Shut up and put your money where your mouth is - It's Vegas Baby!!!!!

The Sin City, as it's famously touted for. To me this is a one stop entertainment for the adults and this place has everything that you want- a giant playground with roller coasters snaking across the buildings and giant thrill rides that swings like a giant pendulum at the top of the building, a fashion mall and boulevard for the shopaholics, endless lists of show entertainments, world class night clubs, restaurants, and not forgetting the casinos in each and every hotel.

One of my biggest regret and disappointment while I was in Vegas was falling ill and contracting the worst food poisoning ever that left me bed-ridden all day, on the day when I was supposed to visit the famous Grand Canyon! *tear

After a traumatising 24 hour ordeal, all alone in the hotel room, followed by a last resort in-house call to the doctor and receiving a painful anti-nausea jab to my butt and swallowing this intense liquid down my throat to calm my stomach, I vowed to come back again to this Sin City, with the aim and promise that I-WILL-VISIT-The-GRAND-CANYON! and steer away from the sushi bars :( (I think that was the culprit to my illness- probably at Sushi Samba!) Dang the food poisoning!

The cab ride from the airport to the hotel- being greeted by the many structurally exciting venue and I can see retail therapy screaming at me in the face and my credit card jumping in my pocket nervously.


The Bellagio Hotel



The neon lights come alive at night :)





New York New York Hotel

The MGM Lion Statue


Walking on the bridge enroute to New York New York in search of the famous roller coaster :)


I got so exciting to see all these NYC icons :) Just reminds me that I will be in NYC not too long away and I wonder how it'll all be like when I am actually standing there looking at the icons in NYC, *ahhhhh melt*

All the hotels have their own bars, clubs, entertainment shows and their own little unique experiences.

There it is! The Manhattan Express! :D

Apple Toffees- so pretty!


Monte Carlo Hotel

Margaritaville- People were just walking out of this place with huge margarita glasses in all shapes and sizes and sipping on margarita on the streets while walking! :)

The Venetian Hotel- So oppulent!


Tao is here! :)

The beautiful man-made canal and gondolas await you right outside :)

Walking through The Venetian is like being in The Sistine Chapel in Italy, everything mirrors what you see in Rome. Love it and this will be my next Vegas Hotel when I go back to visit again :)

The Canal goes all the way into the shopping plaza




I love Apple-Toffees <3
They have real gondoliers serenading to you! How romantic! <3
