Las Vegas- Land of extreme extravagance

Las Vegas is truly a land of extravagance. You have to be there to see it. The kind of things the hotels do to attract customers is just incredible. All the hotels have different themes and they realli make sure their hotel fits the theme.


For The Venetian, they really make it look like venice with a fake sky.
For Paris, they freaking build an Eiffel tower!

And yes New York New York, what else but our dear Statue of Liberty!erm... Brooklyn bridge?


And yes... there's a pyramid in Vegas as well.

SO for those who are too lazy to travel, you can go Vegas. They have all the famous landmarks around the world all at one place! Oh for those of you wondering, i did gamble in Vegas. Something realli funni happened. I started with 5 bucks on jackpot and was happily pressing max bet all the time, thinking that i was betting 15cents a game. I thought i was winning like 15 bucks when Marn Chi came over and i told him i'll stop when i hit 10 bucks. He was watching me happily pressing away until he noticed that the credits seem a bit too much for 10 bucks. he told me and I decided to cash out and the reciept wrote 107 dollars! I was betting $1.50 a game with a starting capital of 5 bucks! haha. But well, i lose the bulk of my winnings to blackjack. haha

What is Vegas without buffet? Vegas has one of the best buffets at a relatively cheap price. The food was good and the variety plenty. Overate like hell. Turned out to be one of the worst buffets of my life. hahaha



We stayed in Treasure Island for 2 nights and the non-crazy slacker's gang(those who din want to miss school) went back. The rest of us moved to downtown on the 3rd nite. Four Queens is where we stayed. It was cheap. It cost 49 per night for 2 queen size beds. Well...it was the rate for 2 people but actually we sneaked in 3 extra. haha. Downtown looks pretty interesting but too bad we din have much time to explore it. It looked like a poorer version of the Strip.
