Destinations USA 08 - DAY 6 (Cont'd) - To Las Vegas

We left Tusayan (and the Grand Canyon) in the late morning, and headed back on the road, towards Las Vegas. Most of the remaining part of Day 6 was spent travelling...

Leaving the highlands, the snow on the ground gradually disappeared.



At lunch, snapped this:


Post lunch, it was pretty much desert again...


Saw some nice vapor trails in the clear skies...


We passed Laughlin again...


... and continued through the desert through the rest of the afternoon.


We arrived at the outskirts of Las Vegas just before sunset, and visited the Ethel M's Chocolate factory (where they made M&Ms and such)...


Nothing much there, as the factory itself was closed...

Going into Las Vegas, we went to our hotel, Hooters, to put down our stuff, then went across the road to MGM Grand...


At MGM, be passed a cool looking bar...


... and had dinner at the Rainforest Cafe...


... before we went to watch a performace called "KA"


It was a really great show, by Cirque de Soleil. Too bad that they didn't allow photos inside...

After the show, it was back to the hotel for some sleep (maybe not some of the adults, who preferred the Casinos of Vegas)

To be continued...
