Our last day and night in Vegas . We started with a final trip to the pool in the 110 degree heat. We could only sit for a few minutes at a time before having to go into the pool to cool off. The pool at the hotel was really nice though and they had the waterfalls switched on today for a shower while in the pool! After one trip into the water, we got back to the sunbeds to find that Laura's book was falling apart - it was so hot that the glue had melted in the sp...

As of today, we've been away a whole month - the time has gone by so fast! Today we woke up about 11am after our big night out and waited for T to arrive at our hotel. He had to check out of the Luxor but wanted one more night in Vegas, so we insisted he stayed with us on our pull-out bed. He eventually arrived at about 1pm after getting a late check-out (it must have been hard to get up and pack after the night before!) After giving him a quick tour, we all went...

Today we woke up late (again!) and spent a bit of time at the pool eating lunch. We got ready early and got the bus to the MGM Grand to meet T at the Lions enclosure.

We had some food at McDonald's (for a change) then went clothes shopping with T at a shop called 'Ross - d...

Today we finally made it to the hotel pool! We had a very relaxing few hours and enjoyed cooling off on another roasting hot day!

Food was ok, but not as good as at the Paris hotel the day before! The whole hotel is a bit dated and run down, full of empty shop units. The restaurant was quite nice and the ...

After almost 4 weeks away we came to a decision - the amount of money we were spending in internet cafes we might as well buy ourselves a netbook or something so that we can log on to the internet using the free wifi which is everywhere. Decision made, we asked the concierge at the hotel for the best place to go and she suggested the largest electrical store on the strip, and told us how to get there. We got the bus there and eventually decided on a tablet comput...
