A Las Vegas Diary (Part 7)
Another busy day dawns. We got up nice and early and decided we would see the places that we have not yet seen – we started off at Paris. It was brilliant in there. Lots of lovely little nooks and crannies and the decoration was excellent… There was a lot of cafes with a lot of very long queues though! You could see the legs of the inside of the Eiffel tower, and there was a bridge you could walk across. I would like to stay here I think.
We went to M&M world and were there for ages – lots of different M&M toys, we got laura a poker set, a vegas dancing girl and a host of other tat. Then we went to New York New York, saw Times Square. I thought this place looked more interesting from the outside than it actually was!
For our lunch we went to a place called FATBURGER! Paul got a king fatburger, which is even bigger. Some man next to me was throwing loads of sauce onto his crisps, so I tried a tiny bit on a chip – ouch it nearly burned my tongue off.. I suffered for about an hour, but mostly in silence it has to be said, because paul thought it was dead funny and I did not want him to laugh at me any more than he already was! They had good T Shirts there which said “FAT is the new SKINNY” I wanted one, but they had none for sale – poo!
Went back to the hotel and got ready for our limo ride. This was booked for 3pm so we trotted out and then it pulled up – wow! It was like being a celebrity! Doors opened for us, everyone gawping! Inside the limo was so comfortable great big leather chairs, little drinks areas either side, there was even a TV and a CD player!
Our driver was called Ron – and he looked like something off reservoir dogs, all black suit and communication device in his ears! He had a great big list of all the famous people who had been in his limo! Mostly American stars of course, such as Paris Hilton and the like……………… He was great – we went down to the Welcome to Las Vegas Sign and he took our photograph (this was to turn out to be the “Official Trip Photo”) “gee, don’t you know Paul Barlow” ……………
then as we still had loads of time left he took us on a tour up and down the strip and showed us all the wedding chapels etc. I enjoyed this so much – it is nice to have a taste of luxury!!!
Even better, I was planning on paying for this with my winnings but Paul would not let me and insisted that I spend it on myself! Obviously I stashed this money away quickly in a safe place and would later buy myself my lovely BELLAGIO BLING cocktail ring as a souvenir! SHINY!
Paul decided to take the PDA down to the fountains tonight to tape the show, as it would be our last one. I was dreading this. Thankfully, the song they choosed to play was “Viva Las Vegas”, so I was very happy. Unfortunately the PDA did not “save” so we had to wait for the next song which was typically “Time to Say Goodbye”, I cried, I am not ashamed to say – it was very emotional! BOO HOO! However, I cried a lot more later in the night in the Casino when I lost my stake on the VP. First night I came home empty handed! Still, got plenty of Baileys, coffee and cream – so that cheered me up a bit! And so to bed.
Our Final Day In Las Vegas
Quiet day. Didn’t do much. Time to go home… Got up quite late, packed and I went down to Palio for a coffee. Paul met me later and we went for a walk around the pool. It was so lovely.
Next time we will have to make sure we spend some time in it. Checked out quickly and painlessly, then got in a taxi 3pm (fountains came on “time to say goodbye”, did not cry this time.
We were the first people to check in. Flight home was absolutely horrendous. I am not going to write about this because I want to forget it.
All in all, the best holiday I have ever had.
A definite 5* 10/10 A1 experience that everyone should treat themselves to.
