Welcome to fabulous Las Vegas

Last weekend, November 12 - 15th, I was in Vegas. Jealous much? [: It was simply amazing. We left around 11a.m. and arrived around 5:30p.m. Can you believe the sun sets there at 4p.m.?! I hated it for a while. Then it was great.

The car ride there was boring at first, as you can tell. That was only about half hour in. Good thing we have iPod's or we would of died. Or killed my dad first.


I love going over the mountain top and then you see lights. It gets you all giddy and excited to stay there. When that happened I pulled out my camera and.... No didn't take pictures because my camera got broken...    I literally cried.
The shutter button got jammed in about half-way so it wouldn't really take pictures. But over the days it loosened up. Thank you!!! So now it almost works perfect.
The first night we stayed in Circus Circus. Used to love that hotel, now it's alright. No I didn't go in the Fun Dome this time. I'm saving my money and it was $27. Didn't want to spend that much in one day. Instead me and my sister just walked around the hotel for hours the first and second day. The second day/night, me and my mom walked to a gift shop. Guess what? I've been in the Worlds Largest Gift Shop!! It sounds like a greater experience than it was. Let me tell you a little story..

When we arrived, we walked in the wrong store at first. Me and my mom separated and looked at our own stuff but I really wasn't "looking", I was just glancing around trying to find something that would catch my eye. Nothing did. Then the local sheriff asked if I was 21. I was a bit confused at first. That's when I actually "looked" around me. I was walking around the liquor section. A little scared, I looked around for my mom and gladly found that she was near by and she heard him ask too. I said no and we left that store and went to the actual store we were meaning to go to.
Another funny story, we passed a lingerie store. The sign in the window makes me laugh.

"No children under 18 allowed, even with an adult." 
Guess what? The whole store was glass. You could see everything without going in. Oh dear, I love it.

The third day we packed up and left to go to the Luxor. Best hotel I've ever stayed in. I love it!! Me and my sister are going to go steal their beds sometime in the near future.
They're clouds.
That day was simply the best day there. After we set everything up, we left for our adventure down the strip. Running here, running there. Watching this show, watching that show.

On our way back to the hotel, we stopped at the MGM Grand and ate at their Rain forest Cafe. (Guess what? They have lions in there!)

Best. Hamburger. I've. Ever. Tasted. It was at least 6 inches thick. Let me tell you what was on it. Bottom to top:
Bun, BBQ sauce, meat patty, BBQ sauce, onion rings, lettuce, BBQ sauce. MMMM!
After, my parents and brother was pooped. Me and my sister were still wide awake and plenty of energy. We took off down the strip again. Till 2 in the morning. It was great.Then we left the next day.
Car ride = boring and long. Should of seen how me and my sis were trying to get comfy and fall asleep.
On the back seat. I eventually crawled into the passenger seat. Then we got home.
And school the next day. In freezing weather.

Please, let me go back.
