After almost 4 weeks away we came to a decision - the amount of money we were spending in internet cafes we might as well buy ourselves a netbook or something so that we can log on to the internet using the free wifi which is everywhere. Decision made, we asked the concierge at the hotel for the best place to go and she suggested the largest electrical store on the strip, and told us how to get there. We got the bus there and eventually decided on a tablet computer which was a lot cheaper than the cheapest netbook. The bus took ages and it was boiling hot outside, so we spent hours getting there and back.
We met T again at New York New York hotel for a ride on the rollercoaster at the front of the hotel! Before the rollercoaster we had a quick drink in the Irish bar inside the hotel. We got talking to a bloke from Liverpool who has lived in New Orleans for 20 years. He must have enjoyed talking to fellow English people because he bought us all a pint! Nice bloke. We also watched a crazy old lady dancing to the band - obviously a regular!
Back to the rollercoaster - we had to lock our stuff away in a locker before getting on, but T kept his hat on, to the surprise of the guy operating the ride! The ride was brilliant, and whizzed around the outside of the hotel, past the statue of liberty, and there were a couple of big drops and a loop!
We bought yard-sized drinks and walked to the Bellagio to see the fountains, but the 2 songs were both classical - not as good as 'Your Song' from Saturday!
We went to try and find some cheap blackjack at O'Shea's casino. Dave sat down to play at a $5 table, but needed his passport as ID, so we went to Burger King instead!
We decided to head back early as I was tired, but we planned a night out in Downtown Las Vegas for the following night!
