Las Vegas - Day 3

This welcome sign used to be on the outskirts of Las Vegas, but with the way the city has built up it is right in the middle. It is the most photographed sign in America.

We went to New York-New York Casino and the MGM Grand Casino and these are some of the pictures of them. At the New York-New York Casino they have a huge roller coaster. We decided to go on it. It is extremely high and will post these details later as I don't have them with me now. It was quite scarey as you go right up and then drop and you also go upside down.


In the MGM Casino they have a Rainforest Cafe and we decided to have some fun with pictures with their props!!


{Dereck} Was very temped to hire one of these beauties, but as we already have a car ... :-(


For lunch we went to the Harley Davidson Cafe. If you are a Harley fan, you would be in your element in this Cafe - stunning!! Had a great lunch and I had a glass of Black Oak Johannisberg Riesling (yes, it is spelt correctly!)

Freemont Street Experience in Downtown Las Vegas where they have a covered roof with a massive video show on the roof every hour. We took a video and will upload when we get a chance. Very impressive. This is the older part of Las Vegas before the casinos on the Strip were built and is certainly a hive of activity. At 9pm it was 34 degrees C. We then went to the Palms Casino which is where the Playboy Club is situation. I wanted to buy some undies, but at $150 (R1500) there was no way!!!!!

Stripped and experiences gining off .....

I have really enjoyed looking at your photographs, brings back memories when we drove from SF to Vegas in 1999 and then we stayed at the Luxor, the lifts go up in each of the 4 corners so you seem to be going up sideways :) We will be in Vegas again in November so Im sure we shall see big changes.
Enjoy the rest of your trip, look forward to seeing more pictures. Just hope when you get to UK the weather is fine for you, we have had a glorious week this week with lots of sun, but I think its on the change:(
