Day 13: 18 March

I woke up today with an incredibly sore back and no motivation to do anything. Things didn't start out well at all! I also had to check out of The Riviera and make my way down to The Las Vegas Hostel in downtown Freemont. Once I got off the bus at the top of the Freemont Street Experience, I decided I would walk the distance to my hostel with my luggage. This was probably not the best move. It was much, MUCH further than I had anticipated unfortunately. And the area was not really great either. Sorry Mum and Dad, but wasn't feeling too safe!

Despite this, the hostel was really nice, and the people were friendly. I dumped my stuff and bussed back down to the Freemont Street Experience. This was very cool, and would be even better at night! I did a bit of souvenir shopping and exploring. There were mainly just casinos and souvenir shops really.

There was a zipline that went from one end of the street to the other, which looked amazing, but I wasn't going to risk it with a sore back. Instead I just watched and heard all of the people flying above us.

After a crappy Chinese lunch and a quick pokies bet at a casino (I didn't win anything!), I went back to the hostel, and relaxed. Later on that night, I had a drink with my dorm mate, Dom by the pool, but otherwise, had a very early night. I needed my rest for the next day...
