Day 21 - Toronto to Las Vegas

Our day today started early as our flight to Las Vegas was at 9:30 from Toronto so we got a taxi around 7 to the airport.  Thankfully we did because neither of us have been through so many checks, screens, queue's before in our life.  By the time we got through Security we had about $15 Canadian $  left and 40 mins to boarding.

So, we used our $15 wisely and got a coffee each and a muffin to share.  Of course, then they don't actually serve food so we had to pay for that on the flight also.   What we didn't realise was that you basically left Canada and went through Customs for the US before boarding the plane, which meant that we didn't have to do the Customs thing here (one small mercy).  By the time we got here (around 4.5 hr flight) we were done.  Then we got to the Bellagio and waited in a queue for 1/2 hr to check in.

This is no ordinary hotel.  It is pretty up-market and it seems everyone stays here, or maybe we just arrived with other flights.  Seemed pretty busy for a Sunday afternoon.  Anyway, thankfully our room was ready so we came straight up, freshened up a little and went out to find some lunch because we were pretty hungry!

We overlook the multiple pools that his hotel has (at least 7 or 8) and you almost need a packed lunch to get to our room.  Anyway, looking forward to just relaxing for a few days.

Graham and one of his friends are here for a couple of days so we're going to catch-up with them in another hr or so for a drink and some dinner I think.  

Ian and I have both agreed that the next week is a rest week, where we don't have to be anywhere, or feel like we have to do anything.  Looking forward to that:). I've only been here a few hours and I've already bought 2 pair of shoes:). So that's a good start I think
