What Happened in Vegas :)

You are drowning in heat in the steaming car with nothing to do for six, long, painful hours. The water is warm, the air conditioner broke, the cookies you have been snacking on for the last two hours are starting to get bland. You try looking at the scenery, but all around you is a few mountains and a straight road for the next 100 miles or so. Why would you do this? There is an excitement waiting for you up ahead. It is filled of so much excitement and relaxation from your normal life so you crave the fun. You are willing to waste six hours get there. What is waiting for you? A large, large city is waiting for you. A place so careless, you have no worries. To sum it all up into one word, I call this place: Vegas! :) :) :)

This is just a picture I took the night we got there. I'm sorry that some of the pictures are blurry. I was trying to keep up with my sister and my parents in the crowd while trying to take pictures at the same time.

We finally reached it. It was about ten o'clock at night and my sister and I could hardly contain ourselves in the tiny Subaru. As we looked across the horizon is was just one large belt of lights set across the ground. As we drove into the city, my parents pointed out our hotel, It was huge! I couldn't help but smile and laugh. The journey was over.

Our hotel the Mirage

Our room was very nice. There was a television on the wall across from the two queen beds around 1 1/2 ft by 2ft. We had one window that viewed the whole pool and much of Vegas and its hotels and restaurants. At night, the view was even more incredible. The bathroom had granite counter tops and the showers water was very soft and comforting. The only thing I disliked about the hotel room is that it was not very large.

Every morning, my sister and I would go swimming in the pool for a while and then as a family we would go exploring Las Vegas.

This is the pool and the only picture I

didn't take out of all these.

It is pretty impressive pool huh?

At our hotel, they had a popular event going on. It is called Siegfried & Roy: The Secret Garden.

As you might know. Siegfried and Roy were two men that would raise tigers and other wild cats from babies and do illusionist acts and magic tricks at the Mirage. They don't do them anymore because on one act, one of the famous men got attacked by his own tiger he had raised as a child. He got so badly injured they had to retire. The entrance fee was fifteen dollars and in the place of the event, we didn't just get to see leopards, lamas, and tigers, but we also got to see some dolphin training.

Here is a picture of a statue of the

two men and a tiger that I took.

On the last night we were there, we went to the Belagio to go get gelato (Italian ice cream). It was just as amazing, creamy, and irresistible as it was last time we got it when we were in Vegas. We went exploring around the Belagio after we had our treat and entered this room that has very unique features. It had roses everywhere, and butterfly models and flowers hanging from the ceiling. There also was a glass room with beautiful moths and butterflies soaring around inside them.

This was one of the butterflies that was inside the sealed glass room.

Here are some of the butterflies hanging from the ceiling.

The Beligo is a beautiful hotel and I definitely recommend you visit there if you ever go on a vacation to Las Vegas.



We walked outside the Belagio and there is a large body of water of a balcony. Every night they have water shows when water shoots out of these pipes under the body of water in unique and beautiful way. It is strangely entertaining.

I tried to catch a picture of when the

water was shooting at its highest.

The picture turned out pretty neat

in my opinion.

I hoped you enjoyed my story of my trip to Vegas!
