We flew from Las Vegas to Miami where we spent one night in a hostel on Collins Avenue. We were so knackered after being up since 3 am, that the last thing we needed were unhelpful and unorganised hostel staff, which we got! It was so bad that we upgraded to a private room so that there was so light in otherwise depressing circumstances. Luckily we had a tv so we were able to watch Debra Messings new sitcom, the starter wife, which is excellent, everyone should k...

After a 6 hour bus journey from LA Vegas suddenly appeared out of the sand in front of us, it was all a bit random!! We were staying a Circus Circus, at the South end of the Strip. We spent our first night exploring our hotel, which along with the casino also had an AdventureDome under a big pink metal tent.

We had a crazy hippy taxi driver who took us to our hostel, it was pretty ironic as we were in california!! We had booked into The Adelaide Hostel and Hotel, but when we arrived we discovered that all the private rooms were in the neighbouring Dakota Hotel. The hotel is pretty cool as it has the old...
