At Coca Cola World
Kirsty, Lauren, Marnee Myself and Kate with the Coca Cola Bear Temp: 39°C
We started the day early with our free breakfast and caught our bus to Las Vegas, Nevada. What better way to get a group to mingle then to make our first stop las Vegas!
When we got there the group split up into smaller group. Our group consistered of about 5 girls. The place we staayed at was just near Hooters and MGM Grand. So we ventured over there to have a look at the lions then made our way to coke world and we got a group photo with the Coca Cola Bear.
we walked around a lil longer, had some lunch then made our way back to the hotel to check in.
I was charing with Marnee of course so we had showers and got ready to go out for dinner. As Marnee was showing she discovered that the room was leaking from the room above haha. What a start!
We got dolled up then all got on the bus to head to an Italian Restaurant called Buca di Beppo.
By this time we had kinda of grouped off, on our table was Carl, hes from Cambridge, England, myself, Marnee, Scott from Melbourne, Lauren from Newcastle,
Hooters!
Me n Loz outside Hooters! Nathan from England, James from England and Steve.
We had our dinner and desert and headed off ont he coach again to d a drive up the strip at night.
We stopped off at the Vegas sign and all had our photos taken then headed off down and stopped at the other end of the strip at the Graceland Wedding Chapel. Many celebs have been married here including Bon Jovi. We went inside and they even did a fake wedding between one of the couples on our tour. Elvis got up and sang and everything. Good Times!
We then moved on to Fremont Street for the light show. We got there about 15minutes before it was due to start so Lauren, myself and a few of the boys vetured into the corner back to get a drink only to find that we got free drinks. Within that 15 minutes we had polished off 2 shots each and 2 drinks aswell as another as a traveller.
We watched lights show, very cool. It was Queen theme so 'we will rock you' was playing. Basically what they do is blast te music and project images etc onto the domed roof over fremont
street.
After this, Christina our contiki leader had organised us to go to the Palms to a club called Ghostbar. Very exclusive and on the 65th level. We were also provided with free shots of Tequila up until a certain time. The boys didnt come as the girls got in free but they would have had to pay $20 each to get in so they stayed downstairs gambling.
After this we moved onto another club called Moon. There was no olding back for the Contiki group. We got in and first thing first the whole group headed straight for the podium! And thats where we stayed until we left to go back to meet the boys. We all piled into cabs and headed back to Hooters where we stayed until about 5am. One story that did come from the night was that one of the girls got so wasted that she was cheelchaired out of the palms and 2 of the others girls had to take her back to the hotel.
What an amazing time we had and its only day 1....25 days to go!!
