What happens in Vegas, stays in Vegas...

If I was going to stick with the famous phrase I wouldn't have anything here to write about...

Welcome to Vegas!
This city is very amazing, hussle bussle 24/7 and pokies no more than a min walk from anywhere! Even the airport has pokies! The hostel I stayed in was more like a motel but it was clean and ok fun.

Second day I was there I went on a Grand Canyon tour. The canyon is absolutely amazing and definately one of the 7 Wonders of the World! Its just sooo massive, deep and rugged.Apparently there are heaps of suicides there, the best one I heard of was a guy jumping out of the helicopter on a tour over the canyon! We got delayed an hour on the way home because some guy didn't return to the bus, maybe he jumped? We never saw him again...

For the rest of my time there, I walked the streets and listened to live music and checked out some of the casino's, but no gambling. Only ever put $1 into a pokie and left it there until I was satisfied with the free bevs they kept bringing. 5 beers for $1... Ok?
The last night of my Vegas stint the hostel organised a party cruise down the strip and a nightclub VIP entry. We went in this pimped up bus which was so cool then to the nightclub which didn't live up to the bus :( We got to the club at 12am but got pissed and didn't end up home until 6am. I was due to be picked up by the airport shuttle at 8am...

Holy shit! Its 7:55am and I'm still in bed! Quick... I quickly got ready and ran out to the bus, fweeeh just made it! I was so bugged that I fell asleep on the plane prior to takeoff and didn't wake up until we landed in LA.

So in LA now, this hostel is massive, 40 dorms! Its a good place, they organise heaps of tours etc so should keep me busy here for a while!

Time to go to Venice Beach...

Man It sounds like Vegas would be heaps of fun with a few of the boys! I stayed on Venice beach for a few nights then up at Santa Monica. Hope you like L.A. No real tips, just follow your nose.

P.S. Pretty good scheeming for your beers in the vegas casino - that has Donnelly written all over it.
