Continuing on with our crazy US holiday.......
I will jump back to our last night in Vegas - (Tuesday night ) when we caught The Duece , public bus , to Fremont St - it was great and only took ONE HOUR to get there
As usual - crowds were down again....
Seriously , you cannot take ONE step ANYWHERE in this town without people ALL AROUND you
Let me say that Fremont St is not for the faint-hearted......it is GREAT for the old style neons , but there are numerous ice-junkies etc around the place.....my daughter was not happy here but we stayed for a couple of hours....
Here are some shots....
The main entrance - also you can see the roof that has 12 million lights in it to provide the endless light show...
In this shot you can see the people on the zip-line.
We were dead set lined up for this but our son Jake got a bit crook so we didnt do it.
It would have been VERY cool and was only $15.00 each.
Hmmmmmmmmm
Met these dudes too - really - it was REALLY them ......isnt it Nino ?
Another one.......
On our way back on The Duece there was this REALLY drunk dude that looked like Jack Nicholson - he was non stop jibber talking and was directly behind my daughter, I could honestly tell he was harmless ( he thought I was a golfer named Phil Nicholson and kept asking how my game was going ) - but my daughter was just a little petrified - hahahahaha -U can see his forehead in the right of this shot.
For those that havent been to Vegas here is the intersection of Las Vegas Blvde and Tropicana ....
To give you an idea as to the size of these 'hotels' - this is the check in section of The Luxor where we are staying...
And here is inside a couple of casino's - they all look much the same and I swear they make it insanely difficult to find your way out !
Inside The Venetian
Inside MGM Grand
We left Vegas and got this shot on the way out - I swear there is this chick that stands there and you tip her a buck for the photo with your own camera - it NEVER ends - she would make a KILLING - CASH!
So we leave LV and head off for a 3.5 hour trip to The Grand Canyon.
A lady at work tells me we HAVE to try the 'pies' at a country restraunt in Williams on the way to the canyon - so we take a stop for lunch at this place.....
This town is on the famous Route 66
Here are the 'pies' she was talking about.....
Note the super cool T shirt I bought in Vegas ( UFC fans please )
Now you HAVE to get some perspective on these behemoth things they serve up...
Here is an Aussie 50c and one dollar in front of it....let me tell you that this is WITHOUT DOUBT the GREATEST thing I have EVER EVER tasted in my entire life...my daughter and I shared it and could not finish it.....it is at least 6 or 7 inches high.
More soon guys ......
