Maybe it's true everywhere, but I know for a fact that in Las Vegas it seems like there are tons of Easter Egg Hunts. Today we went to the one being held at the Bass Pro Shops at Silverton Casino. We started off our experience with a picture with the Easter Bunny. There's a first time for everything.
The hunt itself was an interesting four hour affair where you show up anytime between 11 am and 3 pm. They give you a bag and tell you to find up to five eggs anywhere on the first floor of the store.
Now, this sounds simple enough on paper, but if you have ever been to a Bass Pro Shops, you know that this is no easy task. I think it is harder than finding the proverbial needle in a haystack. Bass Pro Shops is 165000 square feet! The actual Silverton Casino floor is only 90000 square feet. Only. No wonder they give you four hours!
We found one egg right away. But then we spent about 15 minutes exploring the first floor of this sprawling store. To add to the degree of difficulty, there were probably about 20 other kids looking for eggs at the same time. Finally, we took the one egg up to Easter Egg central and told them we had had enough. Ther were fine with that since you just trade in eggs for a spin of a wheel. Wherever the arrow landed, that was your prize. It is Vegas, after all.
Wouldn't you know it, most of the prizes were mini packages of candy, Sweet Tarts and their ilk. And of course, the wheel was probably weighted, so everyone seemed to land on the same candy space, including Zorah. Fortunately, when we explained to the staff that she doesn't eat that, they allowed her to go behind the wheel and pick a real prize. She came out a very pleased little girl with a new orange doll, pictured below. Zorah is modeling the doll along with a heart tattoo which she acquired at the park day hunt
At Silverton they also had an Easter Egg craft, which Zorah decided to take home. Here is the end result.
