Best Western Parkview Inn Las Vegas

... bikers in town for a convention), but not much happening on the roof. As we reached the other end of the street though, the lights on the casino signs dimmed, music started up and the show began. It’s a funny pastiche of “plugs” for famous Vegas attractions, dancing girls, photos of bands and historical figures, all projected up onto the inside of the canopy.

After eating dinner in the Bay City Diner (historic 1906 building), we went ...

... way to the reservations desk at the Flamingo which was right at the other end. We had to drag all our luggage through the casino. It was awesome though. I loved this Casino.

We were only staying for one night but got a cheap room for $80 USD.
We lined up at the desk for about 15 minutes. There were quite a few people waiting to check in.

When we checked in we were upgraded to a suite for the night. Awesome!! We were only staying ...

... in the plane went right around the strip and everyone on my side got a nice view of everything. You could also see the airport where we were going to land and other planes coming in on their glide slope, it was cool watching it all as we joined the back of the line to land.

The hotel is again nicer than I expected, I read on the notice on my door that the nightly rate is $300. . .I got it for MUCH cheaper, for my 6 nights it was only ...

... jpg/tpod.ht ml) But sadly, they didn't have any :(

Off to the airport - having a few coins in my pocket, I was going to blow them in the slot machines located in the terminal. But none of them took coins, only credit cards and bills, so the coins went unspent.

The flight was oversold, and an offer of a round-trip ticket to anywhere in North America was made to anyone who would give up their seat. If only I didn't have ...

... had decent drink on tap. No stupid ale or bud light... CARLSBERG!!! MmmmMMmmMmmMMmMmmMmmMmmMM. Several pints later Clarise and I headed across to a casino for a little bit of gambling. The roulette table took my fancy and my 2nd bet was $5 on 27. In rolled 27 and I had won $175 from that bet alone. It was enough to make it my favourite game. The best thing about the casinos is the free drinks. Waitresses will see that u are gambling and in a bid to keep you there ...

... what route I will take, and can only stay in one town for a short period if I'm to make my way back home any time soon. But that's okay, I'm looking at this trip as a sampler; I will try out a few cities and decide which ones I want to come back to! So with my backpack almost ready, and my bus ticket to San Diego purchased, I'm about to set off on my next adventure. Wish me luck!

... saying we were leaving California, just desert, desert, desert... Casino casino casino!!! It was instant transformation as we entered the gambling capital of the world. The highway thinned out a little and I found out that our little hire car can get up to 90 miles per hour with little trouble but I soon realised that was 25 miles over the speed limit so I stopped pushing it. Soon we were in Las Vegas and the colours and lights were incredible. No space was left untouched ...

... hnyt mutta tämä oli ehkä kovin show mitä olen ikinänsä nähnyt. Cirque de Soleil sekoittaa esityksiinsä kaikkea mahdollista hömpänpömppää ja aineksia etnisistä kuvioista, folkloresta, mystiikasta ja mitä näitä hienoja sanoja on. Ja kaikki kuorrutetaan huikealla akrobatialla, teknisillä silmänkääntötempuilla sekä näyttämö, valo- ja videotekniikan avulla tehdyillä efekteillä. Näissä Las Vegasin CdS ...

... I sat down at a nickel machine and systematically turned $1 into $25 and got a smirnoff out of the deal as well. At this point I was just about even on bets / drinks after that win. While waiting for the fountains to turn back on I found a 3 cent voucher on a table that was abandoned and bet on a penny machine, which I turned into a dollar. Winner winner, chicken dinner.

Since it appeared the Bellagio shows weren't showing the ...

... He was pretty excited when he opened it the following morning. Saturday bought about the highlight thus far - i went and picked up the red Mustang convertable at 7:00 and after brekky we headed off following highway 5. Trouble was we only had a map from the hire place so we ended up going north too far and had to turn back south and then turn west at the next major highway - probably added 2 hours to our trip. Once we hit the Pacific Coast highway we dropped the roof, then ...
