America Day 9 - Sunday 13th October

As we were leaving on Sunday morning, we saw a tarantula running around the campsite, which made us all shiver at the thought of it being there the night before! We then wandered around the Valley of Fire area, looking at petrified logs, ripples in rocks and the visitor’s centre, where we saw lizards, scorpions and tarantulas.

We left there at 11:30am, and at 1:30pm we arrived on the outskirts of Las Vegas, where we had a brief look at the geology around Vegas whilst we waited to be able to check into the New York New York Hotel at 3pm.

We headed out at 7pm to look around Las Vegas and all had dinner in the Arena 24 restaurant in the MGM building, before looking around Vegas. We saw several of the casinos, went in to a couple of the souvenir shops, and did varying amounts of gambling.
