US Trip 2014 - Las Vegas

Day 2 saw an early start and it's off to Vegas baby!!
The day was a bit boring with most of it spent on the bus but it was a good opportunity to catch up on sleep.

Our hotel is a bit further from the action but still on Las Vegas boulevard. The Stratosphere hotel has a tower that you can go up. There is a ride at the top  and there is also a bungee jump you can do from the top of the tower. It looks crazy. Still feeling jetlagged but we decided to go out and check out the 'Strip' It's $8 for a bus ticket around the Strip for 24hrs.

Walking around seeing all the bright lights was exciting. The casinos are so grand in design and I don't know whether I'm impressed or just think it's incredibly tacky and cliche. Most of the night, however was spent in the M&M and coke stores.

One of many silly selfies


The coke store is one of only 2 in the world. The other store is in Atlanta Georgia which is the headquarters of coke. Everything is wall to wall coke... It was pretty wow!
Yes you can deck out your whole kitchen with Coke crockery
mmm Coke clocks


Going into that 4 storey M&M store, I felt like Alice in wonderland and I did end up buying a few things.
Saturday night fever M&M
A whole wall of self serve M&M's
My friends...
Design your own M&M's (yes you can write your name on them)
Walked around a bit and booked a show before calling it a night. Just got a bit of an idea of the lay of the land so that we could do more exploring tomorrow. The Bellagio has a nice fountain show. I think the best fountain show I have seen was in Dubai but this one was pretty good.
