The main reason we came to Las Vegas was to celebrate our 25th wedding anniversary by renewing our vows at A Elvis Chapel We were all dressed and ready for the limousine ride to A Elvis Chapel. The Elvis impersonator was great and made it a memorable day to celebrate our 25th anniversary. One group of …
Today we picked up the Harley-Davidson’s we hired from Las Vegas Harley-Davidson. We then rode down to Hoover Dam and did the tour. Parking is a rip off if you’re on a bike. They charge you the came as a car yet expect you to park in a motorcycle only area. After Hoover Dam we went back …
Today we visited The Gun Garage and shot some firearms that we don’t see in Australia. We opted for the HK USP, Uzi, M4 and AK47. Later in the day the lads and I walked up to Caesars Palace and settled in at the MonteCristo Cigar Bar for some cold ales whilst sampling one of their fine …

Well the day finally arrived and we headed to the Brisbane International airport, we had organised pre-paid parking. The signs to go to the valet area are a little vague though. Once in the airport the pre-check in is a slow process, we got issued the wrong tickets and had to get them changed. They …
June 2017 was going to see us celebrate our 25th wedding anniversary. So we were heading to Las Vegas to do our anniversary at the Elvis Chapel. Rather than fly from Rockhampton to Brisbane we opted to drive and leave our car at the secure airport parking. Well we hit the road early and headed …
