Finally hit the pool at 4.45 (UK time 12.45 am) – the water was ‘bracing’ and by the time I got out the pool area was totally in shade. Tip 2 – do as the Americans – follow the sun around the pool by changing lounger frequently but remember whole area will be in shade by 5.30 pm.

After freshening up, (TC had done this during my swim and was downstairs investigating the slots) I met TC in the foyer and we headed off to eat. By now we were flagging as UK time was 3 am! Decided the trek to Hilton would be too much, so headed into Caesar’s Palace and had a really good stir fried vegetable dish at the Chinese in the Food Court. TC had a Mongolian Beef.

After buying a small bottle of White Zin. at the off license by Imperial Palace we went back to room and watched the fountains before going to bed at 8.30 (4.30 UK).

Virgin earplugs worked well, as I was immune to TC snoring – but then I was tired!
