This was a weekend in September – but better late than never! We had a great time, and only spent $100 on gambling… I had some luck on an ‘Amazing Race’ slot machine which had Phil talk you through the different screens and won $30! We also enjoyed the Big Wheel, and though I talked up the poker and roulette tables, I was never keen enough to drop $15 minimum bets! The wads of cash we saw, oh my goodness, it didn't look like a recession on those casino floors.
There is so much more to Vegas than the gambling as we found out:
The Bellagio fountains, day and night were my favourite:
We stayed at Caesar’s Palace and made the most of the pool:
Around the world on a 1 mile strip, we visited the hotels New York, New York, Paris and the Venetian. We saw Cirque du Solei “Zumanity” which was more burlesque than circus but a great show. I visited the 3 month old white tiger cubs at the Sigfried and Roy's zoo at the Mirage.
Ash’s birthday present to me was a glider flight over the desert – that was fun!
And then on our last day we took a helicopter ride to the Grand Canyon – what an awesome sight! We flew over the Hoover Dam and landed in the canyon for lunch. It was a hot day so we were glad to return to the air-con chopper for the return journey
We are off on our next adventure this weekend, Washington DC, so I'll try and update the blog soon after.
Wondered where you had got too! Photos are great! Have fun in Washington. Happy Thanksgiving!
