Las Vegas

Las Vegas has HUGE hotels and I'm staying at a hotel on the Strip called the Excalibur which is based on a medieval theme. It's like a castle and has dragons and stuff. It has 4000 rooms. This is the hotel:


This is the view from my hotel window:


The first day I had only a few hours sleep but we booked tickets to watch UFC (Ultimate Fighting Championship) so we went there. While I was getting coffee to wake me up, Danny saw Avril Lavigne walk past. When we were watching the game, there were celebrities watching it too. Cindy Crawford, Vin Diesel, Dean Cain and heaps of other celebrities were there. Cindy Crawford is still really beautiful! Afterwards, we went towards the back to look at the beach at the hotel (yes there is a beach at the Mandalay Bay Hotel!) and there was no one there. We then saw the black guy from "Saving Private Ryan" walking past us with bodyguards and also the wrestler Ortiz. Las Vegas is full of celebrities!

Anyways, I'll write a bit later because I'm gonna go look at a few more hotels now. There are hotels with volcanoes (The Mirage), The Venetian hotel has gondolas running through it, New York New York has 11 of its famous buildings in mini size ... heaps more!! Ill leave some pictures:


I thought these toffee apples were cool cuz they had m&ms, peanuts, and all different flavours ... they are huge!


This is the famous water show at the Bellagio. it's amazing! (also featured on Oceans 11):

Its like as though you have stepped into Paris. They painted the ceiling like the sky and the 'streets' are lined with shops and cafes. Its really cool! have loads of fun!
