On one floor you can buy different kinds of M&M's in bulk (pictured). I couldn't believe how many different kinds there were and kinds that are not available in Canada. My favourite is the raspberry-flavoured M&Ms. https://ruralrouteramblings.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/01/jelly_belly_statueofliberty.jpgJelly_Belly_statueoflibertyThe Statue of Liberty made from Jelly Belly jellybeans in New York, New York. https://ruralrouteramblings.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/01/feet_hurt_booth.jpgFeet_hurt_boothA trip to Las Vegas probably means you'll be doing lots of walking - up and down The Strip.

This photo is from a place called Organstop Pizza in Phoenix. Not only does it serve delicious pizza (we scarfed it down before I had a chance to take a photo), but an organist plays the largest organ in the world while you're eating (pictured). He even played the Canadian anthem while we were there, which was met with loud cheering from the crowd. https://ruralrouteramblings.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/01/hash_house_food.jpgHash_house_foodIn a previous blog post on Las Vegas I mentioned eating breakfast at Hash House a Go Go in The Quad.
