Las Vegas - The entertainment city of the world

The Las Vegas blog is back! Unfortunately this will be the last for now. But the pictures of the city would be enough to make anyone interested to plan a trip there! xD

Fun, crazy and entertaining Las Vegas, there's just nowhere in the world like this place. Not even close!


This is the New York-New York Hotel, which is located in the heart of the strip. Its architecture creates an impression of the New York City skyline. The hotel includes several towers configured to resemble New York City skyscrapers, such as the Empire State Building and the Chrysler Building. In front of the property is a pool representing New York Harbor, with a 150 ft (46 m) tall (half-scale) replica of the Statue of Liberty, a roller coaster, and replicas of the Brooklyn Bridge, Soldiers and Sailors Monument, the Whitney Museum of American Art, Ellis Island, and Grand Central Terminal, among other well-known structures.

 


It's really hot to be outside in the afternoon heat. Grubby's face is red from the sun.

 


This is even hotter than Singapore for sure!

 


There's always a crowd at the lion's habitat in MGM Grand. The lion habitat is just right in the lobby at MGM Grand, which is really quite a special feature and attraction.

 


Two full grown lions are in there, playing the whole day. Everytime I go there, I see them "doing it". Yes.. they are doing it.. as in making love. Am I lucky or what? Or are they really just doing it many times a day. xD

 


"A digital Boutique" is a vending machine! It's a high tech vending machine, containing lots of valuable and attractive gadgets. We see this for the first time! :D

 


They sell a lot of different ipods and also ipod accessories. What a nice idea.

 


They even sell PSP! Wow!!

 


You can select what you want to buy at the touch screen and probably pay by cash or credit card. After paying, the item will be available straight away at the receiving box of the vending machine.

 


All-You-Can-Eat-Sushi-Rolls!!!!!!!!!!!! We went for a Japanese buffet, it was helluva great!!

 


We saw this in France, and they have a miniature in Las Vegas! :D

 


Of course they will not forget to build a miniature of the famous Paris landmark, the Eiffel Tower. It's really beautiful inside, they have many nice restaurants and also a casino.

 


Grubby in the "Eiffel tower".

 


This casino trys to attract crowd by hiring sexy dancers to dance next to the tables! Watch out that you don't stare at them too much while playing, you might not know when you lost your chips! :p

 


Caesars Palace is also a very exclusive hotel.

 


They have beautiful fountains and Roman Statues everywhere.

 


What is this game? Looks so complicated.. we have no idea what they are playing or how it works!

 


The US$2.7 billion Wynn Las Vegas Resort and Country Club is relatively new, it opened in April 2005. When I was there in the summer of 2005, Wynn was just a few months old. Wynn is named after Steve Wynn, a famous American casino resort developer, who is also the 277th richest man in the world with a wealth of US$3.9 billion as of 2008.

 


The resort celebrated its one-year anniversary in April 2006 by breaking ground on a second hotel tower called Encore. The tower will be a $2.1 billion, 2,034-room hotel project adjacent to the existing resort and on the remaining frontage of Las Vegas Blvd.

 


A great view - Picture taken from the top of Stratosphere Tower.

 


You can see some of the famous hotels on the strip from here.



Most of you probably know who Donald Trump is. He has his own golden hotel in Las Vegas, named after himself too!

 

One of the must visit hotels that I forgot to mention in this blog is the Bellagio! They have a great musical fountain, and a super beautiful garden! Bellagio is a very nice place to visit, it's not to be missed!

$200-300 per night in the hotel stay, $5,000-10,000 per day in casino gambling.

hmm not too expensive 200 - 300 $ is good for that Hotel per day but for gambling per day 5.000 - 10.000 $ ? Its to expensive omfg... that Hotel must get over a few hundred thousand $ per day I think. Thx for the answer Grubby.

Well I was just speculating ;) some of the gambling in that hotel is really high stakes, but of course u can gamble as much as u want =) was kind of like a semi-serious remark. But certainly some ppl must be doing that. :p

Quoting Grubby:

$200-300 per night in the hotel stay, $5,000-10,000 per day in casino gambling.

You were also in the casino gambling? :p

Grubby
yes, but those stakes are too low for me :D

I can't get a good thrill without at least $20,000 riding on a 50/50% bet

Nice pictures. I was in the states in the summer of 2006, also came through Las Vegas. I stayed at Circus Circus, they had a playland and rollercoasters inside of the hotel q.q

I was kicked out after standing and playing at a machine for like 30 min because I was not 21.

But then I played at another hotel which has a casino and I won 70 $, but then I also got kicked out :D

Haha yeah.. they are very strict in Las Vegas. Grubby and I got checked at every table! Each new table we go to, the dealer are like.. "Can I see your ID?" It's very annoying.

In the end, we found a solution. When we visit a Casino, we would go straight to the security first, where our IDs will be checked and then they put a wristband on our wrist. When dealers see the wristband, they will know we had already been checked and allowed to play. So then it became less annoying. xD

Laugh as much as you breathe and love as long as you live.

Well it was the other way around here, it was first when we/I began to win money they would came to me in a very formal tone - 'May I see some ID, sir?'. And I of course had to play the hillbilly and act stupid - 'ID? Urgh, why?'. Most of the times they just treatened me with a fine of 1000 $, so I had to act stupid dane who did not understand a word english - it worked the first time, the other time I just said I did not know I was not allowed to play, because there was no sign saying that you had to be 21 :D
