Holiday Inn Hotel & Suites Henderson E Las Vegas

... the ground. You are not allowed to use wood from the ground but charcoal and wood is available from the Store nearby (wood was $6 a bundle, enough for an evening fire). We took the free shuttle bus from the stop outside Mather campground to the Information Centre and got info on trails to walk. We walked along to Mather Point, only 5 minutes away. There were already loads of people there, the sun was going down but there were a few clouds ...

... and then it's off to get something to eat. We were going to go downtown tonight but it was so late by the time we unpacked we decided to do it another night. We gambled some in Harrah's and then went over to Casino Royale. We played penny Wheel of Fortune where Patty won $200.00. She didn't react and I said do you realize you won $200? She said ...

... Playboy club too! Didnt spend too much time in their as was a little quiet and full of idiots who loooved playboy so we headed to Ceasers to Pure - only to find out it was Hulk Hogans daughters birthday party (she has her own reality series over here?), hilarious got to see Hulk on stage!! Partied with everybody, we love it here! got in once again at 7am! I think we have done Vegas strip very proud! WOOOOOOOOOOOOOO - we took the place by storm and had the wildest time of our lives!!!!!!

... down in time... I call it not paying attention, hehe. Lights were on and we were pulled over. The first time Clarise had been caught speeding... OOPSY! Clarises first citation provided some light entertainment for the rest of the drive and we were sworn to secrecy to not tell anyone! Laughlin was packed... there was a bikers show on and they came out in force! The streets littered with Harley's, tents with plenty of alcohol and stages for the shows and what not. We ...

Watch this space we are still here! Finally time to sit down and try and explain the madness that is Las Vegas. Sue left this arvo (Thurs 24th) and I am flying across the country to a different time zone overnight. Anyways Vegas you name it and it is here! The Eiffel Tower, Venice canals complete with Gondalas, the collesseum, New York's skyline, Elton John, Donny and Marie, Bette Middler and Cher is arriving soon! Then there are the impersonators! We saw Whitney Houston ...

... 5 each. A $13 one day pass, or $29 three day pass. We decided we already wasted today, so we might as well get 2 one-way passes and we'll walk back, because this was ridiculous! So we zip down the monorail to Bally's-Paris stop. It was only, maybe, a 1 minute ride. It was nice. Then we exited the station. Here we go again with the bad signs! We followed the signs to the Strip out through a shopping area, which I ...

... on the top floor as we mentioned it was our honeymoon. The rate was ridiculously cheap! Sounds better than it was though. The room was so big that the bed was dwarfed and the room was just soul-less. I didn't want to spend a week in an airport-terminal-sized room shouting to each other! Plus these 2 Hotels were right at the end of Las Vegas Boulevard and would be quite a walk to anything else. We decided to head further up. Las Vegas Boulevard had completely changed since David and I ...

... not sure what was going on, but we got the hang of it after a while. Day three and Penna is still up. Brent and I not so much...... - We spent the rest of the day exploring the strip. We went into each hotel/casino and each played $1 on the pokies. On our walk back we were getting a little thirsty so we brought these huige massive cocktails that they fill up in an effifel glass cup thing. The ...

Again, we awoke at least twice to a house keeper peering creepily at us through the door. After the second time, we got up, got packed and left, we had a lot to do anyway. We left Richfield for a quick 100 mile dash South to Bryce Canyon. Our ultimate destination today, and last stop before we reach our goal, is Las Vegas. The drive to Bryce was very pleasant; through the hills, winding roads adjacent to white water rapids and wild animals ...

Well, I am going to Israel in 15 days. Have'nt been there in 3 years. I am pretty damn excited. But I still can't fully get it that im going so soon. I bought the ticket so quick... I found a great deal online for a round trip ticket. I was scared they would change the price any second, so I bought it. So now i'm home.. "home". home, yes it's home with my family, but this city is not my home. My flight leaves from LAX on Feb 18. so... see you soon L.A.!
