Lazy day

last night we had dinner at the peppermill lounge in las vegas. we discovered it last time we were in vegas, and liked it, so we just went again... :) although i have never seen such a restaurant in the us before, i think its very american. big booths with pluche seats, a large table, and lots of neonlights everywhere. and the portions? crazy, crazy big. even for american standards. i had a salad and tim a starter; half or so was lunch for today... nice! i had a margarita and tim a gin tonic, hmmmm...
today we didnt do too much, compared to the days before. as i read in the comments, it must be quite a cultureshock... well, yes. but, unexpectly, its a welcome one! we saw so much, we had a natural beauty-overload.... and..  we are staying at the trump hotel, which is so very luxurious, and... we dont have to pay! the room is enormous, and the bathroom is crazy big too, with a huge jacuzzi. the bathrobes are very nice too :) so much luxury (i never saw so many towels in a hotelroom, there are 2 sinks and there is a tv in the huge mirror above it, for whatever reason...), it feels a little weird, and wasteful, but nice at the same time. only thing i dont like is that there is only valetparking, so everytime you need your car they get it for you... thats actually how we got the 2 free nights (and is the reason we are here again); we stayed in this hotel in may last year (through some discount site, ofcourse, its far too expensive for us!), and then the valet made a scratch on our rental car (luckily we had insurance), but the hotel really didnt handle it well while we were here and never admitted that it happened while they handled the car... so eventually they just gave us 2 free nights....
anyways, we did some laps in the fancy outdoor pool, went to the shopping outlet center (booooring), drove to the desert and took numerous pictures, and the day was over again. tomorrow we go back to boston, where its supposed to be quite cold!

In the Trump hotel, well, well, that must be a weird experience, but funny at the same time. To have all the luxury can be crazy for a while. Sad to go back to normal again tomorrow.
