Day 3 Tuesday - January 31, 2012

This morning's breakfast was at Hash House A Go Go at the Imperial Palace. We have been before and liked their food so here we are again. Dave got a standard 2 eggs, bacon, potatoes and toast. I got the Grilled French Toast which included 3 of the biggest pieces of bread I have seen. I mean each piece was almost as big as my head!!!! We'll I ate my way through almost 2 pieces but after that I was done.
I had an appointment for a massage at the spa so Dave played some black jack while I did that. I was a little leery of how this would be as the IP isn't considered to be one of the best properties but the spa area was nice and clean and in the short time I was there, several people were in cleaning and such in the spa. The spa area has a steam room, sauna, jacuzzi, showers and all the amenities you could need. I received a 50 minute massage from Jarvis who helped with my sore leg muscles from all the walking we had been doing. He did a great job and a shower after the massage just made me feel so great and relaxed.
I didn't have much else planned for the afternoon so Dave and I tried a little bit more on some black jack tables but weren't getting anywhere with that so we went to Margaritaville and got some drinks and apps since we had plans for dinner later. We had the wings and the boiled shrimp and the shrimp were so good that we got more. We split another margarita since they were strong and it was still the afternoon. After this we decided that we head to the room and take a nap. Well, after lying down for a while, my stomach was upset and I was not feeling well at all. After getting up a few times to get sick, I was finally able to fall asleep but by then it was getting later and I was afraid I wouldn't be able to make our reservation but Dave was able to call and change it to 8:00 and I was able to get a little sleep and I felt so much better after that. I can't say if it was food or booze but luckily I was able to get over it in just a couple of hours and it didn't ruin our night.
Our reservations were at Jaleo in the Cosmopolitan. As we were heading that way we got to see another Bellagio fountains show which was different from the previous night.  Jaleo is a Spanish tapas restaurant and they have several good looking dishes but we kept it reasonable for us and we got Oysters in gin and tonic, creamy ham croquettes, king crab with a fine diced mix of peppers, tomatoes and cucumbers, spicy chorizio wrapped in potatoes and fried, tasty grilled shrimp and garlic and olive oil ice cream with grapefruit. YUM, it was all very good. Dave didn't care too much for the grapefruit but he liked all the rest.
Again we spent the rest of the night jumping around bj tables between a few places but tonight was clearly not our night and it was first day so far that we spent all of our budget and had none at the end of the night. Oh well, ce la vie!!!!!!
Tomorrow we are headed downtown for the rest of our stay and this where we hopefully spend more time playing bj since the tables are better and cheaper down there for us.
