Whilst we have chosen to treat this 10 hour (ish) flight to Las Vegas as a day flight, Willard is happy to demonstrate the fully-flat position of our seat for our readers. We hope to take advantage of this more fully on the flight back!

As we approach our destination, we are served with another of bmi's unique features, the "Mad Hatter's" Tea Party service - a platter of mixed goodies (mini-sandwiches, thai fishcake, strawberries, mini-scones with clotted cream and jam, fresh strawberries. and a meringue) to fortify us for our arrival.


As we land, we again see how close the Las Vegas strip is to McCarran Airport - you can pick out many of the famous hotels in this skyline.....

Willard checks in at Planet Hollywood, one of the three (soon to be four) Starwood hotels in Las Vegas. Our Starwood Gold status allows us to use the VIP check-in, and bypass the 40 or 50 deep queue for the main reception desks. Also, true to the Planet Holywood ethos, Willard was mobbed by adoring fans (well, two girls) as soon as he got off the shuttle bus!


Our upgraded room is very nice for the rate paid, and will serve us well for our short stay here - the old Aladdin resort has been updated with plasma TV's and other "Hollywood" touches to make a very acceptable place to stay in Vegas.
