Tonight was an absolutely awesome experience, we have just arrived back at the hotel after seeing
Elton John at Caesars Palace.
Our seats were on the second mezzanine, in the middle, three rows back (row C seats 409/410) but the theatre is built in such a way that everyone has a fantastic view. Elton was fantastic, […]

One of the great things about Downtown Las Vegas is that everything is so close to walk to. We simply strolled out one of the doors facing Freemont St and we were right in the midst of everything that was happening.
The Strip is full of enormous hotels that take up acres of land so walking from […]

Today we set off for a final look around Downtown Las Vegas and ended up deciding to go to the Las Vegas Premium Outlets. Once again we waited for the shuttle only to have a repeat performance of Sunday.
As we once again sat and waited we began to chat with two women from Southern California. […]

We arrive at the front desk of the Golden Nugget and queue for a couple of minutes before being called to the next available attendent. This lady (whose name escapes us but we think is called Teri) proceeded to put us through one of the best check-in experiences during our US trip. She was an absolute […]

Daylight saving began today so we ended up having brunch rather than breakfast. If you are looking for an inexpensive place to eat where the food is plentiful and really tasty, then you can’t go past the Lucky 7’s restaurant at the Plaza Casino in Downtown Las Vegas. Meals cost $7.77 (before tax) so it […]

After our luxurious stay at Caesars Palace, we moved to Downtown Las Vegas to the Golden Nugget Hotel and Casino. We hadn’t seen the downtown part of town yet and thought that the best way to experience it was to actually stay there.
Our first thought was to catch the monorail to the Stratoshpere and walk […]

The decor of Caesar’s Palace is based on roman architecture and statuary. As we both loved Rome when we visited there in 2001, and can’t wait to return, strolling through Caesar’s palace was a joy as there are replica’s of all our favourite things.
Strolling past the Trevi Fountain was an opportunity to throw in a […]

As a treat, we decided to check into Caesars Palace for a couple of nights. We had walked through the hotel a number of times and just loved it so when we found a really cheap rate on their website for $150US per night for their spa package we decided to take it.
The hotel is […]

It takes a while to set up the GPS system because the gadget has difficulty […]
