Amazing!
I must say, it's always so curious when foreign travelers say they want to go to Las Vegas and Los Angeles, since for us Americans, those are the last places we visit. And for you to do it all the way from Sydney--mind-blowing. However, it seems you found very exciting things to do and squeezed lots of pleasure and amazing experiences out of it--congrats! Glad you made it to Red Rock Canyon for some balance.

Hit by lightning
I reckon you must have been hit by lightning to fly over the Pacific and back for a handful of days Rachael...or maybe it was the thrill of the chase...then turning around and heading back home again...or maybe you really wanted to be blinded by the brightest lights on the planet...or maybe deep down you are a gambler!

Trapped!
I visited Caesar's Palace once, and couldn't find my way out. In order to get out of the casino, you have to pass through the gaming area, and once in the gaming area, there are no straight lines, and NO exit signs. God forbid they ever need to evacuate the building in a hurry. I would set my eyes on a security guard - there are lots of them - walk to him, ask directions, and walk to the next visible security guard. And of course there are lots of bright lights to tempt you to leave your money with them rather than walk away.

Big Beautiful Scary
WOW - I always think about visiting somewhere like Vegas and spin out at the sheer human volume......now red rocks on the other hand - going to add that to the wish list :)

Food. Glorious food.
Hi Rachael. I'm always a little worried for people who photograph their meals but I have to admit they look delicious. Sylvia and I rarely stay in Singapore any more. It is too sterile. We take a taxi to Johore Bharu across the strait in Malayasia. It's like Singapore was before it was cleaned up - and the food is just as good.

No planning, no research
It was rather freeing wasn't it? So what country will you eat your why through next? Maybe you need to ask Anthony Bourdain if he needs an assistant.

Lights and delights!
What a feast for the eyes and palate, and how great to have guides who knew their way around the exotic dishes. I looked up some of the dishes you named, but for Mee kerang, I only got sites in Malasian. Whatever, the noodles look delish!
