After the 6 hour bus trip we pulled into the Las Vegas depot ready for anything Vegas could throw at us. The Greyhound Bus trip was rather uneventful, normal people, no freaks, no strippers :( 
We lugged on our 20kg back packs and headed for the public bus line, just like any good back packer on a tight budget would. We arrived here in 30+ degree heat and then witnessed a woman pull up at the red light, promptly open her door to let out a Hyper colour pink spew, from the drivers seat. Welcome to Vegas!
After a stuff up with our room and a longer than it should have been bus trip we finally arrived at our beautiful, but slightly out of date accommodation 'Tropicana', I think the name says it all. (:
The room was clean, but had an awesome view of the strip - 18th floor.
As if on que, once the beer was on Ice Juzzy ad Kristy arrived! Was great to have a quick catch up with them before heading to NY NY for dinner and drinks at Hooters Casino.
Saturday
When we woke up at mid-day, we headed back to NY NY for some bacon and eggs... mmm. Then jumped on the double duece (double decker bus), to Wynn for a bit of sightseeing and a drink. From here the girls hit the shops, while Juzzy and I found a few sports bars and casinos to keep us amused.
We ate dinner in the Venetian, on the canals, a great casino. Followed by a few more drinks at Treasure Island (where the pirate show was cancelled), Bellagio, Paris and of course Hooters.
Sunday
After getting in at about 4.40am we slept to mid-day. Breakfast at Excalibur then checked out the Luxor Casino (a giant pyramid), and Mandalay Bay.
A beer by the pool and it was time for Juzzy and Kristy to fly back to Seattle. Definately the Highlight of the weekend was catching up with the Swiderski's
After a Swim we ate at T&T (tequila and tacos) @ Luxor. We then saw the pirate show that we missed the previous night, which was good in a corny kinda way! After moving on to the Bellagio and the fountain show we finished with Margaritas at Ballys and Flamingo.
