American Road Trip Day 9 - Las Vegas, NV

So woke up this morning feeling rather groggy and decided to spend a day of recuperation and relaxation. My first port of call is to book myself in somewhere new. As much as I enjoyed staying at the Venetian - it's not somewhere I plan on staying twice!

So I go back to my trusty Priceline.com and then realise that the thing I want more than anything today, is to make sure I get a good WiFi connection. On my first night here, I didn't have it (which was fine as really I was just after a place to sleep). So I got to hotwire.com as this shows you what amenities you get when you book.

$55 for a 4 star hotel/casino. That sounds alright, and it's South Strip, so it can't be far from here. I book. I pay.

Wrong. It's 7.7 miles south of here. Still not sober enough to drive, this results in a $35 taxi ride. Each way. Ouch. I spend the rest of the day chilling out, eating burgers and hot-dogs and catching up with Jon for a Minecraft session. Good times.
