Day 96 - Las Vegas, Nevada, USA

Day 96 – 12th September 2005 -8:00 GMT

Got up late like mid day and went for lunch at the Imperial Palace Buffet as we had free vouchers. After lunch we walked over to Caesars Palace and Reece and Jill went shopping whilst I played Blackjack. As you can probably tell by now my plan was to bet $100 at Blackjack at every casino in Las Vegas. So I won $301 in 30 minutes whilst at Caesars and then we walked over to the Bellagio.


The Bellagio

Here I lost $99 so it was time to move on, We walked through the new wing of the Bellagio and they had a large mockup of the Liberty Bell which we looked at.

Then the chocolate shop has the largest chocolate fountain in the world which is 17 story’s high.

We caught the monorail over to the Monte Carlo and yet again I proceeded in playing Blackjack whilst Jill and Reece settled in the bar, which serves there own brand beer as they have a micro brewery on site in the pub. Anyway I won $158 so joined Jill and Reece in the bar for a quick drink. Jill was tempted by the 167 Oz pitcher with it’s own tap on the bottom but I thought she would not be able to walk after the 10 ½ pint monstrosity.

We then walked back to the Imperial Palace and took photo’s on the way. We then drove down to the Stratosphere and went up the tower to 966ft to watch the sunset over Las Vegas.

We spent an hour up there and watched all the thrill rides that dangle you over the edge of the tower for fun.

Insanity

After the sun had set I had a quick game of Blackjack here and won $151.50. We then drove downtown and watched the Fremont Street Experience, which is a street covered in a type of netting containing millions of LED’s and every hour they show a short video clip that races down the street over the 300 hundred metres of LEDS.

I then took a quick visit to the Blackjack tables of the golden nugget and won $200 within 5 minutes. We then drove back to the hotel and Reece and I went to Casino Royal for a few beers and a game of Blackjack switch, this time I did lose $140 but overall a good profitable day.
