Monday, May 7, 2012 - Road Scholar Program Day 2


After a buffet breakfast, we went to Bally's Hotel (formerly MGM) for a two-hour Back Stage Tour of "Jubilee" by one of the showgirls.   "Jubilee" is one of the most famous show productions in Las Vegas.

Afterwards we walked to the Paris Hotel where we took the elevator up to the top of the Eiffel Tower for a magnificent view of the surrounding city.

We had lunch at UNLV Dining Commons.  Afterwards we had a lecture on Entertainment Engineering by Joe Aldridge, UNLV Theatre Dept.  We learned what it takes to put on a huge production in Las Vegas. 

We had free time after a Dinner Buffet at Harrah's.   I wandered south along the LV Strip to the Imperial, Flamingo, Barbary Coast and Bally's.  I crossed the street to Bellagio (Dancing Fountains) and Caesar's Palace.  Back across the street to Harrah's and bed.
