Las   Vegas
VIVA LAS VEGASSSSSSSS!
Just returned to from my 5
Day Vegas Trip!
Day 1- Flew out of Orlando International Airport.
The flight was a bit delayed so my connecting flight was a couple minutes away
in Denver Airport. When we finally arrived at the
gate they scanned us and said we did not have any seats. This probably meant
they overbooked or bumped us and had us get on the next flight which was a
couple hours away. But we at least got a roundtrip ticket and $6.00 meal
voucher each for compensation.
Arrived in Vegas around
1:00pm, the weather was stuffy. Felt like baking in an oven! My brother had
already arrived so he picked us up from the airport and we headed to the Wynn
Hotel/Fashion Spot Mall/ and Chinatown to do
some sightseeing since our other two people in our group had not arrived. At
night we went to Mandalay Bay, Four Seasons, and the Luxor where we saw Carrot
Top get off from work from his comedy show… he was buff like a guy on steroids!
Day 2- We went to Ethels
Chocolate Factory which was pretty cool to see how chocolate was made and how
specialty orders were hand placed. After that we headed to Imperial Palace/Harrah’s
Casino where we hit up the Mac King Comedy show (pretty good for $10) and the
old classic car museum…. Walked around for a bit there and hanged out while the
boys gambled at Harrah’s. Afterwards we headed to The Venetian which was so
nice and reminded me of Venice Italy all over
again…. Everything was so similar it was crazy!
Then we headed home to get ready to go see Cirque du Soleil show “Ka”…
The Ka show was spectacular
sooooo amazing how they had a rotating stage and wonderful story line and
acrobatics! I was on the edge of my seat the whole time. Everything was so
beautiful even without words. After the show we walked through MGM Hotel and
went to dinner back at the Tropicana Hotel.
Day 3- Woke up early and
headed to Hoover Dam- it was a pretty cool place… never seen such a big dam in
my life! They had this tunnel that was huge funnel thing to take away the water
that flooded the dam. After that we drove forever and went to the Grand Canyon! That was unbelievable! Mother Nature is
truly amazing and it was very nice there. The weather was great and the view
even more spectacular. We climbed some crazy rocks and Johnny cut his head on a
tree branch! And then on the way home to
the timeshare through the boonies~!
Day 4- Next we saw the Red Rock
Canyon! This was a
smaller scale of canyons but just as magnificent. I liked these bit more
because we could climb and hike it. Of course we didn’t because of the time
crunch but we got to run down a hill and up. That almost killed us added to the
dessert heat. Once we got back we walked
the strip! Walked to almost all the well known hotels and checked it out.
We visited Monte
Carlo, Paris, New
York, Excalibur, Planet Hollywood, Bellagios, and Caesars Palace. We tried to watch the volcano
show at the Mirage and the Sirens show… but with our luck it rained and the
shows got cancelled. Rain is no big deal but if in Las Vegas it only rains once in a blue moon
and it happened to be when we were there! So we headed home disappointed. That
night we tried to make the best of it by trying to go to Ghost Bar @ the Palms
but it was closed! And then we tried to go to some strip clubs and they charged
an arm and a leg for just an hour left of stripping~! So we left to go home not
entertained and depressed.
Day 5- Our last day here L We went to The Palms and ate at a great buffet there!
Then to Rio to see their masquerade sky show
which was pretty good. And then saw the Chippendale dancers posing for pictures
(which you had to buy for 36.00!) Then we headed back to the strip to finish it
up and to Freemont Street
to see the night show plus visit the Golden Nugget. That concluded our stay in Las Vegas…..
Once at the airport and on
the plane…the horrible story starts where our flight had malfunctions right
before lift off so we had to wait a couple hours before the next flight came in
to take us! It was a red eye flight and we were dead tired the next day trying
to go to work! CRAziness that concludes
this Las Vegas Trip.
