Las Vegas, NV '08


We arrived in Las Vegas with our eyes wide open and full of excitement. As we were landing, we got a great view from the air of the hotels on the strip. We checked into our hotel called Circus, Circus and were amazed because it really looked like one. On our trip, we visited so many amazing hotels that it is hard to name them all. We really liked the hotel called New York, New York because it was a replica of the 'Big Apple". It even had a cool rollercoaster that some of us braved. Some other stops we made were to The Mirage, Imperial Palace, and Harrah's. Then we toured Caesar's Palace and viewed a show of Zeus and the Greek God's that were statues that came to life. Next it was onto the "Sirens of Treasure Island" show at Treasure Island hotel, the Dancing Waterfalls at the Bellagio, and MGM Grand where we got to see the live lion habitat. In the evening, we took some time out to see the "Legends in Concerts" show which featured famous impersonators such as the Blues Brothers, Jay Leno, and Elvis. We spent another full day on a tour to the Hoover Dam which has been said to be one of the greatest architectural works since the great pyramids. Amongst all the sights, we found time to eat at incredible buffets with a wide variety of foods as well as famous restaurants such as Planet Hollywood and the Harley Davidson Cafe. As we proved on this vacation, Las Vegas is truly "the city that never sleeps".
