Thursday 3/1/14
After about 5 hours sleep we woke up at 3am and
got our shuttle to the airport. We got some breakfast of bacon, eggs,
biscuit and grits then hopped on our plane with a stopover in
Houston. We caught the shuttle to our hotel, The Monte Carlo and
dumped our stuff before heading out on the strip. It's pretty
amazing. We walked around a few hotels and checked out some shops
before buying some discount tickets to see the Tournament of Kings at
Excalibur. We then walked down to the Bellagio hotel and watched the
fountain display, then headed back to Excalibur for the show. There
was jousting, horse racing and sword fighting, all while we ate Cornish game hen and roast vegetables with our hands (no cutlery
allowed). It was great. We then headed back to our room as we'd been
up since 3am and were well and truly knackered.
Friday 4/1/14
We woke up around 9:30 but Jess' throat was
killing her so we ended up sleeping until about 11am. We then went
down and bought tickets for the Blue Man Group and Circ De Soleil's
Zumanity. We walked over to the Mile Mall in Planet Hollywood and got
some “breakfast” (it was 1pm by then) at Jamba Juice and checked
out the shops. The mall has an indoor section that's painted to look
like the sky, so you kinda think you're outside. Every half an hour
it “rains” in a section of the mall. By this point Jess was
starting to feel worse, so we went over to the Cosmopolitan hotel and
got a free Margarita then won $15 on a Ghostbusters slot machine.
Jess was done by this point so we went to check out the discount
ticket stand and ended up getting tickets for Evil Dead: The Musical.
I grabbed a couple of beers on the way back to our hotel (Sapporo)
and Jess crashed out for a nap. Hopefully now I'll wake her up at
7:30 so we can go to Gordon Ramsay's Burgr bar and get some tasty
food before out late show at 10:00. Tomorrow we pick up a car for the rest of our adventure.
