Vegas Baby...


What fun!

What a hoot! I've never seen so many people in all my life. You move a long like cattle down the sidewalk, or if you can catch the "Deuce" bus (that sometimes takes longer than walking but has air conditioning), you can sit in relative comfort and listen to all the tourists discuss their plans to get drunk, rich, or find their soulmate... NOT. oh, and did I mention that almost every single one of these people has a drink in hand? You can go place to place, in and out of every single establishment with alcohol, or whatever your poison of choice might be. Sounds like a great idea till you pay $17 for two 10oz margarita's LOL. DH and I kept it pretty low key, more often having a poweraid & water to fend off dehydration! 35-37 celcius everyday... Plus I do believe I have the distinction of going to the bathroom in almost every casino on the strip. Best - The Wynn. Worst - Circus Circus (yuk).

Our hotel was great. Pool, restaurants, casino, Cirque du Soleil all of it amazing. We went to "Mystere" (Cirque show) and the Blue Man Group. Very entertaining!!! I've also never walked so much in my life. Hours and hours. Good thing too. I think I probably only eat more food at Christmas time!! By the time you've got from one meal to the next you've done so much your ravenous... though we did manage to sustain ourselves on the more than $18 ($9/lb) of M&M's we kept in the room from the 4storey M&M store!! 28 colours, who wouldn't love that!?!

I can't even say what my favorite part was. Just being away I think. Sitting by the pool was great... dh loved the Coke store, the shows were awesome!! Oh - and I got hit on! At the pool, by a guy this time... I sent him away of course, but what fun LOL.
