Viva Las Vegas!

A very early very quiet flight into Vegas definitely did not set the tone for our trip.

We arrived at Las Vegas airport and played the first slot machines we could find! We jumped into our Uber and arrived at our home for the night- Encore at the Wynn. We had amazing rooms overlooking the strip. Alice and I were starving so headed across the road for lunch only to get VERY lost trying to find our way back through a maze of casinos. We met the boys at rhe pool for a swim and sunbake for a few hours. After we were sun and watered out Alice and I decided to get a head start on the nights entertainment. David Guetta (famous DJ) was playing at the hottest club in town, XS, which happened to be at our hotel. We looked online and saw that tickets were $80 each. We decided to go down and see if it was worth it. Luckily for us a promoter was at the door and offered us free tickets, a free drink and fast entry on his list because we were guests of the hotel. We of course accepted and were very impressed with ourselves. We had tickets to Michael Jackson One a Cirque du Soleil show set to MJ music at 7 so had to quickly get changed and head off. The show was amazing with people moonwalking up the walls and doing amazing stunts. Just as we were ready to make our way to the nightclub Richard fell ill with sunstroke so we had to leave him behind in the hotel. The club was HUGE it even had a pool, we spent the night dancing away and didn't get home till past 3am!

The next day none of us were feeling great so we all extended our checkout until 1pm and slept. Alice found a cool restraunt to have breakfast/lunch in so we all ventured there before heading to the pool. We had a 10pm flight so an early dinner booking at STK which was incredible. I had the Steak Tartare (of course) and Crab Ravioli. We over budgeted for time so had about half an hour to try and "win" back our dinner... unsurprisingly we failed to do so.

We then headed to the airport ready for our next adventure...
