A Magic Day in Vegas

Peter & I thought we’d start the day with a quick march down the strip to get some cheap show tickets for that night- how easy it is to forget how vast this place is! Our quick walk with only a little shopping & a quick coffee stop @ Caesar’s took 5 hours!!

As we are becoming Americanized we ate the remainder of our previous nights dinner for our brunch & then I hung out by the pool & the boys had a wasted trip to a gun club as it is so popular & the queue was too long!

Dinner was the buffet at the Wynn – the food was exquisite & good VFM; the following sign though confirmed for me that it’s the best buffet in town!!

Afterwards had a quick dash back to the Signature to waste yet more time trying to check ourselves in for our entire return journey & then onto MGM Grande to wonder at the illusions of David Copperfield – highly entertaining & a very witty performer & am in awe of most of his act

The boys then amused themselves on a roulette machine; I knew it was time to call it a night when some college boy came over to tell me I was exquisite & then wouldn’t leave – the weekend had begun in earnest for all in Vegas but sadly for us our holiday was nearing the end…

Vegas - It’s even bigger than I remember!

Today is our first full day in Vegas, so we have decided to hit the ground running. Tom and I will hit the strip and have some lads time, Sonya has taken advantage of the perfect weather and hit the pool to top up her tan. 

We walked some miles taking in the Ceasars Palace, Bellagio, MGM and the Cosmopolitan, meeting some very interesting people on our travels including Spiderman, Acrobats, a 10 foot Boa Constrictor, a Flamingo Dancer and about 12 Elvis’s! 

We returned in the afternoon for a well earned swim and a few Buds in the Jacuzzi...total bliss. The pool waitresses would also bring around free frozen Pina Colada’s, which was hard to refuse.

We retired to our Penthouses to prep for our evening entertainments, we started by catching a cab to the Premium Outlet Centre where we all had a great time picking up some bargains before returning to drop off the booty and then hitting the Hotel’s Cocktail Bar before going for dinner. 

We returned to Caesars Palace for Dinner at the Cheesecake Factory. The usual fantastic food with incredible size portions. (One American expression that we have learnt is - ‘Can we have this to go please’) - Dinner part two in tow we had a quick photo shoot at the aquarium at the forum shops before hitting the Casino floor searching for m/c’s that are begging to pay out!!! .......A hard job but we gave it a good go. 

Doesn’t time fly when you're having fun, at 2.30am we called it a night, but for day one we felt it we had given it a good go!

Time to charge those batteries, and hit it harder tomorrow!!!
