Enjoy yourself
Last time Lady H. and I went we drove to Vegas from San Fransisco.

Route 66 and all that!

We stayed at the Luxor and we were both disappointed there, it felt 'unfriendly'.

I think that the atrium, supposedly the largest in the world, made it seem 'empty'.

We stayed there for a couple of days then drove off to the Hoover Dam on route to the Grand Canyon.

Both were, in our opinion, disappointing.

Lake Mead on that route was very pretty though.

The Strip was a different matter.

When we returned from the Canyon we stayed at Treasure Island, now that was great!

A little dearer than the Luxor, but I reckon one of the best hotels that we have ever stayed in.

Just two weeks away now, can't wait!
