Day 15

The song for today was viva Las Vegas. We got off to a pretty early start. We made an unexpected little detour to a little shop on the old historic route 66. The dudes were characters and the place was chokers full of charm. It was very refreshing. We stopped at Hoover Dam as well. This dam is huge, and gets fairly crowded to. One thing I must say is that the rest rooms on the dam itself were very neat and tidy. Some of us even got to feed the fish.

We made it to the hotel and went to our rooms for a little rest. This was of course after being flashed by someone when I was in the carpark getting my bags. Time to hit the town. We rocked on down to the Luxor, where we had a famous Vegas buffet. The only problem was I could only take on the one plate full. Shame shame. But the desert was heavenly. We went up to Freemont street the see the light show. A large area with lights in the roof. The show was fairly interesting, but the lights and scenery just oozed Vegas.

So after that was over we cruised the Strip and got out at Treasure Island. We watched the Pirate show, then the Volcano erupt at the mirage. The singing fountain and walked past the Eiffel Tower and many other famous casinos down to New York, New York (only in Vegas). Walked across the Brooklyn bridge (maybe one day I will walk across the real one : )) and saw the old girl holding up her torch. After walking some more and drooling over some nice cars for hire We settled on a casino and played the slots.
It is great having drinks delivered for "free" playing the machines. After a while I was a wee tipsy on my J.D's and a bit lighter in the pocket. But that is what Vegas is all about. Loosing money and having a load of fun. We walked back to the hotel and hit the sack at about 3:30.
