Busy Sunday?



I woke to a sunny day. It was forecast to reach 85F today. It was certainly pretty hot outside.


The Wynn and Encore hotels opposite my room look good in the morning. The sun shines on their golden surface and each has an impressive reflection of either each other, or another building in Las Vegas on them. At first I didn't think that it was real, but when I saw cars moving in the reflection, I knew that it was....


I had strawberry pancakes for breakfast. I did try a healthier option, but they didn't have Weetabix!


We then set off for a walk down "The Strip" and looked around some of the many shops that are here. The shops in the mall at Ceasers Palace probably isn't at the budget end of the market either. Everything is quite expensive there.

We did go up the Eiffel Tower at the Paris Hotel. It is half the height of the real one according to the lady who operates the lift. There are certainly some good views from the top.

After going via the Egyptian Luxor, and the Oriental Mandalay Bay Hotels, we headed to the Stratosphere Tower. This involved riding the whole length of the monorail.


We went on the Big Shot ride at the top. Very exciting! (and very high).
