Vegas

For my next blog I was going to write about something very close to me but I figured it was not quite appropriate for a college blog, hopefully i might get to post it later on. So I will conform to the normal topics so I know I will not stir up any controversy. So I will write about when I went to Vegas.

I went to Vegas last year, and I went with my whole family so I had someone to hang out with while I was stuck in the hotel room, because I could not gamble or drink, but there was only a few times that I was stuck in the room. Every day we went to see the tourist things like the big aquarium, and the huge fountains that play to music. All the casinos were huge and just amazing, however I did not get to go in them all but I went into a couple and they were massive. We went in the middle of july so it was crazy hot. Some of the days reached over 100 degrees it was horrible walking out side. A cool thing I noticed thought was that all the shops had little water mist above your head to cool you down, plus they had the huge barn fans going with people standing in the way every second.

When looking at the map of the strip it looks like an easy stroll, well it’s not. It took forever and it was like walking in a desert because it was so hot and there were so many cars, and they did not help with the heat. Pretty much everybody in my family got sun burnt somewhere on their bodies. It was a good thing that all the buildings had air conditioning. The whole time we were in Vegas there was little sleep most of us stayed up till the early hours in the morning. Also there was a lot of fast food because that’s what was in our casino.

One thing I did not like was I figured because we were in Vegas there would be little to no kids but they were everywhere. I know that I was underage but I am talking about little kids like under 15. That’s one thing that I hated about the trip they were everywhere. It’s a good thing that when we went to the pool I saw one of my favorite signs it said “adults only”. Best sign ever. They even had a game room for kids in our casino. That’s just stupid the whole reason to go to Vegas is to get away from the kids. Our reason was my parents wanted to get their wedding vows renewed for their anniversary after 30 years. So we went to one of those cheesy Vegas churches. Probably my favorite thing was the fountains that flowed to the music because they played ecstasy of gold form the good the bad and the ugly and it was so epic. The only thing that sucked about that situation was my brother missed it because he went to go find a bathroom and he loves that movie probably more than I do so he would have thought it was amazing too.

The trip also was first time for a few things one I actually saw a hooker and that was one of my goals in Vegas was to spot a one. It was also the first time I ever rode on a plane and honesty I did not like it, it was really loud and I got sick when we first landed, but what was really cool was taking a Hummer-limo from the airport to the motel. Another first was big city air, it was filled with pollution so it took some getting used to, and after an hour or so I did not notice it any more. It was probably a onetime experience for the whole family, and I will never forget it. there is more to talk about so i will have a part to sometime.
