Rhod and Anna's World Adventure

"Bright light city gonna set my soul, gonna set my soul on fire..."
Yes, our third and final guest has arrived...my brother Simon! Which picture does he look happier in? The one with his little sister who he hasn't seen for 8 and a half months or the one with some Las Vegas showgirls?

We have just spent a fantastic 4 days in Las Vegas. Some say it's tacky...and so do we! It's like a collection of different film sets have all converged on one street - a mini New York city, Venice, Rome, Paris and one with a full circus and fairground in it! Hotels and their casinos are the main attraction here and we have frantically been trying to visit them all. If you were to walk from one end of The Strip to another (which it looks perfectly possible to do) it would take about 2 hours! We have been to a cheesy cabaret show (hence the girls), gambled (badly), stuffed ourselves in the Hard Rock Cafe, seen lions that were close enough to touch through glass in the MGM Grand and drunk in most of the bars in hotels like Caesar's Palace, Mandalay Bay and the Bellagio. We were pretty sad to leave but necessary for the bank balance and our health. Simon is already planning a return and I'm sure we will be back.
