Day 10: The Road To Las Vegas.

Enjoy a bit of a long lie today.  Breakfast is delivered to our room at 8:15am.  The car is loaded with all the luggage and we check out the Candy Cane Inn.
We will definitely stay here for a third time on our next visit to LA.

Head off up the road to Las Vegas.  We head for Calico Ghost Town just outside Barstow.

Girls locked up!!

The entrance fee was quite cheap and it was fine for an hours stop to break up the trip.

Back in the car and off again to Baker for lunch.  Stop for a Taco Bell!!

That's 42°C in UK.  In Baker at lunchtime.

Drive the rest of the way and the Sat Nav directs us to the hotel with no problems.
We are staying at the Staybridge Suites.  Nice as it's a one bedroom suite with a full kitchen and washer dryer.
Unpack and pop a few washings on!!

We order some food to be delivered for tea and after that drive over to the MGM Grand to find the CSI: The Experience.

After walking about the hotel for what seemed like ages, we find the area and buy our tickets.

Off down the escalator and choose the mystery to be solved.

After solving the mystery with the correct answer you get a certificate!  If you want this here you have to pay extra for it!  Think they could have printed it for free as part of the entry fee and even maybe a free pen or something.

Anyway, it was well layed out and good fun.  We've done something similar at the Edinburgh Science Festival, but not with the same effects.

We have a walk next door to M&M's World and Coke World.  Buy some wee nick knacks.

We find our car and drive down the strip showing Meghan all the hotels lit up.  We see the wedding chapels and drive back up the strip.

Wynn's at night

Back to our htoel and have a cuppa before bed.  We bought a kettle on the first day and brought Twinnings T-bags as you can't beat a good cuppa!! 

Night, night!!
