A vegas show

Wednesday night we went to a vegas show (i love saying that a vegas show☺).  It was the tournament of kings at the Excalibur casino.  It was like Australian outback spectacular in that it was a dinner show with horses etc except it was a medieval theme. The arena was divided up into 8 different teams  and each team had a name ie team Ireland Team Norway etc and there was a king competing in the tournament from each team so it was really interactive and you had to cheer for your team and the boys loved it.  The meal was ok, a tomato soup, a whole cornish hen and veges and an apple danish for dessert.  There was no cutlery supplied so that you ate like they did in medieval times, the boys thought this was brilliant!  The show was great,  certainly not to the standard of the outback spectacular but very entertaining.

The vegas strip is beginning to feel like the streets of Vietnam with the amount of hawkers and pan handlers. There's homeless people everywhere and people dressed up in costumes like transformers and minions who charge a few bucks for a photo. Their costumes are pretty awful and looking quite dated but it adds to the vibe.  What really drives me crazy is the scalpers and tour guide people that are trying to sell you tour tickets! Speaking of tickets....we were offered so many free show tickets when we walked through the casinos. We'd already bought our show tickets so we didn't find out any more about this but that's a tip for anyone coming to vegas....walk through the casino looking like a tourist and you'll get free tickets and maybe even a girlfriend for the night.

We've decided to drive to the canyon tomorrow both because the bus is almost  $1000 and we want the freedom of driving so we can stop wherever we want. It's probably going to be a 12 hour round trip so I best be heading to bed.
Night.
