Viera, Montelago Village Lake Resort Henderson

... burn for 12 minutes to start a fire, but couldn't get them to light - had to resort to old fashioned matches and BBQ lighter fuel! Started up the generator to heat up chicken in the microwave but it stopped working after 10 minutes, a job for tomorrow to look at. We made a meal of salad and burgers in a bun and sat round the campfire. The temperatures dropped so it was cool but still OK to sit in front of the fire, it got dark ...

... bit ahead as far as gambling goes...that is amazing. Let's hope that continues. We will be playing tourist tomorrow. Trust me...Susie has the perfect tourist shirt...I'm going to be so embarassed to be seen with her with that shirt on. lol Good thing we will never see any of these people ever again!!! lol :) Well...it has been a long day...off to bed!!

... were 25,000 british boxing fans here for his fight on Saturday, so the atmosphere at the weigh-in, which was free to get in, was electric! We tried to watch the sold-out match somewhere, but it was only available on pay-per-view at some casino's at $50, just to watch it on a big screen. So we just had a few drinks, and a wee gamble on the machines. Alot of people weren't happy at Hattons performance. We were still in the MGM when the crowd came ...

... decided when 1 of the girls opened her bra up. She had pasties on but it was enough to see her take the $1k and give Whitney 2nd. We headed back to Vegas about an hour later and it was dark by then. The city lit up looked amazing! Next door to the Hotel was a pub called McMullards which was an Irish pub... we stopped off in there for a drink and low and behold... CARLSBERG on TAP!!!! I had found my home! The casinos could wait, I had found a pub in America that ...

... up so high it shounds like a jet plane. You wouldn't want to be drunk and playing the fool in there when it sets off! MGM has a live lion enclosure which I must say is absolutely dreadful, poor thing. Paris is like Versailles with the Eiffel Tour plonked on top of it. Sue and I found the heat a bit of a shock when we first arrived but soon got into the swing of things. We had almost 4 full days here and still didn't manage to get round everything. There are shows for ...

... looking up the most direct ways in and out of these stations. I'm convinced there has to be some secret walkways we could have taken. Bellagio Now that I think about it we arrived at the Bellagio just at 6pm. So it probably took about the same amount of time as walking. Good thing we weren't planning on trying to get a dinner. Marc put a dollar in a slot machine. I put a five. He lost about half of his and printed the ...

... mosaics etc. The last time I was in The Luxor was in 1998 when my friends Elspeth and Philip got married (with the help of Elvis and some Hawaiian girls hoola-hoolaing!). Elspeth was one of my bridesmaids at my wedding in Cyprus. Anyway, it was such a hilarious holiday so I was quite excited about returning to this Hotel again. I had so many brilliant memories of us all there together. However, I was soon really sad. The Luxor was all completely different. Well, it had been ...

... is super hot over here, well in the 30's but walking the strip todaywe did not even sweat which was weird. Back home it would be a different story. The other end of the strip is a bit older and not as nice as were we are staying, but I sure it is a place that can still be trouble!!!! - This afternoon we were going to go to the pool but itwas packed with drunk college kids dancing around ...

... replied, "Oh yeah, he is on the inside." Ok; don't panic, he is just hanging out, probably tired, needed a break from flying, he doesn't want to hurt anyone. "Evan. Go kill it." But in despair, Evan couldn't reach back that far because of all my belongings stuffed in the back seats. Suddenly, the smart-ass bee, who probably had been listening to our conversation, decided to play some games, as in fly around inside the car near and next to our ...

Boulder Dam, Lake Mead, Valley of Fire We traveled with ten mile boots yesterday and had a wonderful time. The weather was quite comfortable. There wasn't an excessive amount of traffic. Outstanding day. Driving first to Boulder Dam, I shutter bugged as much as I could. But, because I suffer moderately with vertigo; looking over the side of that great structure was daunting ...
