Coping with public and private transport since 2001
As this is our last full day in Las Vegas, we wanted to use it to tie up the loose ends. Or, so to say, we wanted to do the things we did not get to do in the past few days. First off, there were a few hotels we didn’t visit yet, like the Monte Carlo Hotel. Even though
