Contiki Day 11 - Vegas!

After an early night in, having a bit of a pj party with the girls getting psyched for vegas, we piled onto the bus with huge excitement. Today was VEGAS DAY!! Good news was we had time on our side as we were crossing into pacific time, but it was another long haul. First stop was at the historic site of route 66 – Seligman Arizona - the real Radiator Springs from the movie Cars. It was raining and miserable, but as the good daughters we are, we stood in the rain to take photos for our doting fathers (who would have shot us if we missed the opportunity!) We saw the real Mater (tow truck from the movie) and took some cute touristy photos, but mainly we just wanted to get back on the road to Sin City. 

Lunch stop was at our last Walmart visit of the tour, and the compulsory eating of In & Out Burger (even if we did order like girls and get a cheeseburger normal rather than ‘animal style’ or any of the other ways off the secret menu...*google it.)

We drove past the Hoover Dam and Lake Meade... The largest man made lake in the world. Very cool!

The next time we got off the bus, it was at the official Vegas sign!! Very excitable as you can imagine. 

It was hot, we were amped, and the Superbowl was due to kick off so we checked in, bought a souvenir tshirt and got ready for the game of the year.

The majority of us ended up crammed into the one hotel room as the game turned out to be a nail biter (did you watch it?!) with Monte freaking out because hes a crazy 49ers fan, and a few of the guys were going for the Ravens just to mess with him.

Straight after the game we all piled back onto the bus for a family style Italian dinner, and then a trip down to old Vegas and The Fremont Street Experience. We purchased some 99c margaritas, and unsuccessfully tried a few slot machines before heading back onto the bus for our next destination.

Mysteriously, the bus ‘broke down’ outside the Little Graceland Chapel  so we all piled inside *some us knowing that it was all a hoax and we were in for a surprise...* and we had a contiki wedding! Its a bit of a tradition apparently, but instead of choosing randoms to say the vows, Kelly and Dylan (in a 5 year strong relationship) got picked and had to say I DO, Elvis style. It was very entertaining!

Back onto the bus it was, for the ‘Wedding Reception’. We went to Pure bar in Caesar’s Palace and had a wicked awesome night, where the girls got in for free, and the boys had to buy all the drinks
