Vegas-LA

Vegas was all and more than I expected. It certainly lives up to its reputation and could almost be described as a ' unique kind of beautiful'. Probably was the biggest eye opener for the kids as they had a constant barrage of people selling, sprinkling and enticing them to watch. 

Lets just say we have bought splat balls, fuzzy's and other side show alley 'trinkets' only to have them disintegrate moments later!! The casinos are quite unbelievable and of the ones we saw, favs were The Luxor and The Paris. For grandeur and absolute over the top extravagance, would have to be The Bellagio. The water show to music, amazing!! 

Took the kids up the Eiffel Tower, and even at half the height of the real one, was still mighty impressive and gave great views of Vegas and the surrounding desert lands.

Stayed in the RV park at Circus Circus and after 2 nights, had to say bye to our faithful travelling home and checked into the hotel for one more night. Was strange to be out of the van and still miss her. 

We also managed to visit The Hoover Dam and joined in the tour which took us 54 storeys down and under it. Mighty impressive, especially considering it was built in the 30's!! Incredibly impressive and very high!

Picked up our rental car yesterday and headed back to LA. of course we had to fit in some 'retail' therapy and managed to find some great bargains.. Lets say our feet will all be happy...
