And a quick tourist-y picture of Willard and Bellagio, very iconic, and, to be fair to Vegas architects, they do seem to manage to make their multi-thousand room behemoths look quite impressive from the outside.

Back to the Miracle Mile for a late breakfst before we pack and travel back to McCarran. This was actually a pretty good deal at the Mexican restaurant, $3.95 for breakfast, so good, we had to celebrate with a Mimosa!

After a relatively uneventful check-in back at Las Vegas Terminal 2 (including one of the most polite secondary handbaggage screening I've ever had!) we arrive at one of the most exclusive lounges in the bmi network, the T2 international VIP lounge, accessible by business/first class passengers ONLY - no Diamond Club Gold (programme rules be damned), no Star Golds, no Priority Pass, no excuses!

....Bears, on the other hand are welcomed! For the last time in the forseeable future, Willard checks in at this LAS lounge, and is instantly recognised (after all it isn't his first time here) by the staff and accorded the VIB treatment he justly deserves!

The well stocked, and complimentary, serviced bar is a welcome contrast to the US domestic lounges, and, even more so the United "Red Carpet Club" that we've been inhabiting for the last few days. Not quite the Lufthansa First Class Terminal, to be sure, but nevertheless, it contains all of the gold-plated oppulence that a septegenerian first-time Vegas Jackpot winner would no doubt associate with having arrived in the big time!
