Breakfast as usual in the French Market buffet. It was noted that alot of kids dressed in football attire were all over the place which really presented no problem - must have been pee-wee football play-offs or something. I had previously asked the security guards as to the operation of the outside hot-tub. I was informed that the pools and hot tub were opened only on week-ends and that they would soon be closed for the winter. This was the second time they were in error. Although this was Thanksgiving Day, the pools and hot-tub were open and going strong. SOoo - I did manage to get in the hot tub at least once. Bottom line is if you wish to swim or soak in the tub - check the operation out yoiurself as employees are not always correctly informed. Our reservations for Thanksgiving dinner was in the Prime Rib loft of the Orleans. This was probably the nicest Thanksgiving dinner I have experienced in Vegas. The decor and tables were really set nice and the "traditional food" was excellent. Kes joined us for dinner which made it even nicer. This was her "going home" day so after dinner, we said our goodbyes. Our show that evening was Ann Margaret there in the Orleans. Her performance was mostly nostalgic reflecting her past history, but it was good. The unusal event in this performance, was there seated in front of us, (in the theater) was Debbie Reynolds and her escort. Her presence was noted by Ann Margaret. At the end of the show, Debbie Reynolds and her party headed back-stage and we headed for the entrance. This really concluded day #4. Day #5 follows.

Wendell - How great that you got to see Ann-Margret AND Debbie Reynolds!

Way back when I first started going to Las Vegas (in 1996), I went to see Debbie's show at her then hotel/theater/museum. After the show, I waited around to get her autograph and a photo with her. The photo was excellent and I made a Christmas card out of it. My friends and family still talk about it! One of my friends even had it framed!

Hey Mike - what a neat Christmas card!! Although she was seated right in front of us, we really didn't want to invade upon her privacy - but it was rather neat in getting "2 for 1" so to speak. She seemed to blend right in with the rest of the audience except when Ann Margaret recognized her.
