New York New York Hotel & Casino Las Vegas

We started off flying into Las Vegas and stayed firstly at New York New York, a real Vegas experience!

Waking at 4am, we were weighed at the airport so they could decide what side of the plane they would put the ballast. This little plane fits only 12 people. We flew first to Bryce Canyon and then to the Grand Canyon. What a spectacle!

Okay i've got 4mins to write this (time on computer) so i will try and write as much as possible and therefore mind the spelling.

So los angeles was a tad crazy, hollywood (where we stayed) is not the safest place...in fact la is quite rough in general and hollywood is actually a nicer area. Beverly hills and bel air/holby hills however is beautiful and quite nice really green, beutiful houses and great shops...both upmarket and medium (which is hard to find in los angeles)...ahh only...

Okay i got more time (expensive to just go on the internet)



LA - so yeh we went on a walkign tour around the houses, it was quite amazing to see them but didnt see any celebs (except for jennifer aniston driving her car...from behind though and didnt get a good look and the two girls form the glee show and lorenzo lamas on a huge christmas thingy and he waved adn cheered at me cuase i was screming his name lol.)
LA was really sunny and warm quite a smog over teh town and yeh...

Walking through the Excalibur and NY NY Casinos Instead of going street side right away. I knew there would be more to see if we walked through the connection to the Excalibur. There is a nice indoor path that leads between our casino and theirs. On our walk we found a Krispy Kreme, a 2 for 1 Buffet (2 - 6 pm), a store full of dragons, and a confusing casino. Eventually we found our way outside and across the pedestrian walkway that leads across the street to NY NY. We decided we had time to ...

Cirque du Soleil 'Zumanity' Review Location: NY NY Time: 7:30pm Seats: Section 202 Row H Seats 10-11 At 6:30 we decided to go over to the Zumanity theater. We figured they would have the doors open. Turns out we were wrong. They didn't open the doors until 40 minutes before the show started. We were in our seats a little after 7:00pm. I regret not looking at the snack bar a little closer; we could have used another one of those frozen ice drinks. 7:15 The pre show started. It was great! Super...

Finally, a chance to spend some more time in Zion, rather than just passing through. And with Springdale right on the outskirts of the park, it makes it easy to access early. With the off season, there is very little on in Springdale and we can't see the IMAX presentation on the park. Not only that, it proves a little difficult to even grab a carton of milk for a quick bite on the run. But, in a last gasp, we get something. The visitor's centre at Zion is pretty busy, which is a fair effort f...

After a well needed sleep, we were up at 6.00am watching the Brazil v Australia game - such a fantastic game! Disappointing that we lost, but played brilliantly against the #1 favourite. Venturing out the of the confines of our hotel we decied to walk the strip, having disregarded the weather reports we discovered the weather was a little on the hot side, actually boiling would be a better description. 105 degrees farenheight or 37deg, and the air was so thick you could chew it. Never the les...

Day 1 Well the 12th of December finally came around and as we said our see ya later to all of our families it was the beginning of the queues. First we had to queue to go through customs, then security and then a second security station because we were travelling to the USA. After that we boarded our Qantas 747-400 for our 12.5 hr flight to LA. So we left Australia on the 12th of December at 12:50pm and arrived in LA on the 12th of December at 7am, almost 6 hours before we began. Anyway back ...
