Viva Las Vegas

Hi there! Well we got here in the wee hours due to a very long train ride, from Chicago.....Anyway so here we, and WOW!!! This place is large, flat, and over the top with lights and power usage. Have done the strip in the day and at night, of course the nocturnal time is best. The fountain at the Bellagio Hotel, the Volcano show at the Treasure Island Hotel and video screen at the Aria....all with the WOW factor, and then there was Caesars Palace...DOUBLE WOW!!!!! You walked into this casino and the opulence and decor the MONEY spent on this place, then you walk into the restaurant and shopping malls....it's been done to look like your walking in the evening in the piazzas of Italy the ceilings are painted with clouds and its dimmed, unbe-bloody believable..... Its hot here, which makes it great for us, as its meant to be summer, as for Chicago it was cooler. The Stratosphere Hotel is lovely, we're on the 14th floor looking out at the tower with the bungee jumping rope from the top of the tower, the rides that over shoot the top (see pics). The view from the top at night was also breath taking (see pics) Tomorrow we pick the car up?!?! And start our road trip across to Hoover Dam and then the Grand Canyon, so watch this space. PnD xx
