Where I stayed
Well we finally made it to New York - more on that in a minute - first i will update you about Vegas
We got randomly selected for secuity screening again - apparently it is because we have one way tickets so it will probably happen every time - 3 times already.
Vegas was great - we could see the Bellagio fountain from our room at Bally's. We did some shopping at the miracle mile shops and also M&M world - 4 stories of M&M stuff also Coke World - two stories of coke stuff!
Went to Freemont St downtown where they have 4 blocks covered in and a laser light show (free) every night.
Also went on our flight in a twin engine Cessna to the Grand Canyon - very bumpy but cool.
Did our Hoover dam tour the next day - went down inside it to see the generators.
Did some gambling (sorry mum!) on the slot machines - $1 at a time - i think we gained about as much as we lost!
Our flight to NY was delayed so we finally got into JFK at 9pm last night and made it to our Hostel about 11pm.
Unfortunately they have split our reseveration which means we have to change rooms tonight!
Off to see the sights of NY today - going to Phantom of the Opera at 2pm. Empire state etc.
