Travelling America - Las Vegas & Route 66

Our next stop was Las Vegas and took quite a few hours on the coach, so we caught up on some sleep and watched a couple of films. The scenery was beautiful, so I spent a while just listening to music and watching it as we drove through the desert. It wasn't long however until we hit Sin City and right from the boarder you knew you were in Vegas. 


Of course we got the opportunity to take a picture with the famous 'Welcome to Las Vegas' sign on the way to dinner at Planet Hollywood. 


I had the most amazing salmon salad, I can't even begin to explain how delicious this was! I'm drooling just thinking about it, I could have eaten 3 of them!


Obviously you can't visit Vegas without meeting Elvis! We were lucky enough to be surprised by our tour guide with a fake Vegas wedding in which two of our group were 'married'. I have the most hilarious videos of this Elvis singing and dancing, it was definitely one to remember.


Another perk included on our trip was a limo ride around Vegas with a bottle of champagne. The views were incredible and there was something that felt so extravagant about getting dressed up and driven around. Maybe the bubbles went to our heads but I will admit we stuck our heads out the windows (in our defence, there was no sunroof!).  


Obviously being under 21 I couldn't gamble at the casinos or go into any bars but that didn't mean we wasted our evenings, as it's Vegas there's always something going on. We took a ride on the High Roller (their version of the London Eye) at 2am(!), just because we could and it gave us some incredible views of the city, I swear it never sleeps! As well as this we watched the Fremont Street Experience, which is something I would recommend to anyone visiting. It's an amazing light show that covers the entire street like a ceiling. For 10 minutes all of the casino and street lights turn out leaving just the light show.


Aren't these pictures incredible?!
After a couple of nights in Vegas we all dragged ourselves onto the bus, I came away from those two nights having had around 6 hours sleep in total but when in Vegas right?
We got some much needed sleep on the coach before pit stopping in the quaint little town on Route 66 called Seligman. It was adorable and I literally felt like I was on the set of a cowboy movie! We took some touristy pictures and had a look around the little shop, it was so fun to see a forgotten about town that used to be on such an important highway.

That's all for this part. Make sure you keep following to see where we got to next.
