Las Vegas, Nevada -

We arrived here last night and are staying at a lovely timeshare resort (thank you Michael) called Tahiti Village (view from our balcony -right). It is brand new and we have a 2 bedroom apartment with 2 bathrooms, 2 kitchens, 4 TV' s and 3 DVD's so everyone is happy to have a week's R&R here. My only complaints are the internet is $11 US per day so if you don't hear from us for a few days you'll understand why and the beautiful looking lagoon beach style pool is too cold. Also unusually for the USA they have the European style washer/dryer in one machine thing which I hate as it literally takes 2 hours to wash and another to dry! Don't ever buy one of these machines!
This is my 4th time in Las Vegas but the first for the children who are very excited about seeing the lights at night.

A lot of people are quick to criticise Las Vegas but we enjoy it. It is unlike anywhere else on the planet and anything goes here in the city that never sleeps. We take it for what it is and have fun, enjoy the sights and the lights.
