Ok Ok Monster Vegas Post with Shiny Pictures Part1: The Wedding

Apparently I was supposed to say more about Sin City, well I suppose I should. We went down to Vegas for Jon Kirk's wedding to Victoria Slight for those of you that know them:) We would have probably got round to visiting the place some time in our lives but the wedding brought those plans wayyyy forward.

So we arrived on the Wednesday night after leaving work at lunchtime and a 3 hour flight, not too bad. Turned up at Vegas, walked out of the airport into a hot air blower, like you get from the vents outside shops but only this was just a fairly cool intro to LV.

A simple minibus ride later and we're at the hotel Caesar's Palace, well swanky, and in total touchdown to room was less than an hour, a nice result all round. We also got upgraded without asking and the room we got was really nice, there will be a pic or two of that.

Wednesday night we had a meal with the wedding party from about 10-12, which was nice but quite expensive, it was in Nero's though a really nice restaurant.

Jon just before the ceremony.
And the next morning was the wedding, and blinking flip it was hot, around 45 degrees I think. It was held at the little chapel of flowers which was a nice little place and the service was tasteful not what we expected from Vegas. However the chapel was located across form a BK and next door (although luckily protected from) an adult cinema :)

After that:- wedding breakfast / lunch and then a tour round the multi-thousand dollar wedding suite that Jon had wangled for a fraction of that. And a perfect view of the Bellagio fountain display that goes off every 30 mins.

Evening was a bit of gambling and socialising then we headed for bed.
