vegas

Tuesday 13th August 2019
Today I went to the spa first thing in the morning and had s soak in there for about 4 hours.  Once I got back to the room we headed out for lunch and got some really nice Raising Cane's chicken.  That was at the southern outlet stores so we then went shopping and Bronte got some new sneakers.  After that we went back to the room for a little while before we ventured out for dinner. Went for Cracker Barrel tonight as we hadn't been this trip and we really enjoy the meal there.  After that we drove to Fremont street to experience the old Vegas.  We had a nice walk around for s bit over an hour before heading back to the room around midnight.

Once again a morning spa to start the day and then off to the Hollywood Cars Museum. It wasn't too bad but the cars were imitation as in not the actual screen used ones.  A few were but most not.  There were some really nice ones and some really bad.  The place could have done with a big clean as well.  From there it was off to Kounts Kustoms for a look as well.  Tonight we have tickets for Janet Jackson which is going to be really nice.  Janet was performing just the other side of New York New York so it was only about a 20 minute walk.  She put on a good show and it was packed out.  After the concert we got some dinner on the strip at the Outback Steakhouse before stumbling back to our room slightly intoxicated! We had a great night.

Again to the spa to start the day and then it was s nice drive to boulder City to the Hoover Dam and bridge.  Took is around 5 hours by the time we drove out,  walked across the bridge and then walked across the dam.  It was hot,  at one point the temp gauge read 121 degrees F. It was nice to finish our last day in Vegas with a trip to the dam.  Tomorrow we head to Palm Springs.

Today we head to Palm Springs.  This is going to be total relaxation and not much else.  It was a 4 hour drive through the desert towards Twentynine Palms where we stopped for lunch at Popeyes. We got to the resort about 3pm and checked in.  It really was beautiful and it was going to be a great 3 days.  They had happy hour between 5 and 6 where the management put on drinks and nibbles so we could get to know the others.  Ended up in the pool and spa for most of the night and just a little drunk.  I think I went to bed at 3am. Met another aussie from Sydney who was a really nice guy.  Lots of pool time for the weekend add it's around 45 degrees everyday.
