Doing It Vegas style!

SO good to get a horizontal sleeping position that we slept until 10!  Still we have made up for it by being out all day :)

Started the day by wandering North up Las Vegas Boulevard and booked Donny and Marie tickets as we walked through the Flamingo.  Had lunch in the Venetian in a New York style deli - so was in New York, which was in Venice, which was in Las Vegas - bizarro!  I guess I did get to Italy for my 50th birthday after all lol.
After lunch we caught a cab to the Premium Outlet mall in old Vegas and - as we are in Vegas where EVERYTHING is big - we had a massive shopping spree.  I think I'm all done with shopping now, at least until we get to Hawaii ;)

After dropping our shopping back at the hotel, we headed off to Fremont Street to check out the main strip of 'old Vegas'.  It was crazy - lights, rock bands, street performers etc.


We had dinner (at 10pm) at a place recommended by the cab driver and it was great!  Surf and Turf comes with lobster - for $12! and the margarita was HUGE.  After dinner we ziplined down the main strip under the lighting tunnel - woohooing all the way of course as I'm not known to be quietly gleeful.

We have finished off the day with a nightcap at the piano bar back at the Bellagio, only to find out it is already tomorrow.  My phone is dead, so we only have photos up of tonight at Fremont St, I will load more tomorrow. Off to bed then, my supercar drive is tomorrow morning - bring it on!
