Leaving San Francisco, but first coffee and a bagel at my breakfast-place round the corner.

Check-out, and an airport-shuttle to San Francisco Airport. Check-in at AmericaWest, that for 70$ will take me to Las Vegas. Tickets has been bought by internet from back home.

In Las Vegas you don't need much time to find out where you are. The arrival-hall is full of slot-machines.

It's time for my first walk down "The Strip", where most of the hotels and casinos are placed. Back to Luxor for the evening, and my first visit to a casino. I win a little on the slots, and dine at Pharaos Feast, with an all-you-can-eat buffet for 15$.

Get up late before going to the casino. I winn a little again, before heading for the "city" - or should I say "The Strip" - walking up and down this weird place.

Or what about watching a 10 year old japanese-girl climbing a 30-meter high climbing-wall in another casino,

Back to Luxur. Buffet-lunch at Pharaos Feast (10$] before a little relaxation at my room. In the evening im going to Downtown Las Vegas - or should I say Freemont Street, where there is a huge lightshow called The Freemont ...
