Leaving Las Vegas

Vegas has been very interesting to say the least. We have been staying at Bally's (www.ballyslasvegas.com). Its in the middle of the strip across from Bellagio and Ceaser's Palace. Got a wrong number on my $10 mobile phone and ended up with accommodation for 4 days for $109. Pretty cool. Did a time share tour for 90 min, said no, and then they gave us $100 for going! We've seen a couple of shows, but the stand out thing for Vegas would have to be the buffet's and the people going to the buffet's, that's a show in itself. I think some just go from one buffet to the next. The casino's themselves of course are enormous, and once inside are cities within themselves, with cobblestone pathways, shops, high ceilings painted like the sky with clouds that actually look like they are moving. No wonder you can get confused if it is day or night. We are also right beside Paris, a casino with a replica Eiffle Tower to exact half scale, incredible. Tonight we went to Stratosphere at the top of the strip, it has an amazing view of Vegas (www.stratospherehotel.com) along with rides off the top of the its tower with people hanging over the edge. Not a ride for you Nicky! Plenty of chapels to get married for $200, it amazes me how you can do that. And $1 Margarita's are going down a bit too well ... actually funny that they serve $1 Margarita's across the road from the Chapels. Are they in business together?
