Las Vegas Diary: 4

After visiting the Grand Canyon, a day before, we woke up late next day. It was almost afternoon, when we left for the strip. We got off at The Venetian, to enjoy a ride on gondola; which was so much fun as the guy who was rowing, sang songs while telling us about the landmarks around. And we got to click pictures along with street artists as well.

From there, we went for casino hopping and went to MGM Grand for a grand lunch. The lunch was hearty and delicious, just perfect. And of course, who can miss the lion cage in the middle of MGM Casino, got some really good shots of lion cubs. Then we went to New York New York, it reminded us so much of the city. There were replicas of Statue of Liberty, Brooklyn Bridge, most of the famous buildings and even signboards for subway and streets.

In the evening, we bought the tickets for Eiffel Tower at Paris Hotel. And enjoyed the amazing aerial views of Las Vegas from the 50th floor of the tower and even saw the fountain show at Bellagio from the top, which was a completely different experience. Spent a wonderful day on the strip.

The following day began sooner than the earlier one. We wanted to cover the south boulevard, which we hadn't seen till now. A day well spent again. And the perfect ending to the day was - watching a Cirque du Soleil show along with a fantastic dinner date. Went back to hotel late.

And as promised by my husband, we went to Lake Mead next day early in the morning to see the most beautiful place once again before leaving for New York.

Surely, it was one of our most fabulous trips, we had a great-great time. And we hope to be back in Vegas soon.
