After departing the hotel in Williams we travelled through a small town called Seligman which is on the famed Route 66.  The rest of the day we spent driving through the desert for lunch in Las Vegas.

After arriving at the Excalibur Hotel Casino in Vegas we decided against yet another buffet (where the tour guide gets his for free) and opted for a quick bite elsewhere so we could get out and explore the strip.  We walked through to the Luxor which has the pyramid, New York, New York which has a small Statue of Liberty and Empire State and Chrysler Building and a roller coaster (all in the front of the casino).

We checked in our hotel which was Circus Circus.  Yes, it had a HUGE clown sign out front and few others within.  I had to do a recon through the lobby, then the lifts and corridors and then the room before it was safe for Sandie to go in.  Fancy booking a hotel called Circus Circus for someone that has a clown phobia.

We tried to get into one of 4 Cirque de Solei but all were booked out so we went for a walk to see the strip.  The time was 4pm.

After walking until 2.00am we thought we should go to bed.  $8.00 on the pokies, $20.00 on food and drink, $30.00 on souveniers. 

The strip was amazing at night and nothing much to look at during the day. Would you believe there are currently something like 3 new casino's being built right now.  Like they need more.
