Day 18

Hard to settle in yet another bed. Chilly in the night so pulled covers back on.

Up 9ish. Window cleaner with a head for heights outside - abseiling down the pyramid!

Out looking for lions - mmmm. Old guide book so didn't realise lions long gone! Already tired legs so fed up.

Went to check on tix for Rod Stewart - min $112 on desk so went to box office. Lowest price $65 in the gods for 1.5 hour show. Decided against.

Went to fat burger 12ish. Asked for bacon/sausage butty but they said breakfast finished at 11. They served us yesterday! Had burger & beer watching strip. Lot of people earning living from dressing as show girls or superheroes. Quite sad really.

Went to Mirage to see dolphins. $22 each to get in but quiet inside. Had beer - very large!! Not much going on with dolphins but also area got lions, tigers, leopards, cheetah. Quite entertaining.

Then to big wheel (high roller) via Venetian. Quite liked this place - Rialto Bridge, St Marks Sq, Bridge of Sighs & gondolas.

Wheel $25 for 30 mins. Quite good but can't possibly be high enough to see well.

Then to bar for happy hour beers near wheel. $5. Watched people again.

Then to Beerhaus outside New York for Party in Park.
Beer $5 and fabulous live band. Had ribs/chicken cob salad and few beers. Chatted to couple going to show. They'd started on Margaritas at 2pm. She was smashed and he was not feeling good!

Enjoyed the music. Got monorail home 10.30. Long day !Read more
