This morning we had nothing particular planned other than wandering through some more hotel casinos, so we started the day with a leisurely breakfast, then headed over to Caesar's Palace.
We returned to the Bellagio to see the Chihuly glass in the lobby ceiling and visit the conservatory. The ceiling was 'festive'. The conservatory's exhibit was well done and enjoyable.
We decided to spend the afternoon back at the hotel. Pam got in some pool time. I goofed off. We both packed so that it wasn't hanging over our heads when we returned from dinner.
We had a good dinner at Scarpetta in the Cosmopolitan Hotel. It was a reservation we had made before we started the trip based on its view of the Bellagio fountains. After the preceding evening at Picasso, we had no expectation that tonight's dinner or the view of the fountains would be better, but we did not anticipate either would be less good. The service was efficient and friendly. The food was good. The whole operation was too overtly mechanical. The view was terrible.
There was a horizontal window panes separator right at eye level. We noticed people at other tables also craning their necks, so it was not just our table location or our height. The cost of dinner at the two places was about the same.
The Cosmopolitan is apparently the 'hip' hotel on the strip targeting a younger crowd. The decor was themed accordingly.

Walking out onto the Strip after dinner, it was very active.

We hung out in front of the Bellagio for a while enjoying the warm evening, watching both the fountain display and the people passing by us.
Eventually we wandered a bit further along the Strip, then returned to our hotel for the night. We'd had enough of Las Vegas.
