After receiving a great job offer that was to start in a week, I decided I needed to celebrate by spending a few days in Vegas. All of my friends have jobs and husbands and kids and could not get away with one or two days notice and head to Vegas, so I went by myself. My family thought I was crazy…

A lot of work goes into these events racers spend months training and fine tuning their "boats". They are up before daylight packing all of their gear and loading up heavy machines onto trailers and into the back of truck beds just to drive hundreds of miles to get to a rac…

Farewell to Melbourne and to begin our Round-the-world trip.

There's three inescapable truths in Vegas - Death, taxes and the fact that almost every attraction worth visiting happens to located in the precincts of, and built by, one of the Las Vegas hotels / casinos. So if you're seeking thrills in Vegas (other the slots and tables), all you h…

We were thrilled, Las Vegas, the city were everybody heard off. The city of gambling, incredible hotels, the strip, Fremont Street, and we saw it all. In the late afternoon we arrived and saw from the bus the Stratosphere and th Strip. Our hotel was just outside the centre, in Winchester. Immediate…

The school had excursions everyday. We could decide if go or not. The first weekend, 22nd to 24th of Aug., the school had excursion to Las Vegas and Grand Canyon. It costed us $260 for Vegas and ＋$225 for Grand Canyon. I was puzzled whether I go or not, but I don't know when I can…

It was my third time in Vegas, and we arrived in on Friday Nov 2nd. It was good to get away from the cold dreary Canadian weather. Because it was a five hour drive to the airport from Sudbury, then a two hour wait at the airport in Toronto followed by a four flight, we were, not surprisingly, very …

My boss decided that the Vegas Bar and Nightclub convention was a useful field trip for his business. His top people got to get in on the action, and lucky me- was one of the 3. Basically what this was in actuality was a forced vacation from our 40-50 hour work weeks. We accepted graciously... Anyw…

Partying with my friends during my time off work...

We didn’t have much planned for our last day in Vegas, so we were finally able to sleep in. We had breakfast in the Imperial Palace, which was pretty poor. Actually the Imperial Palace overall must be one of the crummiest hotels on the strip. Their ‘feature’ is a platform where there ar…

DAY 4-Monday June 25, 2007 We had to get up terribly early, checked out and caught our shuttle bus at 4:00am...we ended up driving around to a few more hotels to pick up people and didn't even make it to the airport till around 4:45am.  We decided to take advantage of something they call "cur…

AN EARLY FLIGHT TO THE MID WEST… I can't believe am back in MO. 2 times this year am in MO. I went to the west side of the state, now am going to the east side and south side. Should i call myself a Missouri expert HAHAHHAHAHHA......YEAH......NOT!!!! :P I of course did not have plenty of sle…

We'd planned to do this on Wednesday but due to the President’s visit air space had been restricted so Thursday it was for our near death experience. A skydive has been on my list of things to do, although I never thought I'd ever do it. We were picked up at 8am from the strip (strange place thi…

WOW Vegas what too say about it, it is too much. We have been there for almost 4 days and really enjoyed it. Coming from Springdale (Zion) we drove the I15 South towards Vegas. At Glendale on the I15 we took a D tour towards The Valley of Fire National State park. It was a good drove on a not …

A chilly 40 degrees, scented casinos, marvelous water shows and beautiful people aren't going to keep me away from sin city!
