Thanksgiving Day started with breakfast at my favorite breakfast place. Afterward, we hopped the shuttle over to the Strip and Walgreens for some 1 hour photo processing. (On a previous trip, the airport X-Ray machine ruined film and the camera was damaged also) so we now use throw away cameras and film processing before we pack. While the film was being processed we strolled down to the MGM and did a little shoppinng along the way. (The lions were not out at the MGM) After all of this, it was back to the Orleans and Thanksgiving dinner. Their buffet has all you can eat - turkey, ham, lamb, and all of the trimmings complete with wine and/or champaign. After dinner, it was "kick back" time before venturing over to Harrahs for the "Clint Holmes show. Those of you who have not seen this guy - should. This individual is really talented and can sing anything from Opera to Pop. I think the Review Journal voted him the best singer in Las Vegas. After the show, Maxine was tired and ventured back to the Orlens for early sack time and I ventured down to the Peppermill to see if any of the gang had dropped by. They had not, so I had cocktail at the bar and did a little people watching and called it a night. This has got to be the most "unique" cocktail lounge I have ever experienced. END DAY 4 - (TO BE CONT'D)

Wendell,

I've never had problems with cameras or film.

Was the orleans' buffet busy? My friends who live in Vegas went to Green Valley Ranch and had over an hour wait even with their Platinum Card which get you in the Comp line

Wendell,
Sorry we just couldn't get away, to make it to the Peppermill. Would have liked to see you one more time too. Vegas pulls you in so many directions, and I'm normally good about meets too.

Senator: The lines at the Orleans were fairly short when we went thru, howver; the later in the day, the longer the lines and they usually stay that way until 5:30 or so - you can't really blame the locals for coming out (I think it was $11.00 bucks a piece-you couldn't stay home and cook for that) Wendell

I'm not surprised you enjoyed Clint Holmes; I think he puts on a fantastic show, with enough variety that there is something for everyone.

I'm glad to hear you and Maxine and feeling better ... take care of yourselves!
