After an 8 hour flight to Chicago, some light exercise shuffling forward in the immigration queue was probably good for our circulation, but I wouldn't recommend 90 minutes queueing followed by a mad run for the connecting flight ... we thought we would be seeing more of the Windy City than we had planned!

Within moments of arrival at Vegas we saw rows of slots in the airport, but resisted. We picked up the car, cruised down the Strip, amazed at the size of everything and checked in at the Silver Sevens Casino. After eating we wandered round the casino fairly bemused at the number of machines, the flashing lights and intent gamers. Had a go at a blackjack slot for ten minutes, and won $1.45 which was a result. Had an early night having been up 24hrs.

 

Awoke to the sound of a chainsaw ... there's a chap up a palm tree in the car park, giving it a haircut!

Anyway, here we are, breakfast under our belts, and about to hit the trail with our trusty grey Chrysler ... Zion here we come!
