My trip to and about Vegas

        Las Vegas is located in Nevada, USA. It is a desert, and has become this place of amusement for adults. The entertainment for adults includes casinos, alcohol, and one-of-a-kind-souvenirs, like slot pens, or cups that say weird stuff. With so much to see and do, it has become clear why it became one of the most popular cities in the US. And with so much alcohol, you know what/on the bed, and gambling, it also became, “Sin City”

            One year during spring break, my family and I went to the US for a vacation in Las Vegas. We started our journey by driving across the US border, and filling up our bellies at the wonderful buffet. We later went to the Bellingham airport to catch our flight to Vegas.

            Las Vegas is made up of many hotels and other attractions, but what I liked the most were the buffets. On the first day in Las Vegas we ate at a buffet. The dining in Las Vegas was simply divine because of the taste. There were two buffets that we dined at (not including The Wonderful Buffet). One was at the lovely Paris Hotel. There the décor was so finely made that it seemed like we were dining in Paris. There was delicious gravy with pork, chicken and any meat you could think of! The next day we went to the Bellagio Hotel and ate at the breakfast buffet. There was a vast Variety of cooked meat and delicious scrambled eggs. This décor made the diners feel rich, and hungrier, especially in the morning because that is when people are most hungry. I know this because I’m always like that. The juice at this buffet is freshly squeezed and the desserts are always really creamy.

            After meals, there`s nothing better than to go to a show to satisfy the needs of excitement. The shows in Las Vegas were inspiring to most people, and impressive at the very least.  One of the shows we went to was at The Mirage Hotel and the trip there was tiring, because it was really far away from the hotel we stayed at, but totally worth it. Fire was spewing out of little machines completely in sync. The fire was moving to the same beat of the drums that were being beat. The other show was at Bellagio. Instead of having fire and drums come out, it had water and music playing perfectly in sync. There was not a lot of other entertainment for us kids in Las Vegas, so I went on Facebook for a little bit in our vacation. The last bit of entertainment source is the marvellous pool at our hotel, Monte Carle. There was a figure 8 current pool and a wave pool. This place even had a beach! The beach was artificial of course. The current pool had inner tubes you could ride on or sit on. I invented the triple tube by stacking three on top of one another. It was amazing.

            We visited many hotels when we were at Las Vegas, and one of those boring time wasting hotels was the Treasure Island Hotel. We could not find shops so we left right away (lol). There was also a very medieval hotel Called Excalibur.  It was built like a castle, and a very fun arcade was underneath it. This hotel I personally like. I like Egyptians, so we visited a hotel shaped like a pyramid with a sphinx in the front.  The room were going up the pyramid shaped hotel. So the higher the floor the rooms were, the lesser rooms there were for guests to stay in. However, the hotel was pretty big. The name for this fabulous hotel is Luxor. New York New York (aka... NYNY) is right beside these hotels and there were was so many casinos in it and it’s not that tall, so I don’t even know if it’s a hotel or not. However, this hotel has an amazing feature. NYNY is made up of famous buildings that only exist in New York, and a roller coaster that connects the all of them.  The most memorable hotel is Vanisha. It was an Italian kind of hotel. There were gondola rides with a rower singing an Italian song. The trips took the guests around the hotel in style. In the town/hotel square, Italian opera singers would put on a show every hour of the day.

Finally it was time to go home. The flight home was just as good as the trip to Las Vegas . In the sky, Las Vegas seemed like squares of light, and we could see no darkness in the distance. Even up in the air, Vegas seemed so bright that I now call Las Vegas “The City of Light”. All the buildings looked as big as building blocks, and cars like ants. It was the sights only giants could see. I had a lot of fun here I hope we can go to Vegas again next spring break.
Guys give me a rating to between 1-5 stars and critique if you spot any mistakes! thanks!
