So after LA we head to vegas in our slick white chevy cobolt....(its a lame duck). But after the 4 hour drive through the amazing scenery and straight roads of the Mojave desert we come to the lights of Sin city. It was a breath taking sight after 4 hours of the same joshua tress and rocky mountains over and over again to see the lights of the MGM grand and the Vegas strip.
Las vegas didnt let us down, the weather on the whole was good and the lights and the atmosphere were everything i had imagined it to be. Just walking the strip itself is worth every minute of the drive and so much more. But other freebies we took advantage of were the Belagio fountain display, the mirage volcano, the MGM lion habitat, the Fashion shows (The girls from runs house), the grand canal at the veniatian (a mock indoor venice), the flamingos, and of course the free booze whenever you sat down at a slot machine!!! ( we would play with $1 for 5 min get two drinks and move on to the next casino!!!)
While using this ingenius system we managed to win $50 dollars from 40 cents!!! So that was the next couple of days covered!!! We are dam lucky!! The next day on the 6 wheel I also won another 35 dollars from $1 dollar... again paying for the days ahead... turns out by the end of our time in the casinos and with the food, drinks, gambling and show we only REALLY spent around $75 over 4 days....not too shabby eh?
The show we went to see was the Mentalist....for the brits he was just like derren brown, a mind reader kinda guy, it was mind blowing! not to mention that i was pulled on stage for his grand finale....predicting the lottery numbers...it was amazing!!! (youtube him if u have a spare minute).
Ash did manage to drag me out of the city to both the Hoover dam (which again was a site that needs seeing to believe.) and to the Grand Canyon, which was petrifying....the area we went to was the one with the skywalk which is run by the native indians...who seem to have no regard for health and saftey....you could just walk right up to the edge where there was a mile drop straight down!!!! Oh and it was a rip off, those buggers!! But, macho aside i was nervous leaning over the side......(the photos show this and will add in OZ).
Anyway to summerize VEGAS ROCKED MY WORLD...i did a hell of a lot of woooooing and whooping down the strip..(was the done thing after midnight) much to ashs embarressment...hee hehehe.
Further good news is that the yellow coat has been put to retirement due to the improvement in the weather.....however an aqua blue zip up top has replaced it. (not sure where this neon fashion trend of ashs is going next but ill keep you posted). Its my theory that this is what attracts the bugs!!! (which ill never hear the end of!)
Right now we are killing time on Venice beach before we fly to Australia.... My time is running out yet again..so ill catch up with you all soon........
OUT.
