1: Lions at the MGM 32 secs

from our hotel room, Pretty cool view in reality though
Shocked ourselves today - only had 5 hours sleep, Up bright and early and had a quick gamble then took another walk up the strip (Joe stayed in the room on the internet!)

Viewed Harrah’s, Casino Royale and then the MGM - My favourite! Went to see the lions, and then spent an hour or so in there gambling. We got the monorail back to save my mum’s legs! She decided to go back to the room for a sleep so myself and Nige played Roulette for a couple of hours won a little bit - Lucky number 2..! So went and treated ourselves shopping again!

We went and woke my mum up about 5pm, prised Joe’s hands off the laptop and took them (not Joe's hands - my mum and Joe..) back up to the MGM for dinner in the buffet restaurant, it was a lot better than our buffet at TI. Joe had a look at the lions here before we jumped on the monorail to the other end of the strip - we walked through Sahara- Not that exciting, then out on to the street passed all the wedding chapels and on to the Stratosphere (I

didn’t like that walk at all - not at all, lots of strange people - Scared me, Get a taxi if you go here!) We got our tickets to go up to the top, then told my mum we had tickets for the rides - (check the internet if you don’t know what they’re like, If you gave me a million pound a year for life you still wouldn’t get me on these! EVER!!) We eventually calmed her down and told her we were joking, got in the lift and shot up to the top. The view was awesome. You could see all over Vegas.

When we got back down it only took one of us to mention the word ‘taxi’ and the other 3 were in agreement quicker than my mum could say ‘cigar’.... So we jumped in the taxi, See the less glamorous (shall we say) side of Vegas - Birds don’t let your blokes come alone! Then came back to our room for some much needed sleep....

Excuse the photos today again...... and the blog being short - but was pretty much in the casino or the room today....
