So he was calling around to find an optometrist and I didn't want to stick around for his medical issues. I had a shower and when I got out he'd had to call a doctor up to the room. I told him I was gonna go explore downstairs while he waited for the doc.
I went downstairs and bought some Paris stuff for Mum. Brought it back up to the room and the doc was there, so I dumped the stuff and went downstairs again, this time across the road.
The Planet Hollywood shopping centre - which I keep forgetting the name of - was where I ended up again. Properly looking at stuff and wishing I had stupid amounts of money to buy shoes with! Theres so much range here and its soooo much cheaper!
Later on JT messaged me to tell me he had to go to Walgreens to get some eye drops. Instead of just going there and then meeting with me, he met up with me and for some reason thought I'd go with him. So I told him I'd meet him later on.
I finished up in the centre and went outside. The sun was SO BRIGHT! I had to go back up and get my sunnies, and then met JT back downstairs. From there, we went walking up the strip. I got loads and loads of pics of hotels and stuff.
There are guys down on the street that are handing out little flyers with half naked women on them that try and thrust them at anyone that'll take them. They're in little mobs every half block or so, usually Mexican and slightly unnerving.
In the end we walked to the Fashion Mall and went inside (JT had heard a store there had mobile credit and he needed it desperately). Straight away we spotted Hot Topic. Epic! It wasn't a huge store but they had some awesome stuff. I could have spent a truck load there. I really wanted a Little Big Planet shirt, but they didn't have any Small's.
In the same mall I got some awesome sport stuff. Found some small felt pennants, got one for Chicago Bulls (basketball), LA Dodgers (Baseball) and Dallas Cowboys (Grid Iron). I also bought some official on-field pro Baseball caps - Boston Red Sox, LA Dodgers & New York Yankees. And because I bought 3 caps my 4th was free - I'd picked out a Chicago Bulls cap so I saved $25 :D
In the Gamespot store I bought a copy of Lego Batman for Xbox 360 for $20! Its AU$70 at home! Their games are way cheaper here. Unfortunately the other game I want at the moment isn't out yet. Shame, its only $60 instead of AU$110.
On the 'way out' JT bought his Dad a really nice pen. I liked the idea, but not the $300+ price tag, lol.
Eventually we made our way back to the Paris Las Vegas and just about collapsed.
This evening we decided to head out to the Hard Rock for dinner. So I went to the website and got the address. Google maps directed me wrong, so we walked around a really big block to the new restaurant which they said had just opened. Well, they lied. The place was still under construction, though the merchandise store was open.
I had the shits by then, and decided to give up and go for something else. We went walking back to the Planet Hollywood hotel and on the way went to 7-Eleven. Found the double gulp cup... I bought a super-gulp to get the WWE cup they're doing a promo for - it was $2.15 including the awesome cup and a butt-load of drink.
We kept walking til we got into the mall and ended up eating at "Blondies" which is like a sports bar/cafe thing. They had all these TVs everywhere with Baseball, Grid Iron and Soccer playing. We had steak which wasn't bad.
After that we headed back to the Luggage place and got a new blue Samsonite case each, big ones. Now I can buy heaps of things! :D
Anyway, now we're really tired and sore and my legs are sooo chafed D: But I'm happy. I'm going shoe shopping tomorrow. Planet Hollywood mall again tomorrow haha! They have some great stores there for shoes.
We're also going to (finally) Fry's, M&M's store/Coke Museum, Nascar Cafe and at night we'll see if the Eiffel Tower tickets I've got are legit. Lets hope so.
So now, I'm going to sign off and probably hit the sack.
