Richard woke up with a huge headache, which wasn't from the drinking the night before apparently. It was the heat (dehydration) and not having any dinner. That's his story and he's sticking to it.
So we had a bit of a late start to the day. We wandered down the road to get another memory card for my camera (we have so many photos to show you!!) Then we went to a time share presentation that we got sucked in to going to. Actually, if it wasn't for the time share thing Richard may not have got up out of bed at all. We didn't buy it (but it sure looked good), but we got our US$125 worth of vouchers in the form of $100 spa voucher and $25 amex card that Richard was going to buy some drinks with (but that never happened - funny that). I really really enjoyed my massage, it was just what I needed before the flight home.
We went to Vegas! The Show, at Planet Hollywood. It was all singing and dancing, showing the history of Vegas, with a few entertainers in the middle bits (a magician, hoola hoop girl, balancing guys).
Then we had dinner at a Brasil style restaurant (lots of BBQ meat- yum) and walked up and down the strip.
This is looking down part of the strip. (There are lots of walkways over the roads, to keep the crowds away from the traffic.)
This is the Luxor Casino/ Hotel.
I think this is outside the New York, New York. You can see the huge roller coaster in the background.
Fountain show outside the Bellagio, just spectacular. The fountain "played" along to the song they were playing.
Inside one of the casinos. This is just a tiny portion of it. They are all so huge, and there are so many of them!
The flamingos at the Flamingo Casino/ Hotel where we were staying. Crazy. But then that sums Las Vegas up, crazy. So many places all trying to attract the thousands of people who visit to part with their money.So with the $125 vouchers and Al's (surprisingly limited) gambling we ended up $25 up. Apparently only 7% of people leaving Vegas make money, I'll take this as a win, yeah baby!
