go to las vegas

I want to go to vegas and just have one crazy holiday or weekend over there time to save some money lol..

i’ll give this up, because i’m not going to be able to achieve this for at least a year. maybe in a while i’ll come back to it.

Just want to go some day!

I have never had a desire to go there, but because I am a Hawaiian, I am honor bound as a local to go there at least 50 times this year alone. Perhaps I can perform “Defying Gravity” in the LV!

to get to Las Vegas the first time. The second time will come much sooner! Heart of the American Dream!

Pic. is me on top of Excalibur.

We went on our Honeymoon 2 1/2 years ago and had a blast. We want to go back!

We are going to see Nine Inch Nails in Vegas.. I’m too excited.

I want to see NIN again 6th time this year.

Most would think that Vegas at 21 with mommy and daddy would be a bit boring. Well, I guess you can call me a square, or maybe my parents are just cooler than your parnets.
I spent 4 days, 3 for them drinking within moderation and gambling a little at the slots. I felt safe for my sobriety with my parents there. Not one night did I get out of hand. And I remembered every little bit of it.
The first night we all spent just getting me introduced to the world of gambling and losing money. I worked the penny slots a couple times, it just wasn’t my thing. But man, oh man, are there other people out there who take this stuff seriously. They even have little cards you can put into a machine (of course while clipped to your clothing) that sit there for HOURS just blowing away all their cash. I’m sure they win sometimes.
The second night was filled with margaritas at margaritaville, Jimmy Buffet’s place. Laughing with the lights of vegas all twinkling in our eyes.
We checkouted downtown Fremont Street, where the original Vegas was. It’s really a shaddy place after I’d say 11’o’clock. There were drunks running into one another, drug peddlers, shaddy looking bartenders, and frankly too many skeezy old men to hit on young ladies. None the less, it’s an experience one will never forget.
I sipped from a pastel-colored suviner tall mug full of pina coloada, while walking the Vegas strip up by Cezars Place, and MGM Grand. Snapping photos that included my family and myself. So, not only my memory would hold these times.
We sat by the equisitl designed pool. Relaxed in the amazing room with a veiw of the strip. Sipped on expensive drinks. Laughed together like we never have before. WE explored the resorts habitat, that included flamingos (of course, because it was the Flamingo Hotel), Koi fish, huge albino katfish local to Japan, but my mother and I, our favorite was this little guinea hen. A Guinea Hen is like a regular hen, but with a shrunken head. She was a simple white one that was very sociable, so we called her Nancy. So, of course we spent a lot of time walking in and out of the casinos and on the way dropping by to say hey to Nancy.
The last night we were there we all went to see the Cirque De Sole show “O”. It was sinmply undescribable. That’s the one thing I can say. Those people are blessed with that gift of art with their body.

There were other fun little stops, drinks, and slots in between but, I think I gave you the full experience.
You have to go see Vegas once in your life before you die, and try to not get drunk, to remember something is better then ever walking around drunk and forgetting!

Thanks for letting me share,

We visited Las Vegas twice, as part of two separate touring holidays.

It’s a very strange place, especially if you don’t gamble (I don’t). But a city right in the middle of the desert is well worth seeing. And some of the shops in the big hotels are superb. And the lights!

When we were there, someone won a lot of money, and security guys in suits suddenly appeared from every direction. It turned out to be genuine, thankfully.

Oh, and apparently it used to be the safest city in the US, simply because everyone is watched everywhere they go.

Well worth a visit, though for a week at the most.
