stays in Vegas, except when there's pictures.... By far one of my top 5 vacations, I can't wait to go back again. The landscape, scenery, sights, they are all amazing especially when on a daily basis, all I tend to see is building and skyscrapers (not to mention clouds and smog).

Not bad at all and she was extremely funny. Afterwards we went to the Hard Rock which isnt on the Strip and lets just say it resulted in a very ( Read more... )

The flight to Vegas was great. I am now a Jet Blue fan (especially since we also only paid $79 each way). We walked the Strip most of the day and I am not afraid to say that my feet hurt like a.....(insert something really painful here). We went down nto the old Strip where all the original casinos were like the Golden Nugget, the Frontier, and ( Read more... )

The week long "diary" about some subject of my choosing, as per the assignment is actually going to be about my traveling since that is what I will be doing later on tonight to hopefully, sunny Las Vegas, Nevada.
