Vegas Day 2

Wow, last night was crazy - I’ve was up for 26hrs then my body just gave up completely and I slept right through until this morning!! So turned on the news this morning and what did I see but the following rather ridiculous weather forecast:

The Weather in Vegas

Some crazy type of rain due - it’s rains but the desert is so hot, it evaporates before it gets to the ground! I cannot get over the heat - even the wind is hot - I know how a chicken feels come sunday roast time!

Up resonably early this morning, breakfast in the Paris, went to the Venetian, the Palazio, Caesars Place (it’s the size of Tiverton), Wynns, a couple of others I forget the name of - spent money in them all :( but didn’t lose very much at all! The crazy thing is, if you got into the Venetian you’ll see the following:

Venetian Casino Canals

Yep, a canal - but that sky ain’t real, the canal is on the 2nd floor - there’s an entire casino underneath!! The mind boggles as to how the hell they do all this - a shit load of cash springs to mind! So, I’m back at the hotel room - a quick coffee and this post and then I think I’ll enter a Poker Tournament and of course catch the fabulous fountain display at the Bellagio - see the video below - just WOW!

Fucking video embedding - I hate this proprietary rubbish go to:

http://www.vimeo.com/1001491 for the Daytime View and
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FVOMReOMYyQ for the night-time view, they are both worth watching but they do not come anywhere near the magnificence of the real thing!

Final thought - it’s hotter here than Istanbull, Egypt and Delhi! And it’s hotter at 5pm than it is an 1pm with the mid-day sun, what’s up with that??
