The Newmarket group were assigned the same tables as last night, and we enjoyed a substantial buffet breakfast of Greek yoghurt with granola and fruit, as well as croissants, grapefruit juice and good hot…
We were up early again this morning and we packed up the remainder of our things and secured our suitcases before heading to the rooftop restaurant once again for breakfast.

During the night we had received another confirmation from Fed-Ex, that our suitcases would be delivered to the Golden Nugget “before 10.30am”.
