Las Vegas

Saturday

Well it was time to hit Sin City. As you all know Davey is no stranger to casinos and my word there are a lot of them! The day started not too early (luckily given that yesterday was a big one) and we flew across the desert (which by the way is very different to our deserts, quite rocky and even with some lakes!) and hit a bit of turbulence as we approached Vegas airport (which I am told is pretty much par for the course). We jumped into a cab which took us to the Venetian Hotel right on the Strip. I can't imagine anyone wanting to stay anywhere else! We had a great suite - 2 king sized beds in a split level room, and 2 big screen TVs (not that we spent much time in the room!) Immediately after we arrived we spent about 6 hours wandering around the strip (save for an hour or so enjoying the sumptuous buffet at the Bellagio) and saw all there is to see. And countless guys (and the occasional girl) flicking cards with pictures of "escorts" on them. Classy. But really it was quite amazing (and HOT - over 40 degrees in our language). The live lion in the MGM Grand. The indoor outdoor area at the Venetian and Paris. Oh and the water show at the Bellagio. Davey has become quite the connoisseur of fountains!!!!

We did a little gambling (and no winning!), not much drinking, and probably could have spent several more days there just SEEING everything, let alone seeing any shows etc!

The above photo was actually taken INDOORS. We knew it was indoors because it was a pleasant 25 degrees as opposed to the 40 in the real outdoors!
