Sooze and I got married on April 17th of this year. As the road trip was already planned before the wedding, we agreed that our honeymoon would officially start when we hit Las Vegas.
We arrived in Vegas on the 9th May and booked into the newly built (for the Strip anyway) Aria hotel. The hotel just oozes class, but when you come from a place like Tipton, trust me when I say that this is truly luxury at its finest.
The room is reminiscent of the one that David Aames inhabits in Vanilla Sky; clap your hands and the lights come on; press a button on the remote control and the TV sinks into the floor. Okay, not quite, but it's still pretty impressive. It even has a sliding door to the bathroom that would make Leatherface purr with envy.
Apart from the impressive looking hotels and of course the weather, Vegas has just been the most perfect setting and has come at the right time in our trip across the States. We've witnessed the magical fountain show outside the Bellagio hotel, had lunch and drank champagne inside the Grand Canyon and tonight we're off out to enjoy a steak at Planet Hollywood to celebrate even further. I'm going to pick the biggest one they can cook, along the same lines as the 'Ole 96er' from The Great Outdoors.
Las Vegas has just been unforgettable and I feel very privileged to have shared this amazing experience with my new wife Suzanne.
There's only one thing that makes it even more special and that's the fact that we're only halfway across the States. We still have LA, San Francisco, Seattle etc… left to see.

And enjoy the rest of your trip! If you have time, there's a fantastic theater in LA I'm sure you're aware of called the New Beverly. I have several friends that frequent the theater and they could show you around the area. San Fan is amazing, you'll love it. And while in Seattle make sure to hit up Scarecrow Video!!
