USA: Nevada – Las Vegas

02.03.2008 – 07.03.2008

We were both really looking forward to going to Vegas and landing at the airport was an experience in itself – we hadn`t been to any other airports before which have fruit machines everwhere!! We caught a shuttle to our hotel which gave us a mini tour of the strip on the way. It took us ages to check-in at our hotel (Circus Circus) but we got there in the end. Our room was a bit shabby and we were disappointed with it. Luckily there was a problem with the plumbing and after a lot of moaning and complaining to our advantage we were moved and upgraded to a room in the tower which was just gorgeous! We had a great view of the strip from our room and a HUGE bed! We were so excited to be in our new room.

We went to just about every hotel in the strip for a good noseyt around and they were all just mind blowing – from gondalas at the Venetian, water fountains at the Bellagio and ridiculous rides at the Stratasphere – there was certainly a lot to see to be amazed by! Due to us trying to stick to spending hardly any money we were still eating the awful $0.99 McDonalds burgers as our stable diet and by now we were getting sick of them and feeling crappy for not having any decent food – not long now though!

We wandered around the shopping centre here and also went on the New York New York Rollercoaster – it was huge and terrifying to begin with but really good fun. We weren`t stupid/brave enough to go on the Stratasphere rides though!
