Default Just back from las Vegas

Fookin' awsome place!!

bit quiet during the day but the night is where it starts off.

Helecopter flight down the grand canyon - not cheap but worth every penny. Had lunch sat in the bottom of the canyon!

Saw Lance Burton show - not bad but once you've seen 'how they do that' type shows you are looking for the tricks.

Cirque de soleie (sp) - very clever definatly worth going to see.

Blue man group - dificult to describe but due to not knowing what to expect probably the most entertaining show I saw

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=54RxabAsyog - quick taster for you

And they are in London - worth seeing!

Hotels are unreal, food excellent.

I even came out ahead, only by $60 but ahead is ahead!!!

Vegas ROCKS - I cannot wait to go again

Just one question - did you get pissed off with the mexicans on the streets with their cards that had local broffle phone numbers on - everytime we walked passed them, they were flicking the cards and trying to give them to us


Also, did you notice the double deck buses going up and down the strip? they were built in England by Dennis and Plaxton (Scarborugh)

Great place.

Did the whole helicopter to the Canyon thing, had lunch and then went off roading in a Hummer before getting a Helicopter back and over the strip at sunset - superb day.

The buffets and food are superb.

What Cirque du Soleil show did you see?

Blue man Group is a great show. Didn't manage to see Lance Burton

Saw Mystere, the busses were handy $2 for one way trip, $5 for 24 hours of use. Saved a shit load of walking!

and those bloody Mexicans with thier hooker calling cards were trying to give them to every one, didn't care if you were with the Mrs or not.
