Today we went hiking in Red Rock Canyon. We started off at the Calico 1 parking lot. We did a geocache (multi-cache) that took us from the bottom to up on top of one of the ridges. Cache was back in a box canyon hidden by some trees ... felt like a "secret" spot. That took us more than two hours.
Then we drove around the rest of the park (stopping here and there for pictures).
Back to the hotel. We then went to "Le Cirque" at the Bellagio for our anniversary dinner. We had a bit of time to kill so we saw a water show out front (classical music) of the Bellagio. Water show was so good Margot almost cried. Then had to kill more time ... lost $5 at the penny slots.
Le Cirque, like Fleur-de-Lys in San Francisco, is another top french restaurant ... maybe we will go to another one for our 30th anniversary Definitely not the type of meal you can make yourself at home. Everything was amazingly good and a work of art. Margot had lobster saffron risotto appetizer, arctic black cod on mashed fingerling potatoes with grapefruit sauce, and meringue pear white-chocolate gold-leaf masterpiece for dessert. Stewart had heirloom beet salad (that was a work of art), venison with huckleberry and quince, and coconut gelato type thing served in a hollowed out coconut. To be honest the price for what they serve ($98 per person + wine) is pretty resaonable especially given the level of service.
