While waiting in the library....
- Sunday, April 09, 2006
Can't believe I am in sch on a Sunday again!!This is my second time this semester.Gotta rush for my lab report la..so no choice..I'm doing this while waiting for Boyu(aka Boy) to come to discuss our lab report together..So while I am like stoning and nearly falling asleep, I decided to do something productive..haha...yes..upload pictures of my US trip..so I shall start off first with my Las Vegas trip!!
*Be Warned!* There will be plenty of pictures of hotels, food, shopping, beautiful lightings and very happy people...cos that's all Vegas has to offer!No photos on casinos and strip shows though...=)
so if you are in a super stressful mood, you can either read my posting and relax and start dreaming of your next holiday or better not read it cos u will be super sian..haha..so up to u!=)But one thing's for sure..I sure loved Vegas alot!
My air ticket from San Francisco to Vegas..oh no,sadly I did not manage to go San Fran, just did a transit there...
Welcome to Las Vegas!!I finally reached this happening place!
Greeted by many jackpot machines!!
Mabel and Joe in our nice hotel room at The Orleans!It was only US$21 for one night..so that means only US$7 per person!Super great deal!
Outside the Orleans..
In our hotel room balcony at The Imperial Palace..this room was more expensive and not as nice..but it was the cheapest we could find for our second and third night's stay in Vegas...
"The Mirage"
Our first Krispy Kreme that we came across!
Yummy-licious donuts!!!I miss Krispy Kreme!!
We finally made the tough choice of deciding what to eat..
Mabel!
& Joe!
In exhilaration...
Even McDonald's signboard is so lighted up!I had to take a photo with it..haha..
In the warm comfort of Mr. Bear!
We went up to the highest level of the Stratosphere, a hotel cum casino as well around evening time, so that we could see the sunset and the view of the Strip as the lights come on...
The first shot of "The Strip"
Me and Joe...with the sunset and Grand Canyon in a distance...
God's amazing wonder...look how beautiful a world he has created...
Second shot of The Strip as it got darker...seeking to capture every moment...
You can't get this kind of view in Singapore I think...=)
Third shot of The Strip...When night time arrives, and The Strip lits up...Realize that my camera is really sucky at capturing night scenes...
On top of the Stratosphere are 4 big rides...but it was not cheap..so we chose the cheapest ride-The High Roller!But it was disappointing..haha..lasted like 1 min or less if I remember correctly..haha..
This is how the actual Stratosphere looks like!
Cute pic!
Me again...amidst all the lights in Vegas...
However, all the sightseeing is not complete without food and shopping...so we headed down to Circus Circus for a buffet dinner...that was on the 23rd of dec..so we kinda celebrated Christmas earlier and treated ourselves to a sumptuous christmas meal!
Me and Mabel!Paid only US$11 for buffet man..really worth it!!
I'm loving it!Another huge lighted up sign of McDonalds!
More lights...
and more lights again...
Wynn Hotel...
Trying to get an artistic shot of me facing the hotel "The Venetian"
Treasure island..
There's really nothing much to do in Vegas during the day..cos it's only beautiful with all the night lights..so we headed down to Las Vegas Premium Outlets for some retail therapy!!NICE!!
Circus circus during the day..posing for a shot with Mabel..
Stardust in the day...
& Stardust at night...
A day shot with "The Venetian"
The hotel we stayed-nothing fantastic as compared to the other hotels..
Caesars Palace Forum Shops...
Inside, we saw...A huge wooden horse...
a shop which sells tons of huge soft toys..posing the lion and tiger...
And by huge I mean like really huge...like this lifesize polar bear!
Appetizing cheesecakes from THE CHEESECAKE FACTORY...ooh it's famous man..had to try it at least one time before going back..but it's rather expensive so we three ended up sharing one slice of cheesecake..pathetic man...but sure better than nothing..ha..
That priceless look from mabel as she tries a bite of the cheesecake..
Hotel Paris
The fountain show at The Bellagio..
another shot..
At the M&Ms shop...
I love M&Ms!!look at the many colours of chocolates behind me!I want everything!!
Me and Joe looking pleased with what we bought from the shop..=)
New York New York!A good replication of the skyscrapers in New York..
The statue of Liberty..well I did not manage to see it upclose when I went to New York, so at least I got a look-alike picture of it at Vegas...haha..
A shot with an eyptian statue outside a hotel..which I think is the Sahara Hotel..
Last but not least is my favourite hotel-The Excalibur!The exterior simply amazes me man...This was also the place that Joe won like 1 dollar plus with the jackpot and we got an extra scoop of ice-cream free from the ice-cream man..
