What happens in Vegas stays at Vegas:)

An amazing trip, back from Vegas last weekend and all the events are still so vivid in the mind after such an incredibly marvelous trip. Landed in Vegas at 1:30 AM Saturday morning. Had the food that Mom packed for me, and was ready to hit the bed, little did I know that Sun never sets in Vegas and I was in for such a startling adventure. We drove along the casinos, taking a glimpse of this massive game zone. I was struck by the city even as the flight was about to land...

We parked at MGM and walked along the Harrahs, Mandalay Bay and Luxor. Each casino was unique in its own way. Managed to catch a glimpse of some live shows. Reached back at the hotel at 4, were up at 9 and ready to go:) Venetian, wax museum and the Music fountain at Bellagio. Personally, I loved the wax museum the most and the horror show could be easily rated as the most enchanting. Mom was horror struck, she got damn scared and I was not doing anything to ease the tension either:) The flower garden, New York New York, Paris were real cool too.

The next days we covered Alladin, Excalibur, Bellagio, Caesars. Made a brief stop at Ghiradelli chocolate factory for some chocs :D Some window shopping along the Arabian streets and other shopping places around. There was this crystal engrave stores at MGM where we got our parents a 3D crystal with their images engraved. It glows with different colors when lit... A small gift that could be a reminiscence of their Vegas trip ;)

We took a ride in a roller coaster that was at a height of atleast some 60 floors or so. Something to take care of my adventure 'must dos' in any trip. It was so much fun, so what if my throat was aching that badly from my constant scream :) The Stratosphere was another must see we didnt miss. At 105 floors, you get a 360 degree view of the entire city. Reached at a good time, we managed to see both the day view as well as the lit sight after sunset.

So much done, so much more you could do if only there is some more time and money....as everyone agrees, what happens in Vegas stays at Vegas :)
