Sorry about the picture of a Moose - couldn't find one of Las Vegas, anyway you all know what it looks like!! You've seen the movies!!
So anyway we're here in the desert (or dessert?? not sure of the right spelling but i don't mean the pudding). We got a really good package to fly over here for a few nights from LA, we're staying in the Stratosphere which is at the top of the Vegas Strip!! We upgraded our room to the presidential suite they had going - its the biggest hotel room i've ever seen!!! Top floor looking out on the strip and has a jacuzzi in the bathroom!! V. Swish!!
Vegas is a wicked place, all the casinos run along a main strip with the hotels above them. Each one has rides, nightclubs, malls and restaurants inside them. You'd need like a month to do all of them (and an awful lot of cash!!). We saw all the big ones like New York, New York, Paris (which is in the shape of the Eiffel Tower) and Ceasers Palace (not sure if its really a big one but Friends was flimed there). There are also loads of wedding chapels dotted along the strip - next door sells wedding licences and hires out tux's and dresses!! We skipped passed those though!!
First night here we decided to do a bit of gambling (because that's what you do in Vegas!!) we threw our first $50 on the table........ and lost it in about ten minutes!! Stupid roulette table!! after a few more drinks ( v. cheap here as they like you to spend more money betting) we decided to risk another $50 - telling ourselves if we won we'll go clubbing!! But we didn't win, the money was gone in a few spins of the wheel!! No clubbing for us (very upsetting as i was told lots of celebs go to the club we were planning on going too).
We spent yesterday wandering around the hotel - took the lift to the Stratosphere tower which is 1,149 ft high!! They have rides up there that dangle off the side and shoot further up the tower to drop you down!! CRAZY!! We did not do those - instead we took some nice pictures from the observation gallery!! haha In the afternoon we got tickets to see 'Viva Las Vegas' very funny show, some of the jokes were a bit weird though - American humour i guess!!
Last night Dave took me out to Top of the World restaurant, its on the top of the tower and is very very posh!! It was voted one of the most romantic restaurants in America. Its on the 107th floor and you eat looking out to Vegas - but the restaurant spins slowly you see it from all angles. I would imagine if you were drunk it would be slightly dis-orientating!! It was a lovely meal though and we were STUFFED!! After dinner we decided not to waste anymore money on the gambling tables, much better to spend it at the bar!! At least you know your getting something back for your money! haha
Today we are flying back to LA where we're hopefully going to get a bus to San Francisco.
Will update you from there
Loads of Love
Lou & Dave xxxx
