On the way back we stopped at Treasure Island, a Caribbean island themed hotel, which puts on a famous pirate show during the evening. The "plot" consists of two boats shooting at each other while bikini-clad girls run around, then one boat sinks. There are lots of explosions, so again not a bad way to waste fifteen minutes, but it attracts roughly 2 billion people, so it takes an additional 2 hours for the crowd to clear after the show. After struggling like a salmon swimming upstream, we surrendered and allowed the crowd to carry us into the casino, which was an expensive mistake. Somchai decided we needed to recoup our losses by revisiting the scene of our morning success, Caesars Palace, but we just kept losing. Threw a bit more money away while walking through the Bellagio casino en route to the elevator, and at this point we weren't even stopping to see the result.
