I am so tired right now, just walked a heck of a long way, kept running into dead ends but i'll get to that later. Today has been a good day, weather has been perfect, about 65 degrees F which is about 20C. First thing we did today was walk to Mandalay Bay Casino, its an awesome casino very modern, looks great. We are having dads 50th birthday there so we went to book into the restaurant/nightclub, The Rum Jungle. When i saw what it looked like i couldn't wait to go there, as the name suggests, its a huge jungle themed bar. Once we had booked that in we caught a cab to planet hollywood which was a bit of an experience because you see....they don't have red light cameras over here. If they think they've been waiting at the lights for too long, they just see if any cars are coming and go through the red light lol. At Planet Hollywood, Mum, Dad, Ben and myself booked tickets to go see Peepshow. No its not a dirty hooker show, but yes it is a striptease done in the style of a Las Vegas Show. The Headliner, for those who
watch 'Girls of the playboy mansion', is Holly Madison (Hugh Hefners ex-girlfriend) can't wait to see it and those!!!! lol. Once we had booked those and reserved our seats we went and had lunch at the Hard Rock Cafe, it was great, food was awesome and lots of music memorabilia to look at. After lunch we split up, girls went shopping, boys went to hooters HAHA but hooters was very disappointing, really just like a small casino, nothing really to see. So we tried our next option and went to the Palms which is owned by Hugh Hefner, i can actually see it now outside my hotelroom window. Big Playboy Bunny flashing on the side of the building. The waitresses were so HOT! much better than Hooters. We played pokies and Roulette there and drank a bit. Now this is where my long walk comes in. Instead of catching a cab from The Palms to Excalibur we decided to walk to the strip and walk down the strip cos its a pretty awesome walk. After walking about 2kms, we crossed over the interstate to get to the strip but then got stopped because there was a grand opening of a
new hotel and they weren't letting anybody passed so we had to cross back over and keep walking down the interstate until we get to the next crossover...which wasn't for about another 3kms. You see from the palms to this crossover took us about an hour of walking. So we crossed over the interstate again, AND THEN THE SIDEWALK RANOUT!! we couldn't go any further because we would have been walking onto the on ramp. so we had to go back over again, cross the road and then cross over the interstate for the third time, finally got across and by this time we were pretty much at our hotel so it wasn't worth getting a cab so we walked the rest of the way. Now i'm so wrecked and thirsty. Need to have a bit of a rest before i go to the peepshow tonight. After the peepshow we're gonna go back to the bellagio for a bit. Tomorrow i think we're heading to the Grand Canyon, could be snowing which would be awesome.
Speak again tomorrow
