I recently graduated from college (I know, hard to believe right) and my parents took me to Vegas, Nevada to celebrate! We went with close family friends and stayed from Dec. 16th to early in the morning the 20th. And since we live in a state where casinos are illegal (thanks, Nebraska) we made sure to hit the gambling hard, but Vegas has more to offer than drinking and gambling.
For starters, we had fun walking around and looking at all the different hotels near us. We stayed at the Luxor (which has an Egyptian theme and is shaped like a pyramid).
Besides our own hotel, we managed to see :
The Bellagio
- they have a short but powerful fountain show, you might have seen this on T.V. or social media as it’s quite iconic
MGM Grand
- they have a nice arcade set up on the main floor and this is where we saw Cirque Du Soleil KA
New York-New York
- a small replica of the big apple with a “big apple” roller coaster $15 per person for the ride but worth is as it takes you upside down and spins you around until you feel like you might puke (at least that happened to me)
The Venetian
- this hotel was probably one of my favorites as it tries to duplicate Venice, complete with a sky-painted ceiling and gondola rides
The Cosmopolitan
- when I first thought of Vegas, this would be the hotel that would typically come to mind – it is glamour, high fashion, expensive and sophisticated
Caesars Palace
- another favorite hotel of mine because of its interest in Rome, statues and fountains
Mandalay Bay
- this was just close to the Luxor and we always ended up stopping at it briefly because of how the tram works
Our list of things that we did includes :
Walking down Fremont Street
- because our parents wanted to give us an authentic Vegas experiences
Going to the Neon Museum
- home to all the worn out neon signs on Vegas’s past $20 or $15 to students
High Roller
- this enclosed, giant Ferris Wheel takes you 550 feet up to see almost all of the strip (my recommendation, go at night!)
And finally, seeing the Hoover Dam
- we rented a car on our last day and drove the 45 mins to Hoover Dam, walked along the perimeter for a while and then drove the 45 mins back in time to catch our departing flight
I had a lot of fun drinking, gambling and exploring and the short getaway was just what I needed, but I don’t think I could do any more days in Vegas. S/O to my parents, friends and the covenant buffalo game that made this trip memorable.
**did I miss anything in Vegas?
I’m truly enjoying the design and layout of your blog.
It’s a very easy on the eyes which makes it much more enjoyable for me to come here and visit more often. Did you hire out a designer
to create your theme? Excellent work!
Wow! Thank you so much!! And I actually didn’t hire a designer, this is a free theme from WordPress and then I’ve done some coding (from the help of google) to get it to a place I really like 🙂
Spot on with this write-up, I honestly feel this website needs a great deal more attention.
I’ll probably be returning to see more, thanks for the information!
