Forum Shops at Caesar's Palace

We went to check out the shops at Caesar's Palace. Don't know how these shops stay in business - we didn't see anyone with shopping bags. And it's easy to understand why, at these prices! I found a lovely pair of Jimmy Choos. Cute as they can be. Adorable. Costs $1,500. Not going home with me.

Caesar's Palace has made some changes, trying to keep things fresh. In one of their large atriums they built a stage populated with good animatronics, themed in Medieval Fantasy. The Dragon behind the King's throne is kitschy, but overall it was still well done. 

And the base of the display is a round aquarium, full of pretty fish and stingrays.

Caesar's Palace has expanded a lot since we first visited it. They have more shops than ever on three stories. Everything in Caesar's is attractive, even the stairways. The big curved stairway at one end is really a curved escalator.

Outside the lights were coming on and the sidewalk acts were starting. Most are pretty bad, a few are OK, and occasionally someone is really good. Today the good act was a group of 5 young men, dancing in coordinated sync to Michael Jackson's music. 

For dinner we went to Silverton Casino, very near our RV park. Saturday they have a Polynesian Buffet. We figured it must be good because there were a lot of Hawaiians in line. And we had a two-for-one special, so it seemed like a good deal. What we didn't know was that a huge group had just been seated, and every seat in the restaurant was full. By the time we realized there would be quite a wait, we had already invested a chunk of time, so we decided to wait it out. We were in line almost 1 1/2 hours! It was not worth that, almost nothing could be, but actually it was a good meal. And their prime rib was excellent, which is really unusual for a buffet.
