VIDEO: Viva Las Vegas

In September we spent six days and nights enjoying the bright lights of the Las Vegas Strip. This video shows some of the highlights of our trip into the 'gambling capital of the western world.

Last year we holidayed in Macau (southern China) and it was interesting comparing the two gambling cultures on opposite sides of the world.

If I had to decide between the two, Macau would probably get my vote as the better of the two places for a casino-related holiday. It's got all the colour and excitement of Vegas inside the massive casino hotels but outside these 'edifices' Macau maintains an old world charm with its mixture of Chinese/Portugese heritage.

However, there's no denying Vegas is a fascinating place - and this video hopefully brings home some of its unique atmospher and colour.
