Hello again, hopefully you enjoyed last weeks post which was all about my travels in San Francisco. The next place I visited was Las Vegas, I am going to set out the post in the same way as the last, so I will get started! If you haven't read last weeks blog post then click here to read..

Where did we stay?

MGM The Excalibur. I'll be honest I had to idea what to expect from a vegas hotel, especially because the total of our hotel was pretty cheap. If you have been to vegas then you will know what I mean when I say all the hotels are virtually the same. They all have HUGE casinos on the ground floor and are full of places to eat, the one thing that did stick out like a sore thumb was the fact that our hotel was shaped like a castle, which made it 100% more interesting! The room we had was HUGE compared to our small basic room in SF, there was nothing special about it just the fact it was very spacious, the bed was huge and so was the bathroom! The vegas strip was basically across the road from our hotel which was so helpful and there was a FREE tram that when to Mandalay Bay hotel and there was a bridge over to new york new york, so when we got bored of our hotel we could just hotel hop. The pool was lovely despite only going once due to having a ginger boyfriend (lol), there was an adult pool and a normal pool!

Favourite Trips and Excursions 

Grand Canyon Helicopter tour- This was probably the most money I spent on the whole USA trip, £300+ and I was so nervous about spending the money and it not being worth the money. However hands down it was the best part of the holiday without a doubt. You get picked up from your chosen location (our hotel) in a limo, then they take you to a mini airport and you get a safety brief and meet your pilot then you are in the air for 45 minutes. They then land the helicopter in a designated spot in the grand canyon and you get 30 minutes there and have a picnic and champagne, then you fly back to the airport and they then drive you back to your hotel in a limo!   




T-mobile Arena Tour- I was so not sure about doing this, all the tours we have done have always been of sports grounds, so I did not know what to expect. However it was really interesting, we were the very first group to ever have a public tour around there which was really cool!



The Mirage, Dolphin and Lion habitat- I absolutely love animals and the place I really wanted to visit was miles away so I settled on this place. Considering its in the gardens of a hotel in the middle of the las vegas strip it was amazing. I wish we would of booked to feed the dolphins before hand as it was so cool how they let you interact with them. 



Regrets?

• Not going to the coyote ugly bar in NY NY
• Not going to the Circus hotel and experiencing the indoor theme park
