What Happens in Vegas, I will share with you!

*taps mic* Is this thing on??? Good evening all!!! I haven't post anything in a long time because of work. I mean I have been working a lot these past couple of months and I'm glad it slowed a little bit before the storm a.k.a holiday shopping. Anyhoo, back in September I finally got the chance to go to a city I always wanted to visit....VEGAS BABY!!!!! First, I would like to say that it was just a day trip, so I have no problem sharing my experience there. There was no time to doing anything "risque", but next time...most definitely. Flying to Vegas was pretty uneventful until we started flying over the Graaand Canyon.
I was totally blown away by the mountain scenery; absolutely amazing! Soon after that we landed in Vegas! :D Since it was only a day trip, we decided to take a tour through all the hotels and casinos on the Strip. This was my best friends third time going to Vegas, so she knew some attractions to see while we were walking around. Luckily for us we were able to catch a shuttle ride to and from the airport for just $12! (I can't remember the real price, but it was cheap)
The first hotel we visited was the Venetian hotel and I fell deeply in love with the extravagance of this hotel!! There was gold and replica's of paintings everywhere!!
And of course there was the very famous Gondola ride. We didn't take ride because we were on a budget and the cost to take trip in one of the boats was pretty pricey.
After the Venetian, we walked on one of the connector bridges, that connect all the hotels together, and headed to the Wynn hotel.
On the way there, we saw this awesome waterfall and I had to take a picture next to it!
Every hotel, there were really high priced stores like Chanel, Louis Vuitton, and a whole lot of the stores that we didn't even bother walking into. But they were nice to look at as we passed by.
These flower balls were made out of real flowers and I was just totally fascinated by them. We pretty hungry, so we walked over to the Fashion Mall (Or something like that) to get something from the Food Court. This mall looked like an UFO. Neat.
While walking through the mall, we saw the biggest Forever21 ever and I wished that was a shopping trip soo much, but sadly it wasn't. After that, Treasure Island and the Mirage!
Instead of walking, they provided a little tram that went from Treasure island to the Mirage. Which was nice, because it was getting outside and our feet were starting to hurt.
After the Mirage, we went into Caesars! Holy moly, that place was large and amazing!! I thought the Venetian was over the top, but the Caesar hotel was beyond that! Connected to Caesars was a shopping called the Forum, which lead into the hotel. Now that I think back on it, it got kind of confusing trying to figure out where you were, but I enjoyed the scenery as we walked around in circles.
I think we were in Caesars for almost 2 or 3 hours..whew! Next is the Bellagio (which as the awesome water show at night) and the Cosmopolitan hotel! I loved the Cosmopolitan for one reason only....
This stuff!!! There was strands of crystal all through the casino and I loved it!
Let me fast forward to my other favorite hotels, because we did so much and I took so many pictures, I would typing for hours!! The Paris hotel was my second favorite hotel, right after the Venetian. They had an Eiffel Tower right in the middle of the casino!
Then New York New York was freaking amazeballs! It was like you were in a mini version of New York city.
As it got darker, the city came to life. There were street performers everywhere!! Whether they were in costumes of random characters (Spongebob, Sonic the Hedgehog and Transformers) guys dancing in the street and musicians of all types (there was a guy playing the bagpipes). Our last show of the night was the water fountain show at the Bellagio.
I definitely can't wait to go back because there is still so much to see and do and I can't wait to experience it all!
