Saturday morning, Jonathan and I checked out and did the luggage-storage thing (I swear, I don't know why some people don't capitalize on that service!), then cabbed it all the way down to the Luxor. It's definitely one of the neater hotels we walked through... it has an Egypt theme, and the main building is a giant black pyramid! The ad on the front right now is for Transformers, but it changes.




We went to the Luxor specifically to see Bodies: The Exhibition, which I've been wanting to see for a few years now, since I drove by it in Tampa several times (I drove by the building the morning I picked up my wedding gown, LoL). We waited in line for tickets for about 20 minutes, but that was only because they sell tickets to ALL the attractions at one booth... the actual exhibit wasn't that crowded.

Then we walked through the Excalibur, since there were a bunch of moving walkways leading that way. It's very King Arthur, but it was something to see. Then we headed back to our hotel, said goodbye to Jim and Vivian, then went to the Venetian for lunch and to walk around. We ate at Towers Delicatessen, where Jonathan had the corned beef reuben, and I had a grilled chicken-and-ham toasted sub. Wonderful place, but they served coleslaw with the meals, and it was sweet. Jonathan said that it was one of the leanest reubens he had ever had, and I'd recommend getting extra sauce on the sandwich, but otherwise it was a great place.




The Venetian was really neat. Accordion players, gondolas, and paintings on the ceiling. Italian architecture, columns everywhere, and all sorts of neat things to see. It was the last place we got to see before we picked up our luggage and headed off to the airport.
