Ey up, sorry about the last post, tried it via internetTV in the hotel room, a nightmare interface. This is our last night in Las Vegas before we move on to New Orleans. We hired a car for a couple of days and went driving through large parts of Nevada and Arizona, an 11 hour drive to spend an hour looking into a big hole in the ground (Grand Canyon). Arizona appears to be mostly flat, deserted and Godforsaken, stopped in Armpit for a bite to eat, the Roadkill Cafe! The place claimed to be the birthplace of Route 66, I think it was stilborn. We also went to the Hoover Dam, that's awesome. Food here is generally good, and plenty of it, we have frequented the eat as much as you can buffets. We went to see the Queen show - We Will Rock You, a couple of nights ago in Paris, er, that's Paris, Nevada as opposed to the real one. This really is the city that never sleeps, it takes a hardcore gambler to be at it at 7am on a Monday morning, but Mrs YS was down there. I lost $11 and called it a night. The casinos here are improbably large, the MGM where we are staying is about the size of Huddersfield. This morning we went to the Veterans Day Parade, I like this side of American life, they have a real pride in their armed forces and a deep seated appreciation for those who have served. The parade went on for nearly three hours with hundreds of veterans associations and schools represented. Tonight we are going to a flash restaurant, there are plenty of them here alongside the cheap and cheerful, you can easily spend 30 quid on a main course. I shall relate one other small story to amuse you dear readers. I was combining two of lifes pleasures, drinking, and reading, when I thought I would combine them with a third, having a nice hot bath. Not really paying attention whilst I ran the bath I poured a bottle into the water, it was only when the minty smell hit me that I realised that I had not emptied bubble bath into the water, but rather the bottle of complimentary mouthwash. Yours, smelling fresh and minty, Yorkshiresoul. P.S. This toothpaste tastes like shampoo.
