Viva Las Vegas!

When I first came to visit the town, I did not enjoy much because that place is for old people. What would a thirteen year old do in Vegas? Nada. So when I came to the US at legal age, I told myself, "Hah! I 'm gonna gamble!". And yes, I sure did lose. So I ain't gonna gamble again!

Las Vegas is not just about casinos and girls, this small town has plenty of things to offer. Cirque du Soleil and attractions on every hotel. The Bellagio fountain, Treasure Isalnd's Pirates, the Volcano at the Mirage, the talking statue and the ceiling that changes from day to night at Ceasar's, Gondola ride at Venetians, the rides on top of Stratosphere and so much more. Though I've been there countless of times, I'm always excited to go, there's always something to see or experience. 

So, I celebrated my birthday in Vegas last 2010 with my brother and my boyfriend (now my husband). We stayed at Stratosphere for 3 days (thanks to a friend who gave us employee discount). Although he made me rode this one for free I am never gonna try it again. They call this the Big Shot, it's a free fall ride on top of the tallest building in Las Vegas, so how high was it? I don't know, but it's the highest thrill ride in the WORLD.

If you have fear of heights, please, you're just gonna give yourself a heart attack.
After the ride, we changed outfit for clubbing. We went to Lavo to see another friend who will hook us up for free. It was 35 bucks per head excluding the drinks, so for the 3 of us, it really wasn't cheap. Then in the bar, we were the only ones who weren't wearing costumes. It was a fun night, danced for 3 hours straight 'til my feet ache. It was plain drunk and dancing. Epic night.

The highlight of our trip was watching LOVE by Beatles Cirque Du Soleil, best show in town! Two thumbs up! They played songs that I grew up with and I just can't get enough of it, I don't want it to end. I wish my parents were there watching beside me coz I would love to see their reactions. Well maybe in the future.

Great deal at the box office!

At the end of the trip, everyone is happy. Best Vegas escapade ever! This place is not definitely for family outings though. Imagine drinking, gambling and dancing with your parents or see them doing it? Yay! But though I went there with my bro, it didn't bother me, come on we're good friends too.
