Mum was off to vegas and when she was up here in burlington she asked me if i wanted to tag along and with nothing but a test to do the day i got back, there was no way i was going to turn it down.

My bed in Dulles
Well the trip got off to a great start, my plane was delayed leaving burlington. This meant i didnt make the connection in DC, the next flight wasnt until the next morning and because it was cherry blossom season in DC there were no hotels availible so i spent the night in the airport.

The Facilities
At least I found a good spot to sleep, close to the esentials. So after sneaking into the British Airways Lounge to pocket some breakfast for the next day, I went to sleep for the night. Unfortunatly i picked a gate that had a plane leaving at 6am so it was really busy by 5am. After crusing round on my wheelchair for a bit i found a new bed at the gate my plane would be leaving from.

It was a relief to finally arrive in Vegas, and this was the face greeting me as i walked out onto the strip. Good to see that aussies are even on the back of american busses.

The Mirage
I went for a walk up and down the strip while mum was in a meeting and the following pictures are mainly of the hotels i saw.

Hooters Casino
Boobs and BlackJack

New York, New York
This place looked like it belonged in a cartoon

MGM Grand
I went for a walk around inside this place, it was huge. The pool complex was a forest with all heaps of interconected pools.

The poolside snack bar at Caesars Palace
It dosen't get much cheesier than this

The sweetest lifeguard job ever.
Wouldn't mind working here.

Roman Fountain
This was inside Ceasars Palace. Mum and I had dinner at a nice resteraunt beside the fountian. The sky changed from dawn to dusk over half an hour.

The Mirage
This time with the volcano in the foreground

Pirate ship at Treasure Island
I had been told that while i was in Vegas I had to see the show out the front of Treasue Island. Unfortunatly the show was cancelled due to high winds but i got a picture of the boat.

The casio in the Venitian
The casios were crazy, flashing lights as far as you could see. All the casions were like this on the inside.

Venice in America.
This was the Grand Canal in the Venitian.

Paris
The mini Eifel tower in Vegas

The Bellagio at Night
Unfortunatly the fountains weren't running due to the wind, but the place still looked great.

The airport on the way home
There was even pokies in the airport. The trip to Vegas was great. After my flight home I did my java test and prepared for the trip to Boston that I was leaving on the next day. I'll have that blog up soon.
