Markus and I visited Madame Tussauds and I'll have to find where I put my CD of pics to upload them.
We did a bit of exploring our first day there before Shaune arrived. He wasn't very happy when we met up with him...the airline had lost his luggage. Anyhow, we didn't let that stop us from having a good time. We headed out that night and eventually found a nightclub that wasn't charging a ridiculous price for guys to get into. Girls get in free mostly heehee. One night I went clubbing on my own while the guys gambled outside. It was crazy inside! As soon as I hit the bar, one of the bar chicks leapt up onto the bar and started pouring vodka down our throats. Mmm...apple vodka. I think that's mostly what I drank there. Vodka. It's true what they let us think about Vegas...you really do go there to hook up. Guys were coming at me from every angle and seirously...within five minutes of being on the dance floor, I turned around and realised I was pretty much alone out there. Everyone had paired up and left. As I was dancing alone, it started to feel like I was putting on a free show for all the guys who didn't manage to hook up...so I left.
Another night, we all headed out to another club. Markus disappeared on us, which left Shaune and I stumbling around trying to make our way back to the hotel. This was no easy task - we were both totally shitfaced. We spent about an hour trying to find our way OUT of the hotel we were in. Everyone was giving us wrong directions!! Or perhaps we were simply too drunk to know our left from our right haha. We eventually made it outside and Shaune doesn't remember me hailing a taxi and getting back. He fell asleep in the shower while I fell asleep waiting for him to get out. I think he was in there for about an hour haha. Markus rocked up to our hotel room about 6am with Krispy Creams, bananas and water. He thought he had won some money in the casinos until he checked his bank statements muahaha.
I was really fortunate that the timing of my holiday coincided with really good shows. We got tickets to see 'O' and 'Ka' by Cirque de Soleil (however you spell it). I had my tickets to see Celine Dion *drool*. The show was so beautiful. We also found out that Drew Carey was in town doing an improv all stars show and we immediately bought tickets to that. Was hilarious!!!!
I did alot of fine dining alone...teppan yaki, Italian, steak houses, sushi. Anything to get away from all the fast food that was everywhere. THE BUFFETS IN VEGAS ARE AWESOME!! They have buffets that are like gigantic eating halls. I found a fantastic all you can eat seafood and sushi buffet...=P~~
Ok... in this collage there are some pics of/at various casino/hotels in Vegas. Shaune's showing off his winnings and oh it's such hard work gambling *wipes sweat from brow*. There's a sign that looked like it said '99c MEN' outside our hotel but if you lean over to the left, it actually says '99c MENU'. Woohoo!! 99c corndogs! I took Shaune and Markus to an all you can seafood and sushi buffet for lunch one day and I must have eaten at least as much as both of what they ate combined!! I've shown you all the empty jelly cups. MMm...jelly.
Shaune and I standing at the edge of the Grand Canyon. That's right! We hired a car and drove there. On the way we passed through the Hoover Dam, I had the best ever Chipolato (!??) Hot Dog at a self service petrol station with mustard and lots of jalepenos *drool*.The Canyon was magnificent. It stretches so far in every direction...with the haze it looked like we were just standing infront of a big billboard sign and any minute some guys would come along and take it away.
Breathless.
Las Vegas is definitely a place I would love to visit again. They're always demolishing and rebuilding larger and more extravagant casinos/hotels that it never becomes a stale holiday destination. Awesome fun for a girls trip away. I don't understand why people spend their hens nights or bucks nights there though. There's too much temptation =P
