It's 7am on 5 August and we're leaving LV this morning.
We had hoped to do a show last night, but both of us - despite serious attempts to drink stacks of water etc - got too much sun yesterday morning and just crashed after lunchtime. One show I'd have really been tempted by is Australia's own Human Nature who have been performing here at the place where we're staying for quite some time now. Unfortunately they're not here just now - they're away only for a few days, but we missed them.
Anyway, we had dinner at the buffet here in the Imperial Palace - very nice - $18.99 each and there was soup, salads, mexican and chinese food, seafood, lots of desserts (although in the typical american fashion, they managed to look nice and taste nowhere near as good). For $39.99 you can buy a 24 hour all you can eat buffet pass which is good for all seven of the associated casino buffets!
Then once it got darkish, we went out onto the Strip - with thousands of other tourists! - to just look at the sights.
Saw the Bellagio fountains - they're just spectacular. Thought about waiting to see the volcano at the Mirage but it didn't seem to be worth the effort - to get a decent view we'd have had to wait for ages and the crowds were just huge. We ended up catching the very end of it at one point, but not enough to think that we'd missed much.
The most amazing thing is the shopping malls. We went through the Fashion Square shopping mall which is just gigantic, but most of the newer casinos have their own shopping areas within the casino and some of them are just astounding. I'd love to have had time to go through the Venetian's again - we just walked and walked and the shops never stopped! And of course the Venetian has the gondolas and the artificial daytime look and feel to it - it's done amazingly well.
May not post again today - the Tour Director says it's a 'repositioning cruise' day - just a day to get from Nevada back to California with not a lot happening. Will have to wait and see, because sometimes interesting things just happen anyway!
