Las Vegas!!

Alright, it's been 1 month, but here I am blogging about my Vegas trip!

Since it's Independence day and that means that we have a long weekend! Woo! So, I went to Las Vegas to look for my Aunt! It's so fun!!! My roommates went separately to Vegas too!

Vegas is really hot though! Around 40 degrees Celsius. It's extremely hot but good thing is that it's dry! Phew! But still I have sweaty butts! Argh!!!!


3rd July 2009, Friday
Took a morning flight to Las Vegas! It's really early! There's a transition in Boise, and then Vegas! Reached Vegas at around Noon. My first words when I landed 'It's HOT!'

My Aunt came to pick me up at the airport! And she drove me around! Woo!!! The whole horizon and sky looks really fake!

The Hot Sun

So, we went along the Strip! That's where all the Casinos and Hotels are! Each hotel have their own theme and animals! Live animals!!! As well, as theme parks and some other stuff.

New York New York!

Well, just a giant PSP

Yep! That's M&M's! All sorts of chocolate candies and merchandise. Didn't went in but saw my other roommates having some M&M lip balm and lots of M&M cushions in the airport.

Coca cola! And the one with the Guitar is the new Hard Rock Cafe!

Paris!

A closer look at the cloned Eiffel Tower!

Along the streets

Venetian

Okay, that's the drive through the Strip. And after that, got kinda tired so slept a bit and got ready for Clubbing!!! Hoo!!!

So we went to the club, XS.

That's the pool area of the club!

Me, my Aunt and her friends!

That's me at XS! Look at the board behind!

That's the bar counter! Cool eh?

And back to my Aunt's place and sleep....

So, for the day, went around to a few parties! Well, my Aunt's friends' parties! And lots of homemade Hawaiian Food!!! Taste so so so GOOD!!! And it's eat and eat and eat!!!

At the freeway, see what I meant by the horizon looking fake?

Everything just looks like a picture!

Coming to evening...

And Yeah! Fireworks at a lounge, M. That's really the name of the lounge!!

They've got a pool too!

And the super cool live band performing!! Rockin'

Funny faces!

Everyone's dancing! woo!

Okay, so this is the day where I spend my time hanging around at the Strip!

The 'must-go-take-photo' spot in Vegas

Right outside New York!

Tada!

At Flamingo! Yep! It have lots of flamingos and birds!!!

Just happened to see this really fat chicken wondering around!

The flamingos!

In Venetian, where there are Gondolas and the guide will sing songs!!! And they have a sky!

How long can he hold in that pose?

Right outside Venetian...

And the really cool ceiling!

And, after sightseeing around, we went to watch Cirque Du Soleil's Mystere! The show is at Treasure Island. It's super good! Cool, fun and interesting show!! I so wanna go watch all of Cirque Du Soleil's shows!!!

And, after that, went to walk around!

Big egg!!

It's a darn cool Bike!

It's night time where all the lights shines!!!!

Caesars Palace!

The lights of the streets!

And we went to Fremont to gamble a bit! But it's kinda late, so I missed out on the ceiling of moving lights! Argh... But I had some really good soup for supper! Yum!

6th July 2009, Monday
Last day in Vegas.. There's still so much to do and see and so little time!!!

So first off, to Red Rock Canyon!!!

The drive there... Everything still looks so like a picture!!

Here I am at the Red Rocks!

It's huge!

And after that Red Rock Canyon, my Aunt drove me all the way to the other side of Vegas, Hoover Dam!

Well, we had too little time, so we just took photos. Didn't join the Dam tours!

Here we are at the memorial of Hoover Dam

It's still really HOT!

See how everything is just superly beautiful?

Right at the Dam, and they are gonna build a new bridge too!

That's the Dam!

Nice stuff eh?

Right after that, we went to 'Eat-all-you-can' Sushi place! Yummy! Had like, 2 plates of Oysters and lots of Sushi! The sushi is good!!! They had generous serving of fish with not that much rice!

Okay, after the meal, it's off to the airport...

The view right outside the airport!

And as I walk around the airport, got a call from 1 of my roommate. He missed his flight back! Yikes! So, end up he bought another airticket to fly back on the same plane as mine.

Oh well, so we got home and I asked what happened? Well, he forgot something important at the scanning gate and had to go get it. So, the plane took off with his bags and without him. And 1 of the flight attendent took the rest as he walk out of the plane, 'Good Luck to your Friend!' then their plane took off!

Okay, that's my Vegas trip! Didn't went to Grand Canyon like they did though! Oh well, next time!
