We returned on Monday after 6 hectic days. It was certainly a lot hotter than I had expected but weather broke down just as we entered the plane and we sat on the runway for 2 hours due to rain and wind. Couldn't believe it- Aberdeen airport would never be open if they panicked as much

.
Loved the Platinium hotel. I have done a review for it. I particularly liked the fact that it did not have a casino. Less than 10 minutes walk took you to the centre of the strip. We did eat at Ellis Island once, after recommendations here and a big thumbs up for it

. But has anyone stopped at their bar? We had a whale of a time there- karaoke nights- something I usually avoid like the plague but the locals were good. Funniest thing ever was Elvis lookalike( so he thought anyway) aka Vince. The worst Elvis singer ever and everyone cheered and treated him as a star-I'm sure he thinks he's great. Another good thing about the bar are the drink prices. A bacardi and a beer were 5 dollars.
I love the shows we went to. First one was the Rat Pack- a dinner and show package and well worth it. Also it was at the Plaza so we nipped over to Freemont to see the light show

We hummed and haad over whether or not to go to Elvis as OH is a huge fan. Glad we did. Both of us really enjoyed it. Just before that we went to the Aria buffet and that was fantastic. We preferred it to Spice market( which was also great). We left the best show till last- Le Reve. That was definitely spellbinding and how do you explain it to anyone??
Another great show we saw was one we came across during the day- at Hawiaan Marketplace. The Love Brothers- fabulous singers and we sat for almost a couple of hours.
We enjoyed the Titanic exhibition at Luxor. Also was surprised by what we saw of Luxor as I know it doesn't get rave reviews but it looked ok to me. However, it does seem to be getting done up just now. Favourite hotels were Ceasar's Palace and Venetian for wandering around in.
