City that never sleeps - Las Vegas!

Wee-uuu-weet!!! We've finally reached Las Vegas!!!

State: Nevada
Weather: Hot+ultra sunny+hot+ultra sunny!

Located in what was once a desert, Las Vegas is super hot can. You can almost feel the rays of the sun beating on ur skin, you just wanna hurry into the nearest shelter. Our tour guide said it's no wonder why casinos can earn so much, because tourists simply don't wanna go out into the sun.


We bade farewell to our very interesting tour guide who was with us for 7 days.

Below is Fremont Street, which was originally where all the hype of LV was. Now they have constructed a screen over the whole street, where they play LED shows every hour!!!! The whole stretch is about 400m!
























One of the busker stands at Fremont Street created the below picture, using only spray paints, believe it or not.

























Pictures of some very famous hotels and casinos in LV:























Caesars' Palace


New York New York. You can see replicas of most famous icons in NY here, for eg Statue of Liberty, Empire State Building, Chrysler building. Can you see some red curves in the picture? Those are tracks for a roller coaster ride!!!!!

Wynn.
























Donald Trump's building still under construction. Looks spectacular already right!! Like gold-plated!!


The Mirage, another very beautiful hotel cum casino.

We also went to factory outlets in LV, where we did our last shopping. There was a Disney store which sold cute toys at low prices! For example check out the below!!















































Ultra cute toys!!! Ivan got an entire set of Winnie the Pooh characters for Shilin, aww so sweet.

At M&M building, which is the largest in USA. 4 floors in total, there was even a cool simulation ride!

Check out the variety of colours of M&M chocolates!! Holy moly!!

And below are how the famous M&M mascots today started out from. LOL.














































The thing about Las Vegas is that jackpot machines are EVERYWHERE. You only don't see them on roadsides and inside washrooms. Other than that, they're lying everywhere, with the constant jiggling sounds coming out from them. Hotel lobbies are flooded with them, the jackpot machines almost form walls and barriers!

Our tour guide told us what the top 3 jobs in LV are.
3) Cocktail girls. Basically they serve drinks to customers who are lazy to get out of their gambling tables. Mostly dressed scantily, they get heavy tips!
2) Forgotten. :( (Busy Roys, do u still remember?)
1) Valet parking boys! They can earn average of USD8000 every month!! Incredible!!!

But our tour guide also said though they earn alot, they also spend alot due to succumbing to gambling temptations. He also said that even taxi drivers earn about USD5000! Wha piang! WHAT ARE WE STILL DOING IN SG ?!?!?!!!!!!

That night, we chanced upon an arcade and decided to spend USD35 on a card which entitled us to unlimited games. HAHA! We shared the card among all of us, swiping here and there and running about everywhere. Ultra fun!!!

Bellagio Hotel.


Caesars' Palace.

I played a game of Jackpot once, while I was waiting for my friends... I simply swiveled around on the chair, inserted a one dollar bill and pressed the buttons. Normally a dollar would last you about 20 turns, depending on how many lines you bet on. BEHOLD!!!


A row of lucky 7's !!!!!!!!!!!!!! HAHAHA!!!!

Even though it looks ultra nice, it only won me 80credits = 80 cents. LOL. Because all the 7s are of different colour ma. Haha. But still, WOOT!!! ^_^ The girls advised me to cash out immediately. Heeee. And by the way, we guys gambled abit on roulette over the 2 days... we won about USD8 each!!!! HAHAHA!!! Now we can proudly boast, "I gambled and won at Las Vegas!!!!!"

Below are pics taken from Bellagio, which has its own musical fountain every half hour from 9 till 12.

Finally, Bee and me on Fremont Street, holding a long cup of La Bayou, cocktail mixture.

























Las Vegas is so pretty and happening. Check it out even though you don't wanna spend your money on jackpot machines and gambling tables. =)
