09:00 AM Checking Out<\/strong><\/p>\n

We woke up at 8 AM instead of the planned 05:30 AM. We decided to leave Las Vegas without breakfast. We aimed to have breakfast at Mad Greek Cafe, which we had no idea what time it opens. This was the reason why we had a change of our planned “wake-up” time.<\/p>\n

\nJust outside McDonald’s Museum – Bugs Bunny. Think it is not related to McDonald’s.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

While leaving, JR did a right turn into the wrong lane. He was driving in the opposite direction towards an oncoming car. Both of us were stunned for a moment before we realised that we were in the wrong lane. Luckily we realised it early and went back to the correct lane. What an exciting trip!<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

We finished our shopping an hour before the planned time. We were famished after all the walking and shopping. We chose to have Chinese food from Panda Express. There was a long queue in front of the store.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Finally got our food!<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Fortune Cookie<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Fried rice with fried noodles, with 3 sides – Orange Chicken (Sweet Sour Chicken), Mushroom Chicken and Broccoli Beef.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

The food was unexpectedly good! Maybe because we were hungry or perhaps it was a long time since we had Chinese food.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

From the Fortune Cookie – You will enjoy good health and financial independence. We left Ontario Mills after the meal.<\/p>\n
