After a morning of parades, M&M World, star sightings, and hanging out by the pool--in was beautiful and in the mid 70*s--we headed to the Flamingo for our Donny and Marie show. Shelley had her photo taken with Donny as soon as we waked in. She's an Osmond stalker.
But alas, it turned out to be a sad afternoon when we found out Donny and Marie had canceled their show for the evening! Shelley HATES Vegas and really only agreed to go in a moment of weakness when the Osmonds were promised to her. We weren't sure how she would handle the news, but she seemed to be okay. There were no breakdowns in the middle of the casino or anything, so off we went to MARGARITAVILLE to let the healing begin.
And heal we did. Delicious dinner. Some of us sampled the world-famous margaritas. Delicious!We tossed around several options for shows to replace Donny and Marie, but let's face it....there is NO replacing Donny and Marie. So we decided to go back downtown to play a little more Texas Hold Em and celebrate St. Patrick's day with all the people from Kentucky.
How do we know they were from Kentucky? Well...we don't really. They could have been from Arkansas. All I know is there was a group of them, and they were sporting mullets and missing teeth. Mary Beth was quick to point out that instead of a trip to Vegas, perhaps they should have scheduled a trip to their dentist to get some teeth!!!
We saw this guy too...he would pour alcohol right down your throat for FREE if you walked up to him and bent your head back. No. We didn't. Half of Vegas had already had that thing in their mouths!!! Please. We do have our standards!
While Mary Beth, Shelley, and I all lost a little money playing poker, Mom was over at a keno machine WINNING--she does that a lot, and it sort of gets annoying. But then she'll make it right by buying us slushy drinks so...Notice how tightly we are all holding ours. Don't want the mullet people to try to snatch them!
As you can see, we are enthralled with something. I'm saving the pictures of just what that something is for tomorrow. Come back. It'll be the last Vegas photo installment!

It should be noted that the ONLY reason I posed by Donny was at YOUR request. I object to being an Osmond stalker!!! It should also be noted that our Kentucky friends DID partake of the leprchaun's bottle of fun. All the more reason for our group to just say NO.
Our friends from Kentucky were sampling the green drinks that evening and they should have saved their money for the dentist.
Shelley - you should invite Donny over for dinner after service on Sunday. I bet he would come.
