Another beautiful, clear, hot and sunny day in Las Vegas. It was 33 degrees C for most of today and it was a pleasure walking through all the Casinos that we did!!
Here, the shops only open at 10am, so for us it is rather a waste of the morning, but it gives us a chance to do some updates, washing and generally getting things ready for the day.
We drove down to the Hardrock Hotel and had a good look around there. Dereck was in his element seeing all the music paraphernalia!
We then drove to and parked at Planet Hollywood. We walked through the Miracle Mile, which is literally a mile (1.6km) consisting of 170 stores and 15 restaurants. We did half to get out to the front of the hotel (and did the other half on our way back to our car later in the afternoon).
From there we went to the Paris. We went up about 477 feet of the Eifel Tower which was absolutely amazing to look up and down the Strip!!
We walked through Bally’s, the Flamingo, O’Sheas, the Imperial Palace, Harrahs and Casino Royale until we got to The Venetian where we wondered around the “Grand Canal Shoppes”. Every name you could think of was here, Louis Vitton, Channel, Rolex to name a few. We had lunch in the food court of the Venetian – Dereck had a chicken platter and I had a seafood platter – very yummy.
From there we walked around the Shoppes at the Palazzo and then went to the Wynn Casino. This place was very luxurious, even had carpets and marble flooring in the shopping mall! Dereck found a Ferrari shop and went into their display of Ferrari’s and Masurati’s. From there we crossed over to Treasure Island, the Mirage, on to Caesar’s Palace and wondered through the Forum Shops. This place was absolutely amazing.
We then headed off to the Bellagio and again every exclusive brand name had a shop here!
Just to put things into perspective – we left our hotel at about 9:45am and returned back again at about 5:00pm, and we only sat down for about 20 minutes when we ate our lunch. Both of us felt like we had walked a marathon, except we probably walked about 7km in all!!! With all the walking we are doing, when we sit, it hurts when we get up again!!! ha ha ha.
All the casino’s have a theme and have the main sightseeing features as part of their make-up. It has been amazing to see all of this, although I am now so over casinos!!!!
At about 7:30pm we headed off to the airport to fetch Douglas and Sue who were coming to join us for a few days in Las Vegas and then on our Route 66 road trip. Their plane was on time and we headed off back to the hotel and chatted a bit and then went to sleep.

Love the photo which resembles Venice's canals, only that the water is a beautiful blue here and probably does not smell like in Venice. Hugs from Desire
