How does one describe Vegas....pictures tell it all and everything else fits under the heading "What happens in Vegas, stays in Vegas". Twenty years ago maybe, but for this trip pictures tell it all! We had two nights at the Circus Circus where the kids loved the "all you can eat" buffet in between trips to see the half hourly circus acts and games arcade. Fran got to ride on the rollercoaster in the hotel, and we all won more soft toys than we needed. We were glad to be back in the Desert heat and we walked "the strip" by day and by night. We were able to pretend we were in Venice, Paris, New york and the Carribean -the extravaganza has to be seen to be believed.
The flowers and the choreographed fountains at the Bellagio were highlights as were the flamingoes at The Flamingo, and dinner at the Trevi in Caesar's Palace (inside dining pretending to be outside!).
We also took the kids to the Sahara to see Rick Thomas whose magic show included levitating tigers, disappearing motor bikes, scantilly clad women in boxes being dissected and having their heads spin and Pete and Fran on stage while Pete's watch was made to disappear.
It was all sensational and exceeded our expectations. We thought four days would be more than enough, but we left feeling there was so much more to see, smell, touch, taste and buy - I think Vegas (and the US in general) had the exact effect that it was designed to -you leave wanting more even though you are completely overloaded!
