Day 6 Friday 2nd December
Had Maccas for breakfast. We went to The Gun Store at 10:30am and I had a go with a Glock pistol and an AK47 semi-automatic rifle which was fun. Then we had pizza for lunch (at about 4pm) at the Stratosphere. Dad and Matthew went on the Insanity and eXtreme (?) rides which are at the top of the Stratosphere and go over the edge. I joined them on the Big Shot which pulls a force of 4Gs up and down on the tower at the very top (one of the tallest if not the tallest ride in the world) the photo of us as we shot up was truly shocking (mostly by the look on my face). And we had McDonalds in Circus Circus for dinner.
Day 7 Saturday 3rd December
Caught the monorail to Bally’s and had McDonald’s for lunch. Went to the Titanic exhibition at the Luxor which was very interesting. We caught the monorail back to the station at the Hilton and walked back to Circus Circus, we had the buffet for dinner, desert was very nice. Afterwards we went to the Adventuredome where Dad and Matthew went on some rollercoaster rides. I went on the Disko.
Day 8 Sunday 4th December
An early start, leaving at 7:15 for the Grand Canyon. We arrived about 2pm and there was snow everywhere. We had McDonald’s for lunch. We went to Mather Point on the south rim and walked around the track there for 1.2km to the Geology Museum. It was -2degrees!!! We left the Grand Canyon at 4pm where we went to the National Geographic Visitors Centre and watched an Omnimax film about the canyon. We had Pizza Hut Express for tea there before booking in at the Holiday Inn Express Hotel. The top temp today was -2 degrees and -10 degrees outside when we went to bed.
Day 9 Monday 5th December
It had snowed during the night on the car. We had breakfast at the hotel then left at 8:45am. We went to the Meteor Crater on the other side of Flagstaff. Had Subway there for lunch and then left at 11:50am to return to Las Vegas. Mum drove from Williams to Kingman on a 75mph highway (her first time driving in America). We stopped at the Hoover Dam just on dark. We then had a buffet dinner again at Circus Circus.
Day 10 Tuesday 6th December
8 degrees Celsius top expected in Las Vegas today. We were picked up for our ATV Tour at 9am at the Wynn Hotel and Casino in a minibus with our ATV’S on a trailer behind. We drove out into the Nevada desert. Then rode our ATV bikes to Primm where we had a drink at the shops for lunch. Our hands were frozen as it was really cold on the bikes. I kept up with the tour leader but Mum was “a bit” slow. We were dropped back at Circus Circus, and Mum and Dad went out in the car to find a Laundromat to do some shopping. That night we went to the Fremont Street experience, we had Maccas for tea. There was lots of Christmas activities going on. And even girls dancing on bar tops. Dad and Matthew did the flying fox ride.
Day 11 Wednesday 7th December
In the morning we went to do the indoor skydiving, which was great fun. Tony was our instructor (and was hot). We then went to the Venetian Hotel and Casino and had a Gondola ride. We went to Toby Keith’s “I Love This Bar” at Harrah’s Hotel and Casino for lunch. We then went to Madame Tusssard’s Wax Museum but we did not think it was as good as the one in Hollywood. We took the monorail back to Circus Circus and had a rest before catching the monorail again to MGM station to go the Tournament of Kings dinner show at the Excalibur Hotel and Casino. The show was very good, we were in the King of Norway’s gallery. We were all given tomato soup and a full small chicken for dinner. Merlin called Mum a beautiful lady and asked if he could sit next to her.
