Viva Las Vegas

The place I went to this summer was the city of Las Vegas. It also known as Sin city due to the amount of gambling done there. When you see Las Vegas in pictures, and on the television screen you see a city with massive sky scrapers, and it appears as though it can rival New York. However the majority of Las Vegas is nothing more than a city with small houses no more than two stories high. The vast hotels and casinos are situated on a long road called the strip. The moment I got out of the airport the heat hit be like a blow dryer because the city is situated in the middle of the desert and the heat feels dry. Here in New York the heat feels humid.
When I was in Las Vegas my family and I avoided the casino's and instead went to see incredible shows like Hans Klok (a magic show featuring Pamela Anderson), Tony and Tina's wedding, and a circus involving swimming acrobatics. In addition to the shows, we took a helicopter ride over the Grand canyon which was incredible to behold. Security at the hotels was very strict concerning the age limits of gambling, they wouldn't even let me stand still in the casino, I had to keep moving to avoid trouble. Yet despite all that I saw alot of neat things like the lions, the white tigers, the shows, and the beautiful themes of the hotels. Overall I had a great time.
