A trip planned during the thanksgiving holidays, gives ample time to explore the place. And what better opportunity to visit 'Las Vegas', Nevada than this. We had a morning flight from La Guardia Airport, NY and we were there in time. While waiting in the lounge for boarding, we came across an actor from 'Outsourced'. She is one of the funniest characters in the show and I went ahead and asked her to confirm. It was her only, along with another actor.
We boarded the flight at 8 but it was delayed by an hour due to visibility issues in Chicago. And that made the connection to Vegas really tight, we made it somehow. The view from plane before landing was breathtaking, Vegas looked like a small green patch surrounded by desert all around. And finally, we arrived at McCarren International Airport, Las Vegas around 2:30 in the afternoon. From there on, we claimed our baggage and left for hotel.

The journey was definitely tiring, so we tried to relax in the room for a while and went out to see the strip in the evening. The strip - was fabulous, just the right word to summarize the view. Flickering lights, zooming traffic, towering buildings, hustle-bustle of the crowd and the fountains at Bellagio - it was mesmerizing.

We had a great evening and got back to hotel after dinner. The following day, we had plans to see Hoover Dam and Lake Mead.
