We sauntered along the faux-cobblestone streets of Paris town taking it all in and window-shopped till we found a little place for a late lunch. The Paris sky was always dusky blue and the streetlamps were always on. (We'll skip the x-rated parts.) Like all Las Vegas casinos, there are no windows and no clocks … time of day just slips away. We're not gamblers, but Las Vegas offers much more and we set about doing the things we like best. Two days to relax, luxuriate and enjoy each other's exclusive company.

When we checked into our room and opened the drapes, we were gobsmacked with what we saw. The woman said “The best I can do is give you a view.” Well, she really did an outstanding job in that department.

We told them at the check-in counter that we were celebrating our 27th wedding anniversary. We snagged a particularly good Summer Promo deal on-line ($42/night!). Mary dropped us off around 11am and we checked in early. Okay … we only had two days to get away, so it was Paris Hotel in Las Vegas, but hey, it beats Paris, Texas, don't you think? Can you think of a more romantic spot to celebrate a wedding anniversary than Paris? La Tour Eiffel, L'Arc de Triomphe, croissants, wine, walking hand in hand, lunch at little bistros.
