Though we'd eaten on the flight from JFK-PHX, by the time we arrived and unpacked, hunger (possibly further exasipated by jet-lag) had asserted itself, so we found ourselves in Planet Dailies, the 24 hour Casino-side restaurant with a menu the length of a novel, with pretty much every style of cooking in the world represented! Of course, the fact that we'd got a discount voucher in our goodies pack at check-in was purely co-incidental....

And so, with the offered discount stretching our budget, steak and chips (sorry, fries) was our choice of meal, served without any regard to the fact that it was well past midnight!


After much needed sleep for both myself and Willard, we wandered back into the "Miracle Mile" the next morning and found ourselves inexorably drawn to "Las Vegas Cheeseburger", as an alternative breakfast option. After some negotiation with the hostess, we managed to barter the offered "unlimited coffee" for "unlimited hot tea", to better match Willard's British palate!

The menu proudly announced "Yes, you can have a cheeseburger for breakfast", so we felt we just had to take them up on the offer, and would have to say that it's an unconventional but very Vegas-style breakfast for a slightly sleepy bear!


So, for our only full day in Vegas, Willard has decided to stick with the Top Gear Challenge rules and use the Las Vegas Bus system. Here he is on the top deck of "The Deuce", which is a regular shuttle service running up and down the strip. On the plus side, the 7 dollar 24 hour pass gives access not only to this service, but to the whole of the Vegas bus system, and it's actually pretty tourist-friendly. On the minus side, we saw no evidence of the Deuce Ambassadors promised by the LVRTC website, and the driver who sold us our transit pass had the whole "service with a snarl" thing really worked out!
