Holidays Reviews — Wed, 14 Jul 2010 08:37:21 +0000

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 [...]

Today we decided to go up and down the strip on the Monorail! You just buy your ticket out of a machine and can then go up and down on it all day for the grand cost of $11. Can’t complain at that! Mostly the monorail was quiet. We initially jumped on at Bally’s and [...]

Got up quite early today to make sure we got to the front of the queue to go on a gondola in the Venetian. We firstly stopped off at Caesar’s Palace, and luckily we timed it just right and managed to get to see the Animatronic Show “Fall of Atlantis”, which was funny. He had [...]

Today was particularly busy. Booked our Grand Canyon Trip with reception for 11am tomorrow morning. Then we went to the MGM Grand. “Grand” is an understatement. I think this has to be the biggest place I have ever seen. I believe it has over 5,000 rooms! We walked and walked and walked! Stopped off at [...]

Got to the Hotel, which has to be seen to be believed! Saw the million dollar blown glass ceiling – wow – and just like about 10 million others I took a few photos! Luckily the “Check in” was not busy, so we got seen pretty much straight away. Found the room, 5060, I was [...]
