Day 8

O Sole Mio!!

So second day in Vegas. Both won a little bit of money but Vegas takes everything and spits you out afterwards. So we’re a little wiser but a lot poorer! So we took a bus from Freemont where we were staying to The Strip. The casinos there are unbelievable, Caeser’s Palace, full of repro architecture that included ‘The Fountain of the Gods’ and Roman statues everywhere, The Venice with canals, gondolas and St Marks square and The Paris which has the Eiffel tower perched over it!! All awesome and totally over the top. The Bellagio with it’s musical fountains and all the sights of Vegas at night. To me it is both horrible and beautiful at the same time. Horrible in the sense that it is hedonism and western excess at it’s very worst, beautiful in the sense that all people from all countries and cultures were there with one single aim…..to have a good time!! Tomorrow we are off to Death Valley and a beer at the famous Crowbar before we crash at The Rustic Motel in Olancha. Now where the hell’s that!!!
