Elvis lives!



Vegas baby!!

Whenever I think of Vegas now the thing I will remember the most is that it was hot Hot HOT!!!

I never thought I would appreciate air conditioning so much. A walk down the strip consisted of blazing hot sunshine then dipping in and out of the casinos to gasp for breath and get our hands on some ice cold water.

A clear favourite of the hotels had to be the Venetian. Venice recreated under a clear blue artificial sky with gondolas floating down the turquoise blue canal.



Other highlights included the pirate show at Treasure Island, the miniature Eiffel Tower at the Paris Hotel and mini New York. The fountains at the Bellagio were magnificent.



The winnings at the Bellagio, not so magnificent.



Overall Vegas was very entertaining. I have to admit I wasn't looking forward to the limo ride, I was worried it was going to be a little tacky. But turns out tacky can be more than enough entertainment. Especially when we had our own professional pole dancer to show us the moves. And one more thing... Elvis does in fact live. I found him on his mobile phone hanging outside the Venetian.
