Having stayed in Paris, France and visited the Eiffel tower previously, I thought it would be nice to stay in the Paris Hotel and Casino in Las Vegas as it is based on the French theme. Our Check in was smooth and hassle free, with the staff being very efficient and helpful. We are offered an upgrade which I decline saying I am sure all your rooms are great. We are given an upgrade anyway. Always remember this whether you are hiring a car or checking into a hotel, never take the offer of a paid upgrade. Hold out and…

An Eventful Flight Home From San Francisco to Sydney
Sunday, August 23rd, 2009 at
11:59 am
The days starts out pretty ordinary, we have breakfast at the Terrace Cafe at El Rancho Best Western and then we go to the office to find out what there is to do in Millbrae until our shuttle at 7pm. It appears there isn’t anything to do where we are so, so we think we should go and drop off the bags and go back into San Francisco to spend a few hours. We get to the airport really early and Qantas doesn’t open until 6:45pm to take check in for our 10:40pm flight. Damn so here we are at…
Out and About in Las Vegas – The Deuce Bus – RTC – Max – Hop On Hop Off bus Las Vegas
Wednesday, August 19th, 2009 at

We have been making a lot of use of the daily Deuce bus pass so that we can spend more time in the various casino’s, don’t get sore feet, and don’t get worn out by the end of the day. There are regular stops all down the Strip through to the Downtown area and we found the Deuce pass to be very economical. The costs are : Single trip – $3.00 24 hour pass – $7.00 3 day pass – $15 We didn’t find out about the three day pass until it was too late to be of any use…

The world famous Caesars Palace is a luxury hotel and casino in Las Vegas, USA. It’s on the west side of Las Vegas Strip, between the Bellagio and the Mirage, in Paradise, a township in Nevada. With it’s Roman theme, this is one of my favorite Casino’s, mind you they are all pretty impressive. Caesars Palace is owned by Harrah’s Entertainment and is a vast complex of 3,348 rooms in five towers. These are called the Augustus, Centurion, Roman, Palace and Forum. People flock there to gamble and see spectacular shows and world famous entertainers. How did it all start?…
Down To The Base of The Grand Canyon by Helicopter – Amazing

I generally like to keep posts in some sort of chronological order. But I have fallen behind a bit while having way too much fun. But today was a highlight so I am going to add this post out of order. I know – but it just has to be done. Last night we decided to take a trip to the Grand Canyon so I hopped online to check out what was available and found a company that seemed to have just what we wanted, and that was the Grand Canyon Air Tours from Las Vegas. We selected the Original…
Leaving San Francisco and Arriving at Las Vegas
Friday, August 14th, 2009 at
1:19 am
Today we leave San Francisco. After breakfast I go up the road to do the washing so that we have clean clothes when we get to Las Vegas. On the way down in the lift a rather irate women grumbles to us not to lose our key as the cleaning staff are most unhelpful and she has to go down to the desk to get another. I bit my tongue as I do quite often these days. But I would have thought that as an adult it is your responsibility to put your key in a safe place, and I…

Its only a short walk from the Japanese Tea Garden, over the park to the California Academy of Sciences. Tickets are available for $24.95 for adults, $19.95 for seniors and $14.95 for children. The sales lady tells us that we will be unable to attend the planetarium as all the tickets have been sold out. But that’s okay by us as there are plenty of things to see. Now the Academy has the Steinhart aquarium, a rain forest, a natural history museum and a planetarium and they are all under a living roof. Its pretty amazing really and the first…
Golden Gate Park – Japanese Tea Garden – San Francisco

The Japanese Tea Garden is just a short walk from the de Young museum and it cost $7.00 to enter. Like all the Japanese gardens I have been to there is lots of water and greenery. Its a bit of a maze to walk around but that just adds to the charm and you come across interesting things hidden in amongst the plants. We stand for a while watching the gardener trimming and shaping the bushes around a pond, and I comment to Val about the absence of fish. Most Japanese gardens I have been to always have lots of…
