DAY 1 Sat 26th
flew from Newcastle airport to Amsterdam it was a bit crazy because they have self check in machines now. Never mind we managed. Flight was good to Amsterdam quick and easy. We arrived Amsterdam and god didn't realise it was so big but i found it was expensive.
Found our terminal where we had to wait for our plane to Atlanta, we were flying with delta airlines to Vegas. Flight was good with plenty of entertainment and plenty of room. I'm a veggie and i found the meals basic although they came around plenty of times with drinks.
Upon arrival of Atlanta we were told there was thunder storms and when we landed i have never seen so much heavy rain. The plane was then delayed on the tarmac due to another plane at our gate awaiting push back, we waited 30 mins to get to gate.
We got to immigration and there was another hold up, never mind. Got through that then we waited ages for our baggage. We then proceeded to gate for our flight to Vegas to be told the gate had shut and the plane had went without us, and some other passengers! To this we were horrified as we had made plans for the night which had to be cancelled, never mind. We were put on to next flight to Vegas, we arrived in Vegas about 8.30 pm at this time we were shattered but at least we were there.
DAY 2 sun 27th
We stayed at the Imperial Palace which is a good hotel. We got up refreshed and we went for our breakfast which we thought was good value for money with plenty of choice. We decided to get the deuce bus to the outlet shopping centre in which i thought was great, got lots of shopping. At nite we went to games works for our tea i had pizza which was really nice, it was getting late so we went back to hotel where we played roulette and our luck was in we then retired to bed for a good sleep
DAY 3 28th
Again got up had breakfast had a look around and done more shopping. At night we went to see the legends Ive always wanted to go and see them but never found the time, this time we did i was so pleased because i had a great nite and i had my picture done with Elvis. The Micheal Jackson act was excellent. We also went up the stratosphere on this day it was good too .
DAY 4 29th
Today we decided to have a look at the primm outlet centre this took us 45 mins to get here we went at 11 am and got picked up at 3pm this was a wasted day. The outlet centre was not very good i found it expensive and it never had the shops it really stated. then we went to treasure island shopping mall which was better, i felt this was a wasted day but never mind i was still enjoying myself. Late afternoon we went up the Eiffel tower where we got some good camera shots of the ballegio and up the strip
DAY 5 30th
Last day today we just chilled done more last minute shopping and done the rest of the packing had out tea then retired to bed early as we had an early flight the next morning
DAY 6th
Flight from lasvegas to Atlanta was on time again had good seats. got to Atlanta had bit time so we had a meal then looked around. the flight from Atlanta to gatwick was basic no tvs to ourselves u had to watch what was on the big screens tried my hardiest to sleep but couldn't. never had my meal just drinks. we arrived in gatwick bit of a nightmare as we didn't have the right e ticket for our flight up to Newcastle we had a delta one instead of a flybe so we waited 30 mins while we got sorted out. we eventually got to the plane we were back in Newcastle.
Overall i had a great time the weather was excellent and i cant wait for my next trip to Vegas.
