I started day 2 with breakfast at NYNY - bagel and coffee.
I'm a googler at heart, so during my down night, I googled ways to get around, cheap places to eat and all of the casino maps. Those are really helpful when you're trying to find the connector to a tram or other hotel. There are signs, but a general idea of your direction is helpful.
I walked over to the MGM Park and took the free tram to the Bellagio. The main highlight there is the Conservatory. At this time it celebrates Japanese Spring. It is small but very colorful and creative. The Bellagio was modern and posh. All of the displays were very detailed and artistic. Huge hotel with expensive, high end shops. Then I went to Caesars Palace and the foru
I went over to the Flamingo to see the Flamingo habitat and catch the monorail ($5/trip) to the SLS.
If I come back, I'll try to stay at the Flamingo. The pool looked great and it's central to most things on the strip. The LINQ promenade is one one side and Paris is on the other. And there's a monorail station. All pluses.
The SLS was fine. I had to walk from there to the Stratosphere. I had bought a Groupon for the 3-course lunch at the Top of the World restaurant. It's 840 ft high and revolves. It was a very nice lunch and I was fascinated with the views. All mountains. I would stay at the Stratosphere if it weren't in a dodgy part of town. There's a lot to do there.
After lunch I walked back to the SLS and took the monorail back to the MGM Grand and walked back to the Excalibur for some room time.
