So, I am here! Finally!! It seems like forever ago that I booked my ticket for this trip, and yet it came around so so quickly. Now I am here and having a blast!
Yesterday went by kinda blurry, but I'm not surprised after 14 hours flying from Melbourne to LA, waiting 3 hours in a dodgy lounge with no fresh air, then another hour on a car with wings to get to Vegas! I then stayed up all day, went shopping and finally dragged myself into bed just before 11pm. I then had THE best sleep, so so deep and uninterrupted and woke up around 7am. That, for me, is a massive sleep!! I took it easy getting ready and have just visited the Bellagio shops this morning, where every shop I entered assistants wanted me to part with cash. Of course, me being me, I obliged in a few of them ;)
Now I am sitting in my room, having a coke, resting my feet for a minute before I head back downstairs to have a go on the slot machines. If I get enough courage, I may also have a go at one of the card tables! Knowing me though, that would result in empty pockets fairly quickly!
I have noticed that everyone tries to get you to eat more here. I ordered a salad for dinner last night, which was awesome I have to say, but it came with a side dish of THREE dinner rolls and SIX packets of crackers!! Plus, THREE portions of butter, which I might add are twice the size of Aussie portions!! Then this morning, I ordered coffee, juice and a croissant for brekkie, only to be asked if I wanted the continental brekkie because it came with two more pastries! No, I do not want to put on any weight while I am here, and get type 2 diabetes from all the extra food!! I have also been avoiding all the motorised walkways that are EVERYWHERE here and using my *gasp* own legs and feet to get places. Also getting used to walking on the right everywhere, though I have managed to crash into a few people cause I was on the left! Whoops.
So, it's off downstairs for me now. Going to see Cirque de Soliel tonight which should be fantastic. Have only been to one of their shows and that was awesome, so I am sure this one will be too. I'm hoping that I have some luck gambling, but am not going to hold my breath on that one!! :D
