Vegas!

We arrived in Vegas slightly earlier as the flight landed early, got a taxi to our hotel!

Driving from the hotel we began to realise how big everything was! From the airport you can see the famous Sphinx and the pyrmaids you also can see the other hotels. The driver didn't drive us down the strip so we entered the hotel from the back entrance. We are staying at Monte Carlo.

We spent the afternoon at the pool, headed down to the strip and found a restaurant, everything was calm, the sun was setting, dinner was great and then it hit us. After asking the waitress where the train station was , which she didn't know, we found out las Vegas Nevada doesn't have a station...but we have the train tickets for LA...from las Vegas New Mexico...three states away.

Panic struck!for weeks Rosina has been wondering why the train was going to take 20hours, especially as on the Hangover film they drive from Vegas to la in a morning. For some reason this was the one thing we didn't check and double check.

Thank goodness for the iPad! We found a coach that we could get to la, but we couldn't get hold of joy, the lady were staying with in la as we knew she was in vacation until the day we arrive (weds) so it was either get the coach which takes less time and attempt to find a hotel in la for the night, or travel weds and stay here another night. The rooms are great and the bed is amazing so we choose to stay here, some where we know and at least get a good nights sleep!

We had tickets to see cirque at 9.30pm, last night and had an hour to sort all this out, after getting back to the hotel, and the iPad, we then attempted to walk the strip to treasure island, it is so much longer than you would expect and so much longer than it looks, so had to jump in a taxi.

Cirque MYstere , was at treasure island hotel, the show was phenomenal. The tricks, and circus acts are so good, there are no safety harnesses at all , which kept us all on tenterhooks, but made spiderman look lame!!!

We then walkedback along the strip, went in the Venetian, caesars palace and the bellagio, caught the free casino tram back to our hotel!

Today we went site seeing, pictures to come as the wifi doesn't work to well



Off to dinner now at the cheesecake factory and watch the bellagio fountains!
