Grand Canyon #Day12

Driving day today!
 Left Vegas at 9am with a couple of stops along the way to the Grand Canyon.  
Stopped at the famous Route 66 to grab a photo!! 
 

(There is nect to no internet/reception here so I will post more photos at a later date!) 
 
Arrived at the Canyon at 5pm and had a quick glimpse before dinner. It is absolutely stunning! So amazed at the pure size and beauty of it.  
 
 
Tomorrow morning we fly over the Canyon in a helicopter! 

Las Vegas #Day11

Our only full day in Vegas! Today got to a scorching 47 degrees Celsius! Apparently it's the hottest it's been in 20 years. Let's just say we weren't spending a whole lot of time outside just jumping casino to casino to escape the heat.

Our whole contiki group: 
 We spent the day exploring all the different themed casinos from, Rome, Paris and Bellagio. The detail in every building was just amazing! 
 
  
 
 
 
We had a late afternoon swim at our hotel that has an aquarium in the middle so it feels like you a swimming next to the fish and sharks! It also has a water slide straight through the middle of the aquarium which was so awesome! 
 
 
We got all dressed up and went back out to the Vegas Strip. We went to Gordon Ramsey's restaurant for dinner and then went on a party bus that took us around Vegas for just over an hour!
