roy & bec do america: Vegas Baby

Welcome to Las Vegas!

This place is everything I thought it would be, its loud, fast, bright & non-stop.

We left beautiful Hawaii and arrived in Vegas at about 5 in the afternoon, the sun was already setting so the descent in was great, got to see it all lit up, you can pick the strip out its massive.

Everyone here is in a rush to get somewhere, but its fun you sort of get carried into it all, the traffic is insane I haven’t seen anything like it, last night they shut down Las Vegas Boulevard for about a 5 blocks with all these cop cars, not sure what happened but it was weird to see this one part of Vegas without any traffic. They love to get on the horns here, they will be sitting at the lights and if you don’t take off at break neck speed once it goes green, they are on it and not just a little toot either. Haha it’s hilarious. But its good coz you can get where you need to go in taxis very quickly.

Last night we saw Jay Leno at the Mirage, he was sooooooo funny Roy and I laughed from the minute he came on till his last joke an hour and a half later, which has left us both with sore faces! Hehe it was just like watching him on telly only he was in the room with us.

We walked home from the Mirage so that we could get a look at the strip, it took a while coz I was stopping every 2 seconds to take another photo! Haha but its just so much to take in, not even the pictures you take can really show you what this place is like, you just have to come here, there are so many things to go and do/see and nothing stops, we walked through MGM Grand to get back to our room at 1.30am and it was like it was when we first got there at 6pm.

Let me tell you about our suite, its so nice, they had champagne and chocolate covered strawberries waiting for us when we arrived, we are staying at the Signature which are the 3 towers behind MGM Grand they are so nice and new I love it and its just a bit away from all the hectic. You can walk through MGM to get home though so it doesn’t seem like your leaving the strip too far behind. The room has a tv in the bathroom, its awesome for me coz i spend so much time in there. We were able to check into the hotel at the airport, so didnt have to worry about long check n lines at the hotel when we arrived, and no foul ups getting to the hotel from the airport this time, Roy had this one sorted.

This place is just like on telly, except just a tiny bit dirtier and there are Mexicans handing out cards for strip clubs & phone numbers everywhere – GIRLS GIRLS GIRLS. But it’s going to be a great weekend and I am glad that we are here to check it all out.

Not sure what today holds for us, I know I want to go and see the M&M Factory so we will see what other adventures we have. Oh I need to go and get myself a yard glass filled with a daiquiri and walk down the road drinking it just coz I can and everyone does it!

Oh yeah we have changed time zones again so the body is out of whack again. We have come forward by about 2 hours, but nothing we cant fix. But that is why the blog is a bit late.

Hope you like some of the pics I snapped last night.
