Morning everyone. The clock's ticking down until the road trip officially starts. I'm meeting the rest of the team in about an hour.
I'm staying at the Paris Las Vegas Hotel and Casino, allegedly Las Vegas's most "seductive" hotel. It's basically Paris, but with air-conditioning and slot-machines and with no Parisians, so arguably an improvement. (I feel, as a person of French extraction, I can joke fondly about these stereotypes.)
Where on earth am I? #twitrips pic.twitter.com/3VWdawlLzb

There's a massive Arc de Triomphe in the forecourt.
here's that arc de triomphe I was talking about -- which reminds me, well done Chris Froome! #twitrips pic.twitter.com/wI2pWkeO0e

So, today's route will take us from Las Vegas to Utah. Looking at all the great suggestions that people sent in, I think Zion might be our next destination.
Las Vegas to Zion certainly has a nice ring to it for a day's drive. My co-driver, Andy, thinks that it sounds like a Bob Dylan album.
Once Andy and Jacob, the photographer are here, I'll introduce the team properly. In the meantime, it would be good to hear about essential Vegas things to do before we leave. @mollyodonnellblatantfraud already tweeted about the Neon Museum.
Is that a good suggestion? What about breakfast? Please send any tips to @Therouvian, #TwiTrips, @GuardianTravel, or in the comments below.
Still no sign of Jacob the photographer. I'm guessing he's held up in a Parisian traffic jam...
