Las Vegas

Vegas was never a city I wanted to visit. Vegas is just about casinos and it has got nothing to do with me.That was my thinking. I complaint so much to Fong and Cheng when I was doing the planning. Still, I went since it was part of route.

Arrived Vegas after visited Grand Canyon. Checked in Circus-Circus and we have a few options to do at night. And I was told by Fong that I should take up the night tour. Well, since it is the cheapest and to spend my night time. I choose that.

Yes. Indeed, it was great. We were visiting hotel to hotel for their shows. Each casino hotel will have a show at different and the best thing was it is free. :) All the shows were so awesome. The performances were superb. The musical fountain was great! Most of the hotels were huge. And here, the one who has the most number of rooms will be considered as the biggest (MGM was the biggest then). And they are building more and more each year.


Also, went to the old town of Vegas. There, we watched the giant laser show on top of our heads. So many people were standing and waiting for it. When the streets and casinos lights were off, the laser lights up and all was so beautiful. Of course, my neck was so painful as I needed to look up all the time.

The next morning, we spent a few more hours to walk around the city before heading back to LA. I was truly amazed with a city like Vegas in the midst of desert.

So, do I like Vegas? Well, maybe aside the casinos. I think the city is beautiful.

Upon reaching LA in the evening, I have to catch a train to San Diego by myself. Annie (the friend who went with me) is going to NY.
