So, guys, guess where I went for vacation this summer! If you can't guess by the title, I suppose you're beyond hope. :)
Because I'm under-aged and took this trip with my parents and older brother, I thought I would have a really lame time. Fortunately, I was WRONG! Vegas was amazing, and I am determined to go back there, and drag some friends along, when I'm 21. Yes, Kasa and Denny, I'm looking at you.
Las Vegas is three hours behind my home time, so when my family and I arrived there, we were tired. We had been awake since 4:30 am EST, and arrived in the desert around 11:30am PST. We had already been awake for fourteen hours, and we were determined to make it to at least 9:30 pm before passing out. Needless to say, the first day was a long one. The highlight was seeing the Grand Canyon from the plane.
After that first day, they all kind of run together. Not because I was drunk, granted, but because I have a very bad perception of time. I do, however, remember the things we did, if not the days we did them.
One night we went to the Legends concert at the Harrah's casino/hotel/whatever (in Vegas, every hotel is also a casino). This is a concert where people dress up like famous people and sing for us. I was privileged to see Elvis and Bobby Darin impersonators, as well as Stevie Wonder, Steven Tyler, and Britney Spears. I have to admit, Elvis was my favorite. He was CUTE, yo. Also, my family sat in the second row from the front. Unfortunately, my brother got aisle seat, and I was right next to him, which meant that when Elvis Impersonator walked down the aisle singing to people, I wasn't one of them. And I really wanted that kiss on my cheek, too. :( (On the other hand, my brother was very happy to be spared any and all attention by the singers)
We went to a wax museum, which would have been a lot more fun if it hadn't been my mother taking the pictures. You can only do so much when Mama's watchin'. Nevertheless, it was still fun, though this will definitely be a point of interest when I return in my adulthood.
One of the most interesting things we did was ride a gondola at the Venetian Hotel. It was overpriced, and wouldn't have been worth it if I had to cover my tab, but I didn't, so I enjoyed it thoroughly. We ended up with an awesome gondolier, whose name I unfortunately can't remember. Liv-something. He was actually from Italy, and he sang wonderfully (in Italian). It was really embarrassing, but his voice was great, so it's all good. (He was my second mini-crush of this vacation, the first being Elvis)
I made a wax hand and bought a lemonade in a cool flashy cup, but unfortunately lost both on the flight back home (had to switch flights twice, yo).
FYI, Vegas food is amazing. <3
Aaaand, that's about all I can think of at the moment. Thank you for reading, and PEACE OUT, BRO!
