The last trip before I left the States for good, Las Vegas, sin city: famous destination of gamblers,shoppers,etc. After I got an overbook flight when flew back from Paris, a benefit of being in trouble was getting a free ticket for domestic flight. By that time Nico came to visit me in the States, we designed to make a trip (as usual) for us.
The Hangover: one of our favorite movies which filmed in Las Vegas,Nevada became a reason of what we chose to travel. As I said, it was the last trip before I left, I asked my American best friend Frank and Cheryl his girlfriend (now became ex) to join us. Nico and I flew to the city first because another couple got to work. We spent 2 days just together then wait for others to catch up. The first night was amazing. Nico picked the Mirage,a great 5stars hotel for two of us. Everything was so fancy!
We were hanging around the city all day long, trying to see some shows and stuff. One thing we couldn’t miss was going to the outlet mall. I totally forgot the name and how to go, but I remembered that we spent lots of cash there especially Nico got a very nice suit from Burberry, and I got some good deal bikini from Roxy and Ripcurl,etc.
The weather in Vegas was kind of crazy. It was pretty warm and dry during the day,and chilly during the night. Don’t even talk about inside all of casinos, I felt like I was in a fridge, it made me freezing somehow.
When Frank and Cheryl arrived we planed to hit Grand canyon. However, it was very far to drive there and we didn’t have so much time. We could make on “Red Canyon” which was not as fantastic as the Grand one but it was amazing and fun!
We drove all day long, stopped on side way, shot some pictures and the arrived to The Hoover Dam, and hit a little part of Arizona.
I still remember how hot and dry it was, I got sunburn by that time. However, when we backed to Las Vegas, we got some chilling weather again at night even though we went in May.

I totally understand why people called “Sin city” by not being hesitated. The trip was great, fancy,and spectacular. Nevertheless, I’m not a gambler, it could make me bored sometimes,for sure that we gotta make it at least once in your life.
Also, no wonder why so many people desire to get here, Las Vegas…
