Day 11 - Leaving Los Vegas

We woke up to realise that we'd had no sleep due to getting in at gone 5 and having to set the alarm for 9:30 so that we could checkout on time. After a quick job of throwing everything in the suitcases we regrettably left the hotel. We weren't done with Vegas yet though, while in Hooters the other day we noticed cheaper tables there, so we thought we'd pop over to lose our last bit of money.


After a quick burger (5.5/10) Mark played some roulette. He bet big on 32 red as it still hadn't come up all week. He eventually gave up on that and just put a single chip on it when of course it came in. Slightly annoying, but still won him money, so we left Vegas on a high with a massive $5 profit, high rollers or what!


We were soon on the road to a random place we picked on the map when we pulled over to get some gas. Luckily the place we pulled over at was Las Vegas Speedway, so Mark decided to try and get the car on to the track. For some reason, they don't allow that, so we found an unmanned karting track there instead and took the car on that while no one was looking :)

Achievement: 2000 miles driven.

Soon we were in Zion National Park, Mark was disappointed as it's a little different to Zion out of the Matrix. The Zion people wanted $25 to look at a mountain that we could already see, so we parked the car and walked there instead. Mark swung from a tree and Martin climbed a pile of soot. You can see that the tiredness was getting to us by now.


After another 2 hours driving we arrived in Cedar City, our destination for the night. We watched a little TV, taking in The Apprentice, 2 handegg games and I-Spy all at the same time without missing any of them due to the beauty of the frequency of advert breaks.


A quick bite to eat at Denny's and then we watched The Replacements on TV back in the room. It's fairly old and is THE most cheesy predictable cliched movie out there. Also in the ad breaks (which made the movie twice it's normal length), there was this annoying fat old woman who would interview some country & western singer about food she was cooking. American TV is strange!
