So, we survived the casino crawl in Vegas
(see previous post) and managed to place 14 bets on 14 different roulette tables with friends back home picking our bets. Good friends they are too as they helped us to finish the day $200 better off than we started it, which was nice.
After a day off to recover we managed to do a proper tour of the strip tonight and have some fairly nice photos to show for it.
We’re staying in the Luxor hotel , which is the big pyramid with the Sphinx in front of it and I hadn’t realised that the pyramid is actually hollow with all of the rooms on the sides. There are a couple of photos below taken from the balcony outside our room looking down into the middle of the pyramid which is quite a sight.
I played the honeymoon card again when I booked it so we have a corner room overlooking the strip on the 26th floor! This also means we have to take the special lifts which go to the top and have to travel at 45 degrees up the side of the pyramid. It’s slightly disconcerting being inside a lift which is going sideways as well as upwards but you get used to it.
Vegas is pretty much everything it’s been described as. It’s completely over the top and we both love it. Luckily, we’ve still got a few more days here.
