Couldn't keep Ryan away from the showgirls (or maybe it was that I couldn't keep the showgirls away from Ryan!). Above Ryan were 3 million lights which form the world's largest illuminated show. The entire roof of this street (about 1km long) was covered in lights and every hour there was a light show.
Every hotel in Las Vegas competed with each other for guests and gamblers and so in order to attract them they have their own unique facade or show. We particularly enjoyed the fountain/music display at the Bellagio, the authentic skyline of New York New York and the Eiffel Tower replica at Paris. We stayed in the largest hotel in the world with over 5000 rooms (imagine how much washing they have to do!!!). We did see some machines where $1000 was the smallest you could bet at one time. Ryan said we should play it for his Dad but with the $10 a day gambling budget that Taryn had set, there was no chance! So Ryan played $10 but unfortunately all we got from it was 15 seconds of entertainment!
The one thing we really enjoyed was a Chinese Buffet that we had 2 nights in a row. It was all-you-can-eat prawns, salmon, chicken, ice-cream - over 30 different dishes to choose from! As a result, our stomachs have expanded 2-fold.
Las Vegas gave us the pleasure of 2 awesome shows: David Copperfield and Cirque du Soleil's "O". Although David Copperfield was magical, "O" was UNBELIEVABLE and unlike anything we have ever seen before. Thanks Fish for the recommendation!
