Las Vegas - part 1 (Tues 4th Sept)

Slept in till about midday.  Left the hotel about 1pm & headed down The Strip towards the MGM Grand where the Rainforest Cafe is for lunch.  I got sidetracked by the shops and M&M World on the way and arrived at the Rainforest Cafe about 3pm, where I had a nice lunch.  I then headed over the road to Mandalay Bay to visit the Shark Reef & Aquarium.  After that I made my way back to the hotel via a couple of the other hotels.
