This morning we visited several hotels/casinos and discovered their major exhibitions - the Mirage, Bellagio, and Wynns in particular. The size of these complexes is mind blowing. The Bellagio has 6000 rooms and was the first building to cost $1 Billion dollars. To Anne's delight there is the world's largest chocolate fountain designed by Jean Phillipe. In the afternoon we took our LinQ High Roller ride with an open bar with free drinks. Most of us had four gin and tonics in the 30 minute ride. One had to be escorted back to our accommodation. We won't mentioned who in this post! After a nanna nap we took our two hour Light Night tour of Las Vegas and the northern suburb of Fremont. Again the awesome displays that were presented was fantastic. Especially Fremont Street that has been covered with a high ceiling and with a zip line that whizzes from end to end. We returned to our hotel at 11 pm for a well deserved sleep. Tomorrow we head for Death Valley in California. It will take us three hours so a late start is planned. There may be no wifi until San Diego ... so perhaps our next post will be in a couple of days. Cheers.
