Vegas Baby!!



Well here I am in Fabulous Las Vegas awaiting the arrival of my new traveling buddies, Emmy and Matt. We are staying at the lovely MGM Signature, the staff made me very welcome whilst I waited for my friends to arrive.



I got a bit thirsty (and lonely) waiting for them, So decided to head out and get myself a little drink, a foot-long margarita should keep me going!





Finally Emmy and Matt arrived and we went out onto the strip! We played a bit in the casinos, I loved the slots, and the cocktail waitress was very attentive, and kept on bringing me drinks!!




I had a few too many Coors lights and Emmy and Matt decided it was time to go back to the room, it is a long walk back for a little monkey like me (especially after a few drinks) So I decided to sit down on the moving walkway!


I woke up with a really bad headache the next morning so told Emmy and Matt to go on without me, I needed some more sleep!

They came and got me a bit later and we headed to the Rainforest Cafe for lunch, where I had a good chat with a very, very distant relative of mine!


After filling my belly with yummy food and chatting to my new friend, I headed back to the room for another nap, and to give Emmy and Matt time to themselves, this was about 3pm.

I heard them come in at 7am.....they had been playing Blackjack til this early hour, but they came back with some winnings so I was happy!



Obviously, Emmy and Matt were tired the next day, so we all had a lazy day, relaxing and chillin', refreshing ourselves for the next day!


We got up, nicely refreshed, and went out exploring the city! We went to many casinos, and took pictures along the way, but the more we played...the more we drank, and the more we drank....the less pictures we took!

Here I am at the Luxor, I enjoyed climbing the stautes, altough some of the were a bit scary looking or too high for me to climb, Emmy helped me get onto some of them!





We also went to the other end of the strip and played at the Stratosphere, we didn't go up to the top of the tower, Matt and Emmy had done that last year!




The next day, we were booked into the Champagne Brunch at Circus Circus! It was a lovely buffet, with a choice of steak from the grill and lots of yummy desserts...oh and I nearly forgot...as much Champagne as you can handle!
The days all became a blur on this trip, but I do remember going to the Las Vegas Hilton and seeing the Elvis statue.

On the last day I got chatting to this great group of guys, they were such fun and they showed me around the town, but the camera was with Emmy and Matt, so this is the only picture I have with them!
Remember: What happens in Vegas.....Stays in Vegas!!


I met up with Emmy and Matt around 5am when they had finished playing BlackJack for the last time! Emmy then announced that we had to be up at 7am to get the bus to the airport, as you can see, I didn't find this very good news!!


Despite the very late night, we got up and caught the bus to the airport and got on our flight to Detriot, then onto London!


We arrived safely at Emmy and Matts home, and I am settling in nicely, I just have to get used to the strange accent!!


Will post my England adventures soon!
