Spring Break trip to California and Nevada! - Day Four

Switching hotels, leaving Flamingo and going to Delano.

Goodbye Flamingo!

We headed over to The Mirage to go to the Secret Garden and Dolphin Habit.  We've been a few times, but Tessandra enjoys seeing the dolphins and the big cats.

The LOVE bus!

We stopped at Bellagio to see the Conservatory.  There was a bit of a line, as they were limiting the number of people in the Conservatory.

We got to Delano a little after 3:00 PM.  I was supposed to pick up my keys at a kiosk, but I didn't see any in the lobby, so I had to wait.  Pool time needed to be reserved, so I put our name in at 3:34 PM and hopefully we'd be able to get in.  At 3:50, I received a text that our pool access was ready, so we got changed and headed down to the pool.

When I stayed at Delano before, I knew that Tessandra would enjoy the pool area, but with COVID, the main issue was the limited access to the lazy river.  There was only one point of entry with limited access, so we spent a fair amount of time waiting in line, but one we got in, we had an enjoyable time.  I bought Tessandra a pool ring to bring (as opposed to paying for a rental).  It was a bit too small for me to use, but it was nice to have.  Even with the limited pool access, there seemed to be fewer chairs available, but Cath watched our stuff while we were in the pool.  After about an hour, we headed to the wave pool, which was a bit less crowded.

My Delano reservation had a $50 F&B credit, but with COVID, the restaurants were pretty limited.  We ended up walking to New York New York to have dinner at America.  We got there around 8:30 PM.  We passed through Luxor and Excalibur, and I saw parts of Luxor that still have the Egyptian theme.



We had a wee bit of a wait at America, but we finally got it.  Service was a bit slow, but the food was decent.

We walked back to Delano and Cath and Tessandra went to bed.  Since we were staying, I decided to put in some play.  I got the myKONAMI $25 Free Play reward to use, plus my $20 Free Play from my room offer and I headed down to the casino.  There was only one person at the slot club booth, so it took a while to get the Free Play loaded.  No natural royals, but I did hit this:


I had some thought about going for it, but it was the right play.  After about an hour of play, I headed back to the room.
