This morning we had a great lie in until 10am. We showered and got ready. Scott slept a bit longer so we lender up leaving around 12.
We walked down the Las Vegas boulevard. The heat was intense. It was 107 today. We stopped at an ATM then headed for food. We found a subway in the Fashion mall. We split a foot long meatball marina with some Doritos. It’s really hard to find normal food here that isn’t super expensive. Ah, Vegas.
We stopped into the Wynn hotel and casino. The lobby was an amazing arrangement of flowers into hot air balloons and carousels. Very impressive.
Next we visited the Venetian. It was exciting to see this as we had visited the one in Macau. It was quite similar but I don’t think we could navigate our way around this one! It was huge! They had canals outside with gondola rides which take you through the hotel. The hotels have had unbelievable amounts of money spent on them. Ridiculous!
We passed by treasure island and the mirage which had spectacular waterfalls.
Next we stopped in to see Caesars palace. It was huge, we were so tired we had no energy to see it all but the lobby was impressive and just like the movies!
We visited the Bellagio. As we left the fountain show started. It was VERY impressive and the noise alone was just wow! Definitely the best fountain show I’ve ever seen! Would love to see it at night.
We knew there were some more hotels at the end of the strip but we had already walked over 3 miles (so had 3 mile walk back), it was so hot and it was half past four. We decided to call it a day as my leg bones were aching (a weird thing that’s started happening when we walk lots).
On the walk back, we stopped into Walgreens to grab water. Then, we stopped into see circus circus (also for the air con). The adventure dome was so cool and had lots of fair rides including two big roller coasters! We didn’t go on any but I wished we had!
I started to feel ill with the heat so we stopped into cvs just for a rest, then continued our journey back. We passed so many homeless people, it was hard to ignore. Some of the signs they had made were quite funny though. One mans said “my girlfriend is locked in the toilet, I need money to get her out”
As we arrived at the stratosphere we saw someone doing the sky jump from the top. It looks so good! I keep contemplating doing it. After our visit to the top though scott has ruled himself out haha.
Back in the room, Scott and I had a bit of a disagreement over smoking. I decided to leave and went to the roof top pool. I bought a vodka cranberry and sunbathed here. The music was really good and the sun was still hot at this time (6-7pm). It was very relaxing. At 7:30pm I headed back to the room for a shower.
Scott and I decided to venture for dinner. We didn’t get far as we ended up in Roxy’s diner in the hotel. I had a chicken and avocado ciabatta with coleslaw. However, they brought me fries by accident so I got them AND coleslaw :). Scott had a shredded chicken Philly cheese steak with fries. The food was good but the diner had the waitresses singing loudly every five minutes which was a bit off putting.
We paid our bill as I convinced scott not to pay $7 for a dessert and to get something from mods. We walked up and got two fudge sundaes with cookies. We took them back to the room and ate them in bed. I was too full and could hardly eat mine, but scott had no issues finishing mine too! 😂
