[15:27 PST]

Back in the hotel room. Again we went for a walk along the strip earlier in the day, this time we went down the other side of the road, starting at the Treasure Island and walking down to the Bellagio before finishing up in the MGM on our side of the road again.

Mainly we were seeking out more decorations and it was actually more productive than our first attempt. Each hotel had a small amount of stuff in it, some went a lot further.

Inside Ceasers Palace

Above is the Caesar's Palace shopping area which had the odd bit here and there. However, once we got into the Bellagio, we were greeted by a dedicated Christmas area

Especially impressive were their polar bears - totally made up of white carnations.

Mrs Polar bear - 12,000 white carnations

They also nearby, had an edible Grinch figure made up of chocolate and fondant.

The Grinch...

Finally, we crossed back over to our side of the road and went into the MGM. Their main reception was quite nicely decorated too.

We grabbed a taxi back up to the hotel, where we are currently crashing until it's time for something to eat.

Oh, whilst we were down at the MGM, we decided to queue for some tickets for a show called "The King - with Trent Carlini" it's an Elvis tribute show. Can't do Vegas without a bit of Elvis can you?

Today's our last full day at the Palazzo. Tomorrow we move on to our second hotel.
