Vegas Trip 2012 - Day 2

Day 2 was another long day of course. We decided to go shopping and check out the outlet mall. We talked to the concierge at our hotel to find out how to use the bus system, which was very easy to figure out and we made our way to the Las Vegas Premium Outlets - North. As per usual, we were able to spend a little more than planned while shopping but we did get some good deals. A few of our big purchases were at Hurley, Coach and Sunglass Hut...no Cory did not get another pair of sunglasses, I did! We were pretty tuckered out after shopping and decided to go back to the hotel to drop off our purchases before heading out again. However, on the bus ride back to the hotel we decided to stop and do a little more shopping at the Fashion Show Mall because I wanted to go to Lululemon. We finally made it back to our hotel where we unloaded our purchases and rested our feet for a just a few minutes. We hadn't eaten all day and we were started to feel the effects of the empty bellies so we made our way to the Sugar Factory for supper. Wow! It was awesome! It's located at the Paris Las Vegas for those of you who may be going to Vegas and want to check it out.

After supper, we weren't sure what to do. We walked around checking things out and decided we'd go up in the Eiffel Tower to get a view of the Strip at night but it was actually closed because it was too windy. So, we went for another walk, which is when Cory found a spot to buy a guitar full of strawberry daiquiri at Rockhouse. I must say, it was quite tasty but also pretty strong...drinks seem to be stronger in the USA compared to Canada. We then decided that we'd go to Fremont St. to check it out! On the bus ride there, we were talking with a couple from Kansas who told us that they were going to zipline down Fremont St. and this peaked our interest. So, after Cory ditched his guitar full of booze in a bathroom because he couldn't drink anymore, we headed for the zipline called Flightlinez. We had never ziplined before and it was pretty fun. We stayed long enough to see the sights and the light show and then we headed back to the Strip. We did a little more exploring and then decided we should call it a night.
