Arrived in Las Vegas around 9 am, and was pleased to be able to check-in early at Planet Hollywood hotel. Well, it is apparently low season so they could do so. I checked out the casino, but wasn't very impressed. Interestingly, the casinos here do not have those body scanner machines or even guards to check your age, unlike the casinos in Genting Highlands and in Macau. Pretty casual to the point that anyone can walk in and out.
First stop, shopping! Am so deprived of shopping that my first stop was the Premium Outlet Shopping. Why pay full price when you can get it 60% off? Annoyingly, it took an hour via public transport to get there. It's probably only 5 miles out from the Strip. Ah well.....
And man, I did sooo much shopping that I had to literally stop shopping because I was unable to physically carry my bags anymore. At times like this, a boyfriend would definitely have been very handy. Or a maid will do as well. Hehe....
Came back, grab a quick dinner and was off to watch America's Got Talent Live, hosted by Jerry Springer. It was good entertainment, but I think Britain's Got Better Talent. Hhehehe...
Oh, and the winner of Season 2 America's Got Talent, Terry Fator, was in the audience as he is now performing his own show at the Mirage. If you have never watched him perform, I suggest you youtube him now. He is a ventriloquist, comedian, impressionist and singer; all in one package! I managed to catch a DVD of him performing and he is excellent. Totally blew my mind watching him sing.
After the show, I went to walk along the Strip.
