After Napa Valley, Yosemite and Death Valley, Las Vegas was a complete contrast. Absolutely mad place! Such a busy spot with so much happening, so many weird buildings and people.
Because they make so much from gambling, a lot of things are actually quite cheap. We stayed in the "castle" below on the Strip (the main street) and our room was just $40 a night in total. It was a massive room, with a King Size bed and a jacuzzi in the room (yes, not in the bathroom, but in the actual bedroom!) We also had a great view overlooking the Strip. Also, we were offered $125 in gambling/food/drink/spa vouchers just to go look at a new resort that the Casino was opening. We went along, picked up the vouchers and left without even looking at the resort :)
And when you're in Las Vegas, you must see a show. We wanted to see a comedy so the host suggested a particular show that was apparently the most popular with couples. We were very surprised when it started with 8 girls singing and dancing and then half-way through the first song, they whipped off their bras and left them off for the remainder of the act. There weren't many jokes (apart from the male host in between songs/dances). We think the joke was on us :o Conor didn't mind so much.
Johnny, we never knew you were in the gambling business!
