Las Vegas, Nevada, United States - 8th August 2010

By: Xadrian

Last night our host had a terrible spill in her high heels and was pretty banged up and bruised! We let her sleep in that morning and the other toyvoyagers and I amused ourselves with trying to figure out the purpose of this weird bucket in our hotel room.

Later we found out it’s to go and put ice in! After we explored other interesting things in the room, such as the blow dryer, safe, and dresser drawers we waited patiently for her to wake up.

Soon our host woke and after shuffling around getting ready we headed out to the Las Vegas strip to do some sight seeing.

We decided to go out the adjoining hotel called “Paris” which had several quaint bakeries and café’s inside.

Inside was also a restaurant at the top of a mock Eiffel tower!

What a huge lion!

This is the Luxor hotel, which is modeled like a giant pyramid and sphinx! It’s not the real pyramids in Eygpt, but at least I got to see a pyramid  :D

The Harley Davidson Café! Vroom Vroom!

After walking around for a bit, my host started to get hungry.  There were plenty of places to eat on the strip, but she doesn’t really care for fast food.

My host considered going into the M & M’s World, but thought better of it. Maybe candy wasn’t a good idea for lunch anyway…

After walking around awhile we found a nice Chinese resturaunt, P.F. Changs, however it was very crowded so we decided to just continue on and eat later at the hotel. We did manage to grab a quick picture by huge horse they had stationed outside of the eatery though  :)

This is the New York, New York hotel. See the huge mock bridge? Maybe it is the Brooklyn bridge? My host is unsure.

Visitors can also ride a huge rollercoaster that wraps around the hotel for around $30.

As there are many visitors in Las Vegas, the streets are always under construction with all the wear and tear from so much traffic!

Diablos Cantina, a bar and eatery along the strip.  It’s a devil lady!

The hotel Excalibur, a castle hotel that is furnished very medieval inside and has nightly shows that involve jousting, knight role-play and eating renaissance type food with your hands!

This is just outside of the Bellagio, where all the rich people come to stay.  Every fifteen minutes a fountain show is performed!

Any minute now... maybe if I sneak up to it, it will go off?

Here it comes! The pressurized air causing the water to shoot up into the sky is so loud!

After all that walking around, my host finally got some lunch and began packing her things to head back to San Diego early the next morning.
