On arrival in Las Vegas, we check into the Circus Circus hotel (which includes live circus acts and thrill rides - above) before exploring 'The Strip' and then doing full justice to the extraordinary range of food at The Mirage Hotel's all-you-can-eat buffet

Our two night stay at the Circus Circus Hotel and Casino gives us the opportunity to visit a number of the amazingly designed casinos on 'The Strip' and to marvel at the spectacular displays that include The Volcano at The Mirage and the sinking of HMS Britannia at Treasure Island

Day 10:  today we drive 84-miles visiting the Hoover Dam and Lake Mead,

returning to Las Vegas (via a branch of Walmarts in Henderson) to eat at The Mirage's buffet
