Sunday 21st. Very warm and dry here – not like NZ at the moment I hear. Slow start today as planning big canyon trip tomorrow. Lunched at the Rainforest Cafe ( MGM) – just the place to take the grandies sometime. Lightning and thunder, animals and birds with moving parts, trees etc. A bit navigationally challenged at one point today but found our way to some more of the themed hotels and associated entertainment. Aside from slots and every imaginable betting option there is much to see. Checked out New York themed buildings and Statue of Liberty, The Excalibur with it’s knights and towers theme (Disneylandish) and the impressive Luxor – Egyptian sphinx and pyramid. The rooms line the sides of the pyramid – check out the photos (coming soon). Spent the early evening in Old Vegas in the famous Fremont Street entertainment area. Oh my goodness…glitz and all sorts. Mmmmm. No wonder it was called “Glitter Gulch” really OTT. Street entertainment galore and garish. Dancers on bars, contortionists (scary what they could do), exhibitionists (polite) and all types of stalls, souvenirs etc. Had a lovely dinner at an Italian restaurant and then watched the renown light show on the curved canopy. Millions of LED lights.
