Finally a sleep in! Knowing that we only had a 4.5 hour drive into Vegas and we couldn’t check in until 2:00pm there was need need to rush. We got up, went to the hotel cafe’ and had breakfast then back up top the room to pack up and head out.

Our first stop for the day was a lookout just a few miles outside of Page, once again…WOW. If we had know exactly has amazing the scenery was we would have dragged our weary butts out the night before to get some pictures when we had good light. But we didn’t know and the rest before hitting Vegas was much needed. We carried on driving and came to a beautiful town named Kanab that is seven miles North of the Arizona border. We made a note to research this town further as a potential place to live, It had us written all over it.

The drive out of Page and heading back up into Utah was beautiful with the exception of the massive amount of power lines. I have nothing against power lines but these were always on the side of the road that had the great view. I see many hours playing with Photoshop to remove them from some of my photos.

Not far past Kanab we came across a sign for Coral Pink Sand Dunes and of course had to go see what it was. What we thought would be a side trip turned out to be a short cut down a dirt road, once again I love our GPS. The sand dunes were well worth the side trip and the dirt road with the beautiful scenery made it that much better.

We still managed to get into Vegas right on time, found NY NY with no problems and managed to wait in the long line for over half an hour to check in without losing our cool, after all its Vegas! I have been to Vegas before but it has been a long time, last time I stayed in Vegas was at Excalibur and NY NY was still being built. If you are going to Vegas I don’t recommend staying here, don’t waste your money. Our room was seriously a five minute hike from the elevators, how do they expect drunks to stagger that far? The room itself was very nice, we had booked a spa room and it was huge but the casino right now is not exactly our idea of fun. There is construction going on and the days are filled with the sounds of jackhammers.

When we finally got to our room we ordered room service and enjoyed a bottle of bubbly before getting dressed and heading out. We went to Excalibur, Mandalay Bay, Luxor and all the way down the strip to Caesars Palace stopping and having a drink at every hotel and casino along the way. We eventually decided getting one really big drink and carrying it around so we could drink all the time was a better idea so we got a couple of 32oz drinks from Fat Tuesdays and proceeded to get very drunk. Despite being fueled by alcohol our feet eventually gave out and we made our way back to the hotel and passed out.
