Las Vegas!
For the last four days I was in the sin city, the city of lights, the list goes on and on.....
Because I wasn't 21 yet (and looking nowhere near it either), I've been asked several times what my age was when I was watching my parents play black jack. No worries, I'll go back in a couple years! Despite all that, the trip was still memorable becuase of two reasons: Cirque du Soleil and David Copperfield.
The grace! the energy! Mystere totally rocked my socks. Hard to describe, but the best part was when the two performers were balancing each other just by the strength of their arms for probably 10-15 minutes.
On top of that, there was high bars, taikos, incredible pole acrobatics, and gorgeous music, which I'm listening to right now (thats right, I bought the soundtrack and poster!). If only I could watch the other four Cirque du Soleil shows (Ka, Zumanity, Love, and O) during my time there.
Let's not forget Copperfield, which above standard, but slightly disappointing fare. The one and a half hour show included about 20-25 minutes of just videos, but he did pull some pretty crazy tricks outta his ass. My favourite was the uncanny ability to travel halfway across the world to Perth, Australia during the show and come back into the theatre at the MGM Grand in a flash. Great illusions indeed. Not to mention he made a car appear on stage. And move through steel. All in all, it was worth it!
And the best hotel on the strip belongs to: The Venetian
followed by:
2. MGM Grand
3. Wynn Resort
4. Paris
5. Belllagio
6. Caeser's Palace
7. The Mirage
8. New York-New York
9. Luxor
10. Treasure Island
11. Mandalay Bay
12. Monte Carlo
