Any u got any tips about hotels restaurants shows and so forth I would really appreciate. thanks http://www.travelblog.org/North-America/United-States/Nevada/Las-Vegas/blog-450001.html As promised here are some of the photo's taken by the guys who went by helicopter. Just to set the scene on Tuesday there were 60 mph winds on Wednesday it was only 40mph pah no problem hehehe It was a little bumpy to say the least and there was a least 1 green face as they arrivedI think you'll all agree the views are spectacular http://www.travelblog.org/North-America/United-States/Nevada/Las-Vegas/blog-449983.html A special treat for Ali and Natasha http://www.travelblog.org/North-America/United-States/Nevada/Las-Vegas/blog-449287.html Finally the day that Karen and Dave have been planning arrives and there are two significant things that hit us.....firstly Dave has had to call out the doctor as he had a fever HE IS OK but obviously with the day ahead he wanted to feel his best. The doctor prescribed some drugs to get him through the day...thankfully they kicked in pretty fast and he was able to enjoy the helipcopter ride. http://www.travelblog.org/North-America/United-States/Nevada/Las-Vegas/blog-449281.html We're in the middle of a desert....you're thinking hot humid and dusty......think again The temperature has dropped it is very windy and grey looking. Hmmmmm nevermind we are Brits and these things don't faze us Dave has also woken up this morning with a cold so he is having a pampered day and plenty of lemsip Our day begins with a eat all you can buffet in the Luxor we all did our best http://www.travelblog.org/North-America/United-States/Nevada/Las-Vegas/blog-448740.html Here are some photo's as promised....connection has been a little temperamental so bear with me http://www.travelblog.org/North-America/United-States/Nevada/Las-Vegas/blog-448723.html What happens in Vegas stays in Vegas http://www.travelblog.org/North-America/United-States/Nevada/Las-Vegas/blog-448669.html Finally after nearly 24 hours we arrived at The Luxor Hotel Las Vegas .....knackered sweaty and very very pleased. Frances was extremely well behaved apart from the take off from Heathrow in which she screamed the plane down but apart from that she was as good as gold Certainly too much excitement for her planes airports escalators wide open spaces to run and the discovery of dairylea dun http://www.travelblog.org/North-America/United-States/Nevada/Las-Vegas/blog-448653.html Viva Las Vegas Elvis not ZZ TopProbably the most unusual stop on our tour as neither Charlotte or I are gamblers This is not an environmentally friendly town judging by the amount of lights on our hotel let alone the rest of Las Vegas Boulevard. Good room in Circus Circus on the 24th floor with a view of the mountains and downtown. We go in search for a spot of dinner find THE Steak House e http://www.travelblog.org/North-America/United-States/Nevada/Las-Vegas/blog-447146.html Casinooooooos what a crazy placeQue stio mais incrvel http://www.travelblog.org/North-America/United-States/Nevada/Las-Vegas/blog-446100.html Monday was Columbus day here. A public holiday but only for some schools and some government depts. We packed up in San Diego and drove to Las Vegas. Once we got out of the populated areas we were into rocky dessert areas again then into the Mojave dessert which is a boring rolling hills dessert. We did see some Joshua trees along the way though. Then out in the middle of no where we came acros http://www.travelblog.org/North-America/United-States/Nevada/Las-Vegas/blog-445259.html Portland International Jetport...What a stupid name. Reminds me of The Flintstones or something.Anyway the flights on Jet Blue were good. People were complaining about the long flight 5.5 hours but I say Try JFK to Manila...about 18 I'll activate my Vegas Power Pass today and dig in to the local attractions. The food is great but very expensive. It makes NYC seem like ''bargainland.''. http://www.travelblog.org/North-America/United-States/Nevada/Las-Vegas/blog-445252.html After we left Gilmer and Steve's house we meandered around a bit then ultimately found our way to the correct rout out of LA toward Las Vegas. It was actually a pretty straightforward trip through the suburbs over the Sierras and through the desert. We arrived in Vegas well before dark and checked in to Treasure Island they had the bestpriced room on the Strip. After making it through regis http://www.travelblog.org/North-America/United-States/Nevada/Las-Vegas/blog-444563.html A place has never been more worthy of its name. Known as lsquoDisneyland for adultsrsquo this money pit is ready to swallow you whole. Bright flashing lights send you into a daze as you wade through numerous hands thrusting business cards advertising an array of illustrious women into your path . If you avoid the temptation of a yard of margarita for 5 then you will inevitably fall foul t http://www.travelblog.org/North-America/United-States/Nevada/Las-Vegas/blog-443831.html Anyone who has been to Las Vegas will think what they are about to read here is bog standard in the City of Sin. For us however it was a bit of a shock to the system. We headed to vegas to break up our 8 hour journey back to LA with our only other goal being to eat as much as we could for our 24 24hour buffet ticket at the Tropicana. We did achieve this in some style but the day would be r http://www.travelblog.org/North-America/United-States/Nevada/Las-Vegas/blog-443363.html
