Las Vegas

Las Vegas! What can I say… it's the adult version of Disneyland!

I brought my husband for his birthday in November 2011 and wow was he impressed! In fact we loved it so much we travelled again in July 2012, November 2013 & June 2015.

From the minute we landed we were captivated by the buildings we once saw on TV and now we were here seeing them for real. From the Luxor Hotel to Excalibur's Castle and the MGM Grand, to the Eiffel Tower at the Paris to the Stratosphere Tower at the north end of the strip…you can see them all.

We stayed on the strip and enjoyed a great view of the dazzling lights along Las Vegas Boulevard. We arrived at night and although tired we couldn't wait to see everything. By 6am the next morning we were having pancakes for breakfast in the Bellagio after dancing and gambling the night away.

There is so much to enjoy besides gaming of course such as the fab Broadway shows, comedy nights, endless shopping from the Miracle Mile to the Forum shops at Caesars Palace, not to mention the retail outlets. We really enjoyed the trip by plane to the Grand Canyon West Rim where we walked the Sky Walk. The scenery at the Canyon is breath-taking and it happened to snow the day we went which made it even more spectacular. We also took a hop-on hop-off bus tour where we saw the fountains at the Bellagio, the exploding volcano at the Mirage, Fremont Street and the infamous Little White Chapel, just one of the many little Chapels - where I can arrange your wedding too by the way.

Out of the five nights we were there, we managed about 20 hours sleep just because we were afraid we'd miss something. Our only regret was we had to go home.

But don't take my word for it… Go and see this fabulous city in the desert for yourself. Give me a call or e-mail me for details today.
