Road tripping across the states to Vegas took about 6 hrs due to traffic. We arrived late thursday and checked into the Sahara Hotel and Casino. The rooms are not too badly priced for three of us as they just want you to gamble your savings away.
We got to our rooms and immediatly headed out to the strip to buy some cheap shoes as none of us had any to get into hte clubs with. After purchasing a 10 pound pair of rockport shoes and joe got a shirt aswell, from a store called Ross which is alot like the legendary uk outlet TK Maxx. We started the night with a good game of circle of death and the vodka and gin flowed. We were all feeling the vegas vibe and took a stretch limo down to the main area of the strip. Tangerine club was our first destination in the Treasure island casino (i think). We had VIP passes from our limo driver to get us in without the cover charge. To get good deals on your drinks we were told a few tips as to how to work the barman. Slip him a tenner or something to make sure your good for a few rounds with large shots, however joe accidently tipped him 100 dollars (he thinks) so we ended up pretty damn drunk! We left tangerine and headed for Tao in the Venetian. Everyone went straight in, except me. I was too drunk!?! I asked the bouncer why i wasnt allowed in, the only words he returned was that i was too drunk! The girls we were with then came back out and tried to convince the bouncer to let me in, protesting that everyone was drunk so why was i the only one not allowed in. This fracas ended in them getting escorted out of the club and i wandered off to find the restrooms. The problem with the casino's in vegas is that they are huge. They dont like to let you know where you are either, so there are hardly any signs. I was wandering around the casino floor looking for the exit and eventually found the girls and headed home with them. Rob turned up at around 6 in the morn after being in Harrahs casino with joe, losing him and almost taking a cab to the airport. Joe turned up at around 7 after he'd got lost in Harrah's thinking it was Sahara and trying to find his room on the 16 floor! He gambled away about 100 dollars on roulette and after he'd lost all his money, got told to leave the table.
The next day was a long one full of room service, lounging by the pool and watching films in the room. In the evening we walked around and checked out the other casino's like MGM Grand, tropicana, luxor, NY NY, paris, bellagio,caesars palace, circus circus, flamingo, harrahs and bally's! The fountains at the bellagio are pretty cool as is the exploding volcano at the mirage.
Our final day, i went to the 'Bodies' exhibition to view all the preserved humans and muscles, embryo's and all sorts, its pretty mind blowing if you get the chance to see it, although the diseased fetal embryo's are pretty hard to take. We then all went up to freemont st to checkout the older part of the vegas casino's. In the evening we went to the MGM Grand to have some foor at one of wolfgang pucks resturants and then watched a Cirque du soliel show, which was pretty amazing!
To sum vegas up, 'Vegas is an adults Disneyland!'
