I happen to visit one of the populous city in American West in Mojave desert which is also called the Entertainment Capital of the World. It was 2115 hrs when I looked out of the window on flight 3062, which took me to the city where the Alcohol flows in Gallons, where one lives with blessings from Lady Luck, I was amazed to see the amount of electricity that went into this city of around 150 Sq. Miles. It was lit and the main Strip was dazzling with lights.
It was 2130 hrs when flight landed and I along with my friend took a rental car and headed for the hotel room.
The next day, after a tedious drive to Grand Canyon and back, I visited the famous Strip. First stop at the Venetian was breathtaking. They had made a little Venice inside with shops and Gondolas. After a little walk, We finally made into the Casino. It was interesting to see Slots machines at the full swing with different themes ranging from original 7 7 7 slot machines to the new hollywood theme. Then there were black jack tables where people eagerly waiting to hit 21 to get 3:2 pay. In another room there was a small ball revolving in a red and black dial and people praying to get their favorite number or color.
Next we left to a Caeser's Palace. It was no different from the Venetian except for the theme of Rome. But again the same slots and blackjacks and smoke from the tobacco.
We moved from one to another just to find the same thing. The only different was the shows that were happening through out the Casinos from Musical to Comedy to adult shows to etc to etcFinally we drew back to the hotel to rest for the night. It was rather a tired day after Grand Canyon.
The next day was entirely dedicated to the Las Vegas. We moved from Stratosphere in the North to the Mandalay Bay in the South. Stratosphere was interesting with a tall tower over looking the entire strip from the North. It had some rides atop with a ride suspending in the air at the top of 103 floors and rotating in air with part of Las Vegas beneath.
We moved to all the Casinos on the same day. Its not good to come without making contribution to the city of Nevada. My contribution was not much. It was as little as $2.
The day continued with the visits to various casinos built on various themes and nothing great about them aswell. It looked good from outside but the same slots and same ways of dissolving the money.
The next day was the final day at the Las Vegas. The morning trip was to a near by state park called Valley of Fire. It was a great place to visit.
Then finally after visiting some more Casinos that night we were set for the return flight the next day early morning.
There is a saying, "W2hat happens in Vegas, stays in Vegas", But memories are still taken back. With that We started from Las Vegas, It was a nice place though.
