Day 2 in Las Vegas, and after a leisurely breakfast in our room (including a passable flat white from the Starbucks in the lobby) we headed out to explore more of the strip. Braving the heat, we walked to Ceasar's Palace and wandered through the casino and the attached shopping mall with its fake facades and its fake sky, stopping for lunch at the Cheesecake Factory, which as it turns out offers a lot more than just cheesecake (including fish tacos). From there we continued up the strip to the Venetian, where there is another shopping mall with a fake sky and, in line with the Venice theme, fake canals with fake gondolas. On the way back we passed Paris Las Vegas, with its fake (half-sized) Eiffel Tower and fake Arc de Triomphe. We were pretty hot by this stage, though thankfully not too sweaty as the heat in Vegas is dry, and retired to our room to rest before heading out to dinner at a nearby tapas restaurant. Mindful that we had an early start the next morning, we went to bed early.
