Day 15 – Springdale, UT to Las Vegas, NV

Viva Las Vegas! Yeah, baby, yeah!

We started our short drive to Vegas right after a delicious breakfast. The drive is pure downhill and sometimes the trucks passing at more than 80mph are a little scary…

Anyways- Vegas. Arrived just in time for lunch which we had in one of those casino restaurants – nice preview of what was to happen the next two days.

After that we checked in at our hotels. Melanie and I have struck gold with our stay at the Venetian. This hotel is awesome and we commend it.

The casino atmosphere is quite distinct from German casinos. There are so many gambling machines (which also offer the games people could play at a table, but I guess you have to have something in place for everybody's preferences). And there are so many games I have never heard of before – no matter what, they will all yield handsome profits for the casinos. The casinos at the Venetian and the Wynn appear a little more upscale than others (the Bellagio tops all, I think).

We had dinner at the buffet restaurant at the Wynn and it was great. The most delicious food we had in days in a nice atmosphere.
