Farewell Las Vegas

Wednesday May 30, 2012

A city fit for the King of Rock and Roll
And whatever Queens of Pop they have these days - I can't keep up with that.
A place where the Jack Daniels flows freely
As the ten of thousands party
Till nine the next morning
Our flight leaves at eight but we've had an amazing time
Including a day trip out to one of the Seven Natural Wonders of the World.
At a depth of over six thousand feet in some points,
The Grand Canyon was a breathtaking five star out of five experience.
Our four night stay has gone by so quickly! 
I wish it was three more.
The Bellagio Fountains, Mirage Volcano, Stratosphere, Eiffel Tower, Cirque du Soleil's O, the lights, the slots, the atmosphere... And those two buffets, oh boy.
Vegas, you're Ace. See you in New York.

Fire and Water

Monday May 28, 2012

This city is really hot. I find myself at another McDonalds - this time at the one opposite Mandalay Bay. We've just walked in 30C heat to the famous "Welcome to fabulous Las Vegas" sign. Previously today we did the CSI Experience at MGM and looked at the sharks at Mandalay Bay, and yesterday went up the Stratosphere Tower, saw the Mirage Volcano and the Treasure Island Sirens, but the highlights of the city so far have been the Bellagio fountains and Cirque du Soleil's "O" show. Art, fashion, music, acrobatics and comedy come together in this spectacular show based in the watery stage at the Bellagio. Absolutely amazing and totally mesmerizing.

Tomorrow we will be taking a day trip out to the Grand Canyon!

Vegas, Baby

Sunday May 27, 2012

Our last day in San Francisco was pretty relaxed. Allison took us to this delicious sandwich place near the Castro called Ike's before dropping us at the airport. The flight was delayed and it also had to transit through Los Angeles so it wasn't until around 7.30pm that we landed in Vegas and around 8.30pm that we were ready to hit the Strip and find some food.

Vegas is amazingly colourful at night. As we walked down the Strip, we looked in awe at the massive hotel complexes and their accompanying neon light display, all lining the road in a brilliant display of fluorocolour awesomeness.

Also I'm at McDonalds using their wifi because the hotel doesn't have free wifi.
