Itos and I made a promise to each other that by hook or by crook, we were going to go to the Madame Tussauds Wax Museum that day. We were suppose to go yesterday but because we were distracted with other activities, we decided to postpone it till tomorrow. So we woke up bright and early and got ready. According to Itos, when she was in Amsterdam, the line to the Madame Tussauds was so so long that she did not get a chance to go in. So, in order to beat the crowd, we wanted to make sure that we were among the first to arrive. Yay! We got there early and there wasn't a line even! wohoo!! Also, we managed to get student priced tickets (all thanks to my CLC student ID). The wax museum was fun and we took so so many pictures there (ambil gambar tak hengat!!!)...hehehhe...My favourite has got to be Johnny Depp. He looks pretty real. Julia Roberts did not look anything like her. When I first saw the was, I thought it was Hillary Swank, so go figure! We spent about 3 hours there. After getting some stuff from the gift shop, which by the way has really really cool stuff we went to the Venetian Hotel. As the name suggest, it has a Venetian theme to it. Hence the gondolas and the Italian art decor. It's really cool. Having been to Venice, it was fun to see the Vegas version of it. I must say they did a good job!
Most hotels in Vegas have huge shopping malls within the hotel itself and the Venetian has an awesome one. It is an indoor mall with cool architecture. Besides having a river flow through the mall (gondolas and all, with the gondolier singing), the roof of the mall is painted to mimic the sky on a nice sunny day. So when you look up you see a nice blue sky with pretty clouds. Look closely at the picture of me in the mall and you can see the sky. Isn't it cool? And the thing is, your mind gets confused and tricked into believing that you are actually outside when you look up to see the ceiling! I like. Then Itos suggested that we try out the Oxygen bar. You're suppose to inhale oxygen and then they give you a head, hand, and back massage. Supposedly it's suppose to rejuvenate your body (konon!). That I felt was something we had to try but would never do again :P Mahal woi! It cost us about $60 for a 45 minutes session. Ceh!
Later that afternoon, we went to the outlet mall for some shopping. Boy was I excited! You know me, always out there looking for a good deal. So outlet malls are like a slice of heaven for me. The outlet mall that we went to was an outdoor mall with rows and rows of stores such as Juicy Couture, Aldo, Coach, Armani Exchange, Fossil, the list goes on. And yes Shereen, you and I can shop till we drop there and camp overnight for more shopping the next day! We didn't have much time so we had to rush through the shops. *Aih* I am happy with my purchases. I got myself an Ed Hardy hoody and a Bebe t-shirt. I must say, I am very proud of myself for being able to contain myself and not buy too much! Granted that we didn't have much time...hmmm...Itos got a couple of good deals too. She got herself an Ed Hardy hoody too (kami kan kembar siam), sunglasses from Fossil, Armani Exchange t-shirt, and sandals from White House Black Market (Obama's wife Michelle likes dresses from here!).
Later that night we went to California Pizza Kitchen for dinner. I had some kind of Thai Spaghetti (tak sedap!) and Itos had pasta soup.
Again another great day in Vegas!
