Another great day and night in Vegas. We went out to the famous sign today and snapped some pictures.
We rode the roller coaster at New York New York - I don't think I breathed at all the first time but Gerard wanted to go again so we did. First time we were in the back and so we got the front seat the second time - amazing views - especially as it was on dusk and the lights had come on everywhere. It was such a cool ride - I even managed to catch the guy behinds glasses when they flew by - or rather landed in my hands!!
We went to the MGM Grand and they have lions in an enclosure inside - weird but very cool. They were just hanging out and sleeping but seemed to have a good time - still weird though. We went to M&M world - quite cool and also they have a Coke World as well.
We watched the Volcano explode at the Mirage and also the free outside show at Treasure Island - this was a bit weird but still pretty cool - ships moving and sinking and lots of dancing and fireworks.
We played the machines tonight - or rather Gerard did as I am not very good. He rocked on the wheel at Treasure Island and won $200 really quickly - we then moved on to the Flamingo where he lost $20 so quick I didn't even see it!!! We checked out the Flamingo - the pink ones outside were cool and the pool area and the chapel. We then went back and Gerard tried his luck at Excalibur but again not as much success as at Treasure Island - we should have stayed there!!!
This is our last night here - Nascar comes to town this weekend so things are getting busy and heaps more expensive - were thinking of staying longer but cant really afford it so may need to more on - although there is SO many shows that I want to see.
There was a really cool black jack dealer in the casino last night who said that there are four things you need to do in Vegas - see the Famous Sign, watch the fountains at Bellagio, have a buffet and hang with him - we still need to do the buffet so may do that tomorrow!!!
