Vegas in Summer Part 2: The Other stuff


Friday the wedding party left so Jacqui and I went for a wander in 40+ degree heat up and down the strip. We saw such hotels as the Bellagio (nice) Excalibur (soo tacky) and the Paris (Jacqui's favourite) in a wander that took around 3 hours. We also explored the rest of Caesar's which was MASSIVE. We did not realise what a monster hotel we were staying in for the first two days :)



Then we had a nice meal at an Italian place in Caesar's and then we had the icecream. It was incredibly rich, expensive and tasty in equal amounts and Jacqui had too much. We're walking along the promenade and Jacqui is slowly getting greener and greener and looking more and more pained. So we start heading backing and she's less and less talkative and her breathing is getting heavier and heavier. We just get into the room and she dashes into the bathroom and removes the icecream from her vicinity well and truly. No pictures of that thankfully.

So the rest of the evening was spent chilling and not doing anything that required Jacqui getting up.

Saturday we did some more of the hotels and saw the fountains again and had a quite impressive buffet lunch in Planet Hollywood and before you knew it we were back at the airport. Arrived at 6 in preparation for our 8pm flight check in no probs, told that the flight was delayed a short time in Edmonton, not particularly worried. Turns out the plane was stuck in Edmonton for over 2 hours, yawn! I probably spent more money gambling in the airport than in the rest of the time we were in Vegas. But eventually the flight came and we got home around 3am.
Our thoughts on Vegas.

Too noisy too hot and pretty expensive. I would go again, Jacqui would rather visit Luton.
