Last 24 hour in Vegas…

30/09/2012 By: SanDaan

Today we woke up pretty early because we wanted to do a lot today, because today was our last full day in Las Vegas.

First thing on our to-do-list was driving to the south side of The Strip to take a picture of the Welcome to Las Vegas sign. We also did the virtual cache there. Unfortunately it was impossible to do the traditional cache because of all the muggles around the sign.

After visiting this sign we drove all up north on The Strip to see the other side of The Strip and visit The World Famous Gold & Silver Pawn Shop. We had to wait in line to get in there, but unfortunately “The Stars” we’re not there. The shop is not that big and they also sell a lot of merchandise, particularly from Chumlee.

Next stop were the Premium Outlets Las Vegas North. It was extremely busy here and after picking up my free coupon-book at the Management Desk it was time to get the shopping done. First we went to Polo Ralph Lauren, than Tommy Hilfiger, 7 for all Mankind and Crocs.

Because it is not to far from Las Vegas we wanted to visit the Hoover Dam near the Boulder City, about one hour driving. The Dam itself is huge as if the surroundings. We took a lot of pictures and walked over the Dam from Nevada to Arizona and back. It was also pretty warm here, about 37 degrees Celcius.

We did not take a tour on the Hoover Dam and went back to the hotel. In the meanwhile we looked for a place to have dinner. And along the Highway back to Las Vegas we found a place called “Remedys Tavern”. The food was great and off course the refills were very welcome with these temperatures. During dinner we looked if there were geocaches in the neighborhood which we could look for after dinner. And there were! After dinner we did geocaching the American way. We drove with the car from cache to cache and ended up finding 4 caches. In total we have now found 146 geocaches since september 2011.

It took us about 30 minutes to get back to the hotel and another 20 minutes to get back to the hotel room because the hotel is so huge. At 08:30 p.m. It was time for the Pirates Show at Treasure Island. It was extremely crowded around the Treasure Island hotel and after the 20-minute show was over we went back to the hotel and did some last-night-gambling in the casino.

Tomorrow we will leave this beautiful hotel and this state because we heading for the Grand Canyon in Arizona.

Walking down the strip…

29/09/2012 By: SanDaan

Today we have done a lot but nt really something worthy enough to write a full blog about it, therefore a short blog with a lot of pictures. We started with a lazy morning before we went out our suite and we started with some shopping at our own hotel.

After shopping we walked down the strip in the south direction all the way to Mandalay Bay by daylight. In most casino’s we tried the slot machines and sometimes we were lucky but in the end we always left with a negative result.

Starting in the beginning of the evening we walked back to our own hotel.
