Last night / plans

Hey,

Yesterday was a good day. Firstly we went to the pool for a fair while - if we don't all come back very tanned I will be suprised! It is sooo hot here, around 38-42 each day, with not a cloud in the sky. Although i guess that makes sense since we are in the desert :S.
I hadn't been swimming for a long long time and it definately showed. I got mocked alot becuase:

1) I don't really float
2) It takes me along time to get anywhere in the water
3) I find it hard to reach the bottom....it goes on. Oh well!

We went to the supermarket yesterday and stocked up on food/drink for the house. American supermarkets are fantastic, they had an english section which was great! You can get robinsons fruit and barley for $7.50 or 1 can of heinz beans for $4...cheap.

Last night we hit the strip again, but this time since it was a saturday we got a taxi there and back so jeal could have a few drinks. Our cab driver was really funny, although they all want to take you to "gentlemans establishments" as i think they get money for taking you there. We spent the whole night at Caesers (spelling?) Palace which is ancient rome themed and pretty cool inside. Lots of statues of the gods etc, all waitresses in white outfits that i guess are supposed to fit the era. We were going to go to the nightclub inside called Pure, but not only was the queue huge but you meet so many groups of people walking round the casino that as long as you're not in a clubbing mood talking to random people can be just as fun. So far we haven't met anyone not friendly, everyone seems to be here to have a good time and all want to know where you're from etc etc. Owe (thus us) met up with some girls again from the night before which was funny, i think jeal might post here later so will leave those stories up to him.

I think we are all going to relax over the next few days, it's been a big couple of nights. Of course its been awesome but theres only so much Vegas you can handle over 3 weeks and we want to pace ourselves!

A couple of things we will hopefully do this week:

Freemont Street Experience- in downtown, a mile or so down the strip, this is a street that has been covered in lights (you cant see the sky) and has light shows every x hours. It's free of course, and apparently amazing. Whilst we're in downtown I know jeal (well all of us) want to go to the Golden Nugget where they film high stakes poker, and Binions where the original World Series was held for a long time.

Stratosphere - the skyscraper in vegas which is a casino and hotel. At the top there are 3 rollercoasters, so we'll definately be going on those!

I also want to drive to the red rock canyon which is about 2 miles away (out of my window all i can see is mountains!) and go for an explore.

Oh, and we will definately play some poker, probably at the venetian.

Chris and Sam get here next week which will be great!

Tonight we're staying in so probably won't update for a day or two...
