North America » United States » Nevada » Las Vegas January 5th 2005

When we were coming to Vegas we were worried that we didn't have decent enough clothes for here, Fiona wanted a ballgown and I thought dress shoes would be needed, how wrong could we be, this place is full of gadgies man, everyone wears trackies and shorts and that, it's pretty sad to see at times. There were 3 people in our casino with oxygen masks and big cylinders on their weelchairs and that, not nice and they're still hitting the buttons with blind fury. We went down the strip tonight, it was amazing, the fountains at the Bellagio are something special and worth the trip in itself. The strip is mental at night, loads of punters, bright lights, everything you've seen on the telly and more. We wandered up and down then got a drink ... read more

We were up early this morning for our flight Vegas, even more stringant security checks here, shoes off and that, pleased to say we got through with nothing to declare. Vegas looks bizarre during the day, it's in the middle of no where, snow capped mountains then this city dropped in the middle of the desert. We got a shuttle to the hotel, it was huge and as soon as you walk through the door you're bowled over by the amount of tables and 'puggy machines', full of old people too, some of them on their last legs I tell thee, not a pretty sight. The hotel was amazing, a wee bit away from the strip but it was class, a huge suite, 70 lane bolwing ally, 14 screen cinema, 7 restaurantes, 6 stand alone bars, ... read more

Back from Vegas baby. Had a very nice weekend with the family. We were able to hit most of the sites you can hit with a 6 year old. Did A LOT of walking. Was very comfortable outside so enjoyed all the walking. We stayed at the Monte Carlo which was a very good location on the Strip for getting around. Even more so than New York, Las Vegas is a city that begs to be seen at night. Spectacular lighting systems and shows, the city is truly at its prettiest at night. We arrived on Friday early afternoon and immediately headed out. We went over to the Rain Forest Cafe to grab some food and check out its atmosphere. Great for kids. Then, we went and spent a little time in the M&M Store snapping ... read more

For the past few months, I've been getting antsy again. I don't get much time to travel, working two jobs and all, but sometimes you just have to get away for your own sanity. Well, sanity can sometimes be lost just figuring out where to go, at least for me. First I thought about going back to Japan. I had such a great time in April that I would love to go back. But after thinking about it, I wasn't sure I wanted such an expensive trip this time around. Staying in Tokyo, or even traveling around the countryside is a little pricey. So then I drooled over Around the World plane tickets, planning out all of these exotic destinations which I knew I could never afford, nor have the time to visit, I just wondered ... read more
