Viva Las Vegas! We arrived in Vegas on the 21st December, we're staying in the Monte Carlo hotel on the strip, it's all totally amazing. Bright lights and big noise everywhere. After seeing some of the most remote places in Australia it's a total culture shock. We've spent the last couple of days just walking around in a daze looking at all the different hotels and the things they have to offer as well as doing some gambling of course. We went to Mystere by Cirque de Soleil last night and it was totally amazing. The acrobatics and ability was just breathtaking and we sat open mouthed for most of the performance. I would definitely recommend it.

It's Rich's 30th today and we've spent the day on a helicopter trip to the Grand Canyon, we flew over the Hoover Dam, Grand Canyon and then landed on a ranch in the desert. It was pretty cool, we saw singing cowboys and had a go at horseshoe throwing and lasooing. We spent the afternoon looking around some more of the amazing hotels and then this evening we're going for dinner, drinks and gambling. Tomorrow we fly to New York and Eva flies home :(, we've loved having her share this with us and it's been great to catch up.
