas, stays in Vegas... well, and it stays on my blog too.
