2015 Holiday (Part 5) - Las Vegas

Next stop on our holiday was Vegas!

We got up nice and early and headed out to the Vancouver International Airport for our flight.  We arrived in Vegas just after lunch and went to pick up our hire car.  Wade ended up upgrading the car to the V8 Mustang (while I was off getting him a drink!!).

This time in Vegas we decided to stay at the MGM Grand, and after checking in and dropping off our bags, we jumped back in the car and headed to Fashion Show Mall.  We wandered around the shops for a while and then drove back down the strip towards the Bellagio.  There were so many people in Vegas in the lead up to New Years, the trip along the strip took forever.  We finally made it to the car park at the Bellagio, and headed inside towards the buffet (which is one of our traditions in Vegas)!!  When we got there we were greeted with a really long line, but knowing how good it was we joined it, and just over an hour later we were seated and the food fest began!!  As usual it did not disappoint and by the time we left we could barely move!!  After dinner we walked back along the strip to our hotel (it was really cold in Vegas, so we walked pretty quickly)!

For our second day in Vegas, we headed to the outlets in the morning for some shopping.  After a few hours it was time for a late lunch so we drove to a nearby In-N-Out Burger shop (something Wade has been wanting to do on our last few trips to the US).  Then it was off to Walmart to pick up our usual end of trip supplies (ie. Candy)!!!  Wade wanted to go to a shooting range as well, but when we got out there, it was a really long wait to have a go, so we called it quits and headed back to our hotel.

For dinner tonight we went to a really nice Japanese restaurant at our hotel called Shibuya.  After dinner we went for one last walk down the strip before heading back to the MGM Grand.  We had an early start the next day as our flight was at 6.45am!

Here are some photos from our time in Vegas:
