Walking through Vegas

Today we went and saw as many casinos as we could in one day, we have very sore feet.
After we walked up and down the entire strip, kris and i went on the richard petty nascar experience which was awesome : )
Which was around 300kph of pure happiness.
Kris's ride ended with a blown tyre and a pit stop, but we both really enjoyed it.

While we were doing that simone went to the Bellagio art gallery and took some amazing photos of the gardens inside the casino.

Strange

children with guns, what a strange place.

Shopping in Vegas

Today we went to the Chelsea Shopping outlet, which we found some great bargins.
There is so much clothing in L, XL and XXL sizes it is hard to find a shirt in a medium or a small (Damnit).

Simone found a fantastic Misoni dress, and its purpleish.

We were also told to have a look at this architectual nurology clinic which looked amazing.

Have a look at the photo.

Dementia and alzheimers clinic, the building is supposed to represent a brain.

Our day trip to the Grand Canyon

Hoover Dam:

We went on our guided tour of the Grand Canyon and had a brief stop at the Hoover Dam.
The hoover dam is a monstrousity of concrete and even has torpedo netting in the water.
Currently the water level is 38% capacity which you see the bath ring on the rocks.

Arizona Trading Post

We had a brief stop at the Arizona Trading Post.

Joshua Trees, these are scattered all over the road side. It was quite surprising to see so much greenery so close to the canyon.
We were not allowed to stray to far from the carpark due to the rattlesnakes and mahabi greens, as an interesting side note, there is no anti venom for a mahabi green snake bite.

The Grand Canyon

This place has to be seen to be believed. It is the most amazing place and has a surreal like quality to it.

Out and About in Vegas

Andrew Blog:

Let me just say that Vegas is a very interesting town, very very over the top with everything.
We have been to the Bellagio Casino tonight to watch Circ de Sole "O".
It was an amazing show, im glad we stayed out of the water splashing zone. Some people werent so lucky.

Simone Blog:
The costumes were mind blowing with an arrangement of colours, feathery frew frew, and an interesting assortment of nudity. Mainly sculptural bottoms.
The stage was fantastic, being both a solid and a liquid construction.
The synchonised swimmers, dancers and acobats worked together in such a fluid way, being able to take leaps from great heights and contoring themselves into vairous arrangements.
For anyone who is coming to Vegas, this show is a must see.

We saw the Dale Chihuly in the main foyer, and we have put some photos so people can enjoy.
