We woke up in the Stratosphere Hotel on Saturday morning feeling a little tender, I was half expecting to wake up with a Tiger in the bathroom and a random baby in our room... however instead I woke up to find Amy sat in silence staring into space - by this point we realised if was half past 11 and check out was at 12. Brilliant.
By the time I'd grabbed all the free shampoo/body wash samples and we'd packed our bags it was 1pm. Massive fail, fortunately Greg was sorting the rooms out for the new members of the tour in reception so we gave him the keys to avoid any fines ;)
We were sad to leave our fancy hotel however as the next hotel was only $11 a night - a 10th of the price of the stratosphere - we took our tatty backpacks and were on our way.
Fortunately the hotel was just around the corner from the strip and had two pools, a casino, Starbucks and a buffet! Once we saw where the buffet was we chucked down our bags and went for the ultimate feast, for $12 each we loaded our plates full of anything and everything that took our fancy. I don't even want to think about how many tacos I ate... Our poor waitress had the tiring job of keeping us hydrated and was having to refill our water every 5 minutes, bless her.
An hour or so later we waddled back to our room - waddling is quite a common style of walking in Vegas, especially by people going too and from buffets - before falling asleep to re-runs of 'Friends' and 'How I met your mother'. Wild.
The next day wasn't much better although we did manage to make it to the pool for a couple of hours of tanning. This was after wishing both our Daddy's a happy fathers day of course :). I'm sure they both appreciated our homemade 'card' made up of makeup, toothbrushes, retainers, tampons and another objects we had lurking around. We are such good daughters!!
After our buffet feast the day before, we had lost our appetite however one can never be too full to have a Subway! We realised at this point that we were both wearing our pjs... At 6pm. We quickly got changed into something a bit mire presentable and made our way into the casino area. As we were walking we started laughing at something random - a lack of sunlight has turned us both into complete cretins- when Amy went ''HAHAHA!!!... Omg I'm not wearing a bra.''
Needless to say I found this highly amusing as did Sparks until we walked into the Casino which is basically full of perverts and cray cray types. Mega LOL!
The guys working at Subway were hilarious and obviously high on something/a bit cray cray, I asked for a salad and he spent the next 10 minutes slowly pointing at the different vegetables I could have. Then it took him a good few minutes to find the orange juice in the fridge, offering me an Apple juice twice by mistake. Seriously?!?
Once we got our food we hurried back to our rooms for another night of tv and sleep. We were both shattered still and got genuinely excited when we saw that 'Hitch' was playing on the movie channel - and we don't even like that film that much! Tragic.
Here's the few photos we took of our two days of recovery.
