Las Vegas!!

Sorry for the last post, my 'later' took a while, like 5 days? Anyway the US is fantastic, wish I can go there again. Who wouldn't?

So, from where I left off, it was Las Vegas. We did eat dim sum in the morning before we went to the airport and it was bye bye to SF. :( Gonna miss it, and it was off to sin city, LV! It was a short flight before we reached the airport, we did the usual car rental thing and off we went to the Strip before Sunset. It's a stretch of road with hotels and casinoes along the side. So without wasting time, we went to treasure island (hotel) to get tix for the night's cirque du soliel performance, Mystere at 9.30. Then we went outdoors to see Volcano show, went inside Venetian and ate dinner (Prime Rib!) before checking in the hotel. Grand Chateau was amazing and majestic with 80 plus channels! Then went to see the show, and almost fell asleep in the end. But it was a great show, with trampoline, muscular guys balancing and girl drummers.. basically fantasy circus stuff. Loved the wannabe magician and the fat baby segments. Then back to hotel and snooze after watching some shows.

Next day, it was going about town and went to some outlet stores. Girl stuff was the most boring so dad me and bro went to eat some fast food. Ate Samurai Sam Teriyaki Grill and it's good stuff. Then went to another outlet store after that and bought a Nike T shirt. That's all for the day. By then, it was night time so we went to eat dinner first before heading back to the city. That day, we had the best Prime Rib ever ! It was huge! Anyway back to the city where I got a beanie and walked around MGM Grand, New York New York and of course the streets. Went back to the hotel to prepare for the Grand Canyon trip the next day.

Woke up at 6.30 to go to the Grand Canyon, it was a 4 hour drive there! So sat in the car and looked outside. Pure desert areas for the next 200 miles. But managed to survive the drive with the radio. Then the scenery became greener and greener as we crossed the border to Arizona across Hoover Dam. Then came the beautiful Grand Canyon.Vast is one way to describe it. Then bro sis and me took a walk down this stretch to just enjoy the environment we were in. Just taking it all in. Took pictures and all. Speaking of pictures, they have been uploaded, but it is A LOT. So gonna be hard to put all in. Off we went back to Las Vegas for ANOTHER 4 hour drive. On the way, yet another Prime Rib dinner, but was not as good as last night. Then we went back to the city, feeling quite exhausted. We had to go downtown Las Vegas to see the chapel where Britney Spears got married and also to see the World's largest TV screen in Fremont, the 'Old' Las Vegas. Walked around to just take in the scent of cigarettes with all those casinoes there and looked around the Plaza hotel. Saw a presentation of Queen, which I enjoyed thoroughly. It was back to the hotel and so long to Las Vegas. It was a great city where size and glamor do matter. Helicopters. Planes. Neon lights. The atmosphere was that much different from SF. Watched a fountain show before going to the airport to Los Angeles, baby. DISNEYLAND!!!

Next time, I'll continue the magical journey to Disneyland, but for now, I've got to go do some Christmas party thing. :D

God Bless and Peace.
