Stayed at the Luxor Casino on the 14th and 15th. While here we've had a Dinner Buffet for two as well as a Lunch Buffet for two. This was all complimentary because we play My Vegas on Facebook. We did have to pay the resort fee for two nights, so our two-day stay cost us just under $60.00....and we didn't even gamble, so we didn't loose any $$ either!!
Can't complain too much about that!
The Luxor is an amazing building. This huge pyramid, from the outside looks like it's made of glass.
Here are a few pictures of the inside. We were on the 16th floor.
The 15th was a busy day... We visited the 'Shark Reef' at the Mandalay Bay Casino. This too was a My Vegas buy. Two for the price of one. It's main tank has 1,300,000 US gallons of water. The facility itself is 95,000 sq ft. and houses over 2000 animals - over 100 different species of sharks, rays, reptiles..... Very interesting!!
So later in the evening we decided to go down to Freemont Street. I like it better there than roaming around the strip..... On our way we discovered that The "Pawn Stars" pawn shop was opened and virtually empty so we stopped to have a looksie. We were here once before and never got in because the line up was around the block.. Our lucky day!!
Here's a picture of Michel with Rick from the show - lol - only a cardboard cutout....They could almost pass for brothers...
Then onward to Freemont Street. It was bustling with people, bands playing on the corner of each street. 
We took in an Elvis show while downtown. Steve Connolly is the Spirit of the King and he was a very good impersonator. Small venue so no bad seats - and he walked around the crowd and involved them in the show. It was fun - and it wouldn't be right to be in Vegas and not see an Elvis show.... 
A little more walking after the show, then it was time to go back 'home'. It was a fun-filled day, and a long one, we didn't get home until 1:00 am! 
The Luxor by night.... we should be able to make contact with other planets with a beam like that - lol!
