Viva Las Vegas


quick one today - Vegas is unique in its own special way. Estimated to have a population of a couple of million people and heaven knows how many visitors - it feels like everyone is out on the strip at night.

During the day we checked out almost all the casinos on the strip. Glass flowers on the ceilings, or mosaics, or chandeliers, or murals - anything goes in Vegas. Photo is of the water show at the Bellagio, with Paris's Eiffel Tower in the background. There's lions in the MGM foyer and a rainforest cafe where we ate lunch.

Tonight we went to see Phantom of the Opera at the Venetian. The theatre is amazing - built to resemble the Paris Opera, the costumes were perfect, the singing excellent - a fabulous night topped off by an Italian meal and a nice chianti in St Mark's square at sunset, listening to the strings trio.

Back to the hotel to watch Treasure Island's pirate cove show, then the volcano at the Mirage - sleep calls now.
