Due to foresee-able but uncontrollable reason (major conventions in Las Vegas during our stay), I ended up booking a really expensive (to my standard anyway) hotel for our stay ($470 per night) - The Signature at MGM Grand, everything cheaper was sold out.
This is one of those hotels where the staffs see you they stop and bow (no kidding!) and they treat you like celebrities (with the price I am paying they better anyway). When our taxi pulled into the front gate a security guy came to check on our ID's and let us in - I have never stayed at anywhere with a locked front door, seriously. And then all the stopping and bowing started. To be honest, I am kind of used to it now!
Our room has a balcony and nice view to the famous Las Vegas strip. There is two plasma TVs, one in the lounge and the other in the bathroom! The other night I was washing our clothes in the jacuzzi (yes we have our own jacuzzi too and obviously I couldnt afford the celebrity priced laundry service provided by the hotel) I had the TV on and by the end of my laundry session my neck was so sore but I do love having the TV in the bathroom!
This morning we went to chill out by the pool. There are 5 swimming pools and a man made pool-river with a slight current. Nelson did the Hollywood thing and sunbathed by the pool and I went in to the river and swam along. It was actually quite confusing as the river was more than 1 mile long with waterfalls, tropical plants, and different themes here and there and I was never quite sure where I needed to get off to go back to Nelson. And every time I realised I overshot I had to go around the circle again as the current was too strong for me to swim against it. There were quite a few really hot chicks and I also saw some mafia looking men talking seriously in their sun loungers - they really dont look like the pool type but all their blings but they all have really hot girls with them.
We did the famous buffet at Paris (another casino) for lunch and had a walk along the strip before catching a magic show for the evening. In true celebrity style we even sat on the first row! Although Lance Burton didnt choose me to go up to the stage for the 'sawing you into halves' trick. I tried to think that I am too tall cos he picked this tiny tiny Japanese girl but maybe I am just too fat! Oh who wants to go up stage anyway?! Well I do!!!
Well life is actually pretty cool in the sin city. I guess the only sin we committed was that we havent been getting enough sleep! Every day finishes at like 2am but there seems to be so much to do and so much to see!
It is outlet shopping day tomorrow before we start a long drive to LA and fly the red eye to Quebec (man - I bought a French phase book back in Sydney and havent read A word!). I hope I shop up a storm - I havent been doing anywhere near well in that perspective!
