Las Vegas, Nevada


Welcome to Las Vegas..!

We found our way to Circus Circus Casino Hotel by late afternoon on Thursday. We decided to book this online about a week ago because it was dirt cheap, about £16 per night each! The bags were dumped and we headed straight out...to Starbucks obviously.

We decided to go to the MGM Grand Thursday night as this is where we both won mountains of cash on our last visit. Mr Valentine manged to pocket himself a few hundred bucks to keep his run going but I was less fortunate... We cruised the strip and took in the sights before heading back to the Hotel.

Friday we decided to have a deserved lie in and casual shopping day. We both made wise purchases in Abercrombie... a pair of winter warm pants! It was 107 degrees outside but we were thinking ahead! In the evening we went to Caesars Palace for a build your own salad. Unfortunately Alan from the hangover wasn't around so we decided to gamble somewhere else. It was my turn to win a bit of cash in Treasure Island then we headed back to the hotel.....unfortunately you have to pass through the casino to get to your room and it was obvious we would never make it. Roulette came calling again..we battled bravely and were about to walk away with a few extra dollars when..... Valentine THROWS down $100....I told him to put it all on 6 black for a return of $3600....but he stuck with just black....unbelievably 6 came out! $200 instead of $3600...and we were let wondering what might have been.

All in all a pretty successful 2 days as we left even if not slightly up and with a pair of warm pants for horrible LA...
