Some time ago we decided that we'd get married by Elvis in Las Vegas.
We couldn't just go to the US for a few days, so we decided to make a holiday of it.
What follows are the photos and stories of our trip.

Wednesday, September 19

Vegas is Awesome!

Hi everyone - yes it has been a few days since our last post - we are having such a great time in this amazing place that we haven't had the chance to update the blog. It's extremely hot - around 35-40 degrees most days so we are sleeping in and heading out early afternoon and getting home anywhere between midnight and 2.00 am!

We have been catching up with Dani, Merrilyn and Alan every day and just trapsing up and down the Strip wandering in and out of hotels - once you get in it's almost impossible to get back out again so we've only seen a few of them. We managed to see the water fountains at the Bellagio, Volcano eruption at the Mirage, Gondolier rides at the Venetian etc etc.

Luke went crazy at the factory outlets today and is now the proud owner of five more watches!!! I think that brings him up to about 20 - you can never have too many apparently.

Tonight we went to Treasure Island to see Cirque Du Soleil's Mystere - we were mesmerised! Oh prior to that we were in a great bar where if the crowd made enough noise they got free shots - directly into their mouth from the bartender.

As you can tell from the ramblings we've been doing heaps, but I think we've only seen .5% of the place.

Just in case anyone missed it the link to the webcam is http://www.vivalasvegasweddings.com/livevideofeed.htm. We'll be in the "Main Chapel" so to view that feed be sure to click on the Icon that says "Our Main Chapel" (the first one). A reminder as well it'll be showing at 11:30am Saturday September 22nd Hobart/Melbourne time.

You'll need to have RealPlayer installed which you can download from www.real.com, to test it you can click the link at any time but before Saturday you'll probably just see Elvis telling you the wedding hasn't started yet. It might not start exactly at 11:30am either so don't lose hope if you still see Elvis, just close RealPlayer and click on the icon to try again.

That's about it for now - it's just turned 2.15 am and we're beat. Time to get some sleep so we're ready for some more adventures.

We hope you are all well - keep the comments coming we enjoying reading them (does this make up for the lost days Rae?).
