Sorry for this late post, I've been so busy with our road trips and I hope I can catch up soon ;-) with my travelog.
The pictures above were all taken last June 30, 2011 in Las Vegas, Nevada. It's been almost 8 years since we visited there. My son even forgot everything we did when the last time we were in Vegas. When we used to live in Long Beach, California, we always go there (Vegas) every year even if it's just 1 day trip and I remember one time we just went there just to eat breakfast at one of the hotel's breakfast buffet and after that we just walked around took some pictures and then went home the same day, we only spent 4 hours there and spent more time shopping at the outlet nearby.....and it's a 4-hour drive to Long Beach, CA. And actually we did it again this trip hehehe.
And now, we're thousand miles away from California and Las Vegas we were so happy to see the "sin city" again for the first time since we came back from overseas (Japan and including Hawaii). Would you believe it that we never had the chance to gamble during our stay there??? I think we used our hotel just to sleep over and never spent time in the hotel more than 8 hours at all hehehe.
The next day we headed to Grand Canyon, Arizona and by the time we came back it's already midnight and very exhausted to play at the casino.
We had a good deal with our package (I think), which included the flight and hotel at $279 for 4 days and 3 nights already (per person). We stayed at Circus Circus Hotel but never had the chance to bring my son to play at the arcade nor to see the free circus show (ohhh too bad for my son though)....and the fact that Circus Circus hotel is popular for kids' activities hehehe .....well at least I didn't mention it to him or else he will really get mad at me hahaha.
We went to Vegas with our friends and their families but without my daughter ;-( we were 3 families who came all from Washington and bought the same travel package at the same time ;-) through online. My daughter had her separate trip to Long Beach, CA and stayed in her best friend's house but she didn't go to Vegas though.
Hey actually, I don't gamble (it's really true! hehehe) I would rather go shopping for few hours to spend my money than to spend it to slot machines just for few minutes hehehe (am I a good girl?). But we never had the chance to go shopping too (good for me though since I didn't have enough budget for that hehehe), so we just went on a road trip to different scenic views and take souvenir pictures to share with our friends on facebook and on my travel blog hahaha.
I will post more pictures from our road trips to Grand Canyon and California and then New York and Canada.
By the way, I have spent only $1 at slot machine when I was waiting for my husband to get our rental car at the car rental area, a shuttle bus away from the airport ;-) and I lost hahaha. That's the only time I played the slot machine.....and didn't come back at the casino and I didn't regret it at all.
