The Story Of My Trip To Vegas

By Chris Linch

We went on my very first tour of Las Vegas in the beginning of this year. It had always been my dream to visit this city for more than a decade, but never got round to it. Anyway, the tour was simply great.Las Vegas is a city beyond description.I am really happy that I finally got to touring this wonderful city.

We toured the city while the Great Recession was going on and so feel that we did not get to see it completely as a majority of shops were not open. We spent our days at Mandalay Bay Hotel which offered a very enticing package.This hotel was situated at the south end,but this did not pose much of a problem as there were umpteen ways of reaching the city.

The speedy transportation to Pyramid and Excalibur is not really difficult and reaching New York is no big deal. I fell in love with the grandeur of the different hotels in the city and it it really took my breath away. The only negative aspect was the smoke filled atmosphere in the boutiques,cafeterias and cards room. I felt extremely claustrophobic in that closed environment.

We commenced our trip of Las Vegas with a visit to the Hoover Dam. That was all we could do for that day as there was so much to see in and around the dam it self.We had actually planned to see the Grand Canyon as well but the visit to the Hoover Dam took longer than expected. If there is a next time , we will plan it in such a way so that we will be able to visit Grand Canyon as well.

We had a great time going around all the shops and though we did not really purchase much,it would not have been difficult spend a lot of money.Twenty thousand dollar goods could be found in many shops. What attracted us most was the genuine mementos signed by great people themselves. I was tempted to buy an autographed poster of a film, but was hesitant to spend so much of money on it. - 31515
