THEMED HOTELS IN VEGAS











Well to walk down the strip in las vegas and walk into the hotels that line this road is really something else,most of the hotels are themed such as Paris,this hotel features a scaled down version of the eiffel tower, at the side of it is a replica of the arc de triomphe and all inside are various bistros,cafes,boutiques and french restaurants.It really is tastefully done,but the first thing that hits you with all the hotels as you open their front doors are the slot machines,card tables,roulette wheels and anything else that relates to gambling,and regardless of the time of day or night there are people playing something.Now bearing in mind these hotels are usually four to five thousand room buildings and the floor space dedicated to the gamling is always the ground floor and they are huge.We did venture on to the slot machines today and needless to say we lost(that now means we have lost a euro in the casino in monte carlo and a dollar in the bellagio in las vegas )i hope they are not counting on our money.The Venetian hotel is obviously themed on venice ,it has it`s own st marks square and a little canal system complete with gondolas and little bridges crossing the canal,there is an abundance of designer shops in this hotel.We went back to the Belaggio for our lunch ,now this is a beautiful hotel and their buffet is to die for you can find anything you want be it hot or cold and it is waitress service for any drinks.To sum it up it is a playground for adults with everything in excess,you could really over indulge here .Paula you would do really well here with slimming world class. In fact Paula betty is sleeping her lunch off as i am writing the blog.Well we collected our tickets from the Flamingo hotel earlier on for tonights show with Donny and Marie Osmond and are looking forward to that,we will try and take a few photos if allowed.We are taking a flight to San Francisco tomorrow so will try and post when we get there.Thanks Rob for the photo of rubery!.
