Finally got around to playing at the Gold Coast Casino (next to the Rio), which completes what I think is all the poker rooms on the strip & downtown, as well as most in the nearby vicinity. I'll consider the rundown of all of them when I get back to Melbourne.
Also did the Vegas Mob tour yesterday, which was great. I'd read a little about the history of Las Vegas and the involvement of the Mob, but the tour helped piece together a few extra things, like the memorial to Ben 'Bugsy' Siegel at the back of the Flamingo. It also makes me want to watch Casino again, which is something I will do when I return home.
Today is my last day in Las Vegas & I'm not quite sure what I'll do - I have a few hours before I need to be at the airport, but airports over here are horrible ... well at the very least Los Angeles airport is with the amount of people & traffic (both human and vehicular) that is there on a regular basis.
Anyway, I've enjoyed my time in the USA. Would love to do it again, particularly if I was able to see more of the country. I suppose that can be my next goal to work on when I get back to Melbourne. I'll continue with the blog (rather than simply being my American travel diary), as well as the podcast when I return home.
Now for the LOOOONG commute ... oh joy!
