Hawthorn Inn And Suites Henderson

... and I traipsed through the casino looking at the different restaurants until we decided on the sushi place, Sushi & Sake. The place was pretty much empty. We sat at the sushi bar and had some great food. I was even brave enough to order sea urchin (Uni). It was quite good...not fishy, but rather tasting of flowery ocean water. The sushi chef had mistakenly given me Unagi (eel) first, and he let us have it anyway, and it ...

... walk back down to the dam and get some photos of the lower side. The water level seemed to be fairly low down judging by the marks on the side. There was an anti torpedo net located just upstream (though it could just have been an anti pollution thing, but you never know!) Onwards on the road, I watched as the fuel meter steadily dropped as the V8 engine dragged 4.5 ton of motor home along. By the time we joined I40 at Kingman, the fuel ...

... to the car rental place. Long line for the shuttle but it went quickly. Go to Dollar and waited just a little bit then got our car. It's a PT Cruiser or an Avenger. I really wanted the PT Cruiser so my sister was nice and said okay. Exit the car rental place and a couple of right turns later we're on Las Vegas Blvd. Today's drive was pretty easy ...

... eventually got a savage view of the pool and gardens! Went back past Paris to get a delightful pastry and went to New York New York to ride the coaster,was hilarious as sooo rickety but mental turns and dips! Headed back to luxury for a nap round the pool then off again four out of 5nights - woah all good now we had slightly re-charged our batteries! phoned Encore and got onto the guest list for the newest club in town XS! Was the bomb....had huge swimming pool in the middle ...

... hotel and pine trees (unless ur delerious I guess) but u do see water. Entertained me for a while trying to get photos, simple things eh? As you reach Boulder City, Casinos start to pop up and you know your getting close. The way we came in is higher than Vegas itself so I got some great views. It doesn't look that big from up near BC but have to remember how far you can see away u can see in this area. It's all do with the flat lands and being little to no ...

... there were very genuine and the service was very authentic. I can't say it's among the best production I have ever seen, they had a number of projection issues on this day, but their character and authenticity more than makes up for it. At the end of the service we popped out real quick because we wanted to hit one more church. Don Miller was a guest speaker at another church in Hollywood. Miller is one of ...

... etc. We decided it would be a good time to try the monorail. Even if it was only for one stop. Well, this was potentially a stupid idea. For one, we didn't look at the map I have of MGM-Grand. I thought, for sure, there would be good signage that would point us to the monorail. I was wrong. It took ten minutes to walk to MGM-Grand. Which wasn't bad. What was bad was the signs to the Monorail take you all the way around ...

... nightlife. So, we headed out to the House of Blues for dinner (in the Mandalay Bay Resort) before throwing away some money on the slot machines. I only had $12.00 to spend on the slots, so we hung out at the penny slots. Not much luck at Mandalay, so we then headed to Luxor, where, after placing in my final $2.00 bet, I won $32.00! Not bad for a penny slot!

... het te donderen en te bliksemen en valt er regen in een kleine fontein. En daar komen de mensen naar kijken ... moeten ze maar eens naar België komen. Daar regent het genoeg! Wanneer we tegen half twaalf terug op de kamer komen, is het er stil. De bar van waar de luide muziek en het lawaai van mensen afkomstig was, is gesloten. Dat is dus een goede zaak. Wij kruipen in ons bed voor een goede nacht in Vegas.

... was starting to worry about missing check-in. My woes were not yet over as, after managing to persuade people to let me to the front of the queue, the new attendant told me that I needed to produce my Mexican immigration slip, which I could not find, or could not board the plane. I scrambled through all my belongings, and could not find the small piece of paper anywhere and was told that I would therefore have to go down to the Immigration office ...
