Medusa's Little corner: Viva Las Vegas!!

I've been wanting to go to Vegas since my 25th. B'day and finally it came true, we left on Sunday Sept. 16th. and came back on Wednesday Sept. 20th. it was such an exciting trip that I have decided to post everything I remember, my experiences and thoughts, so, that I can tell you.. and you.. and you.. and even you, who asked me to tell you all about my trip!! Here it is :) I hope you are not bored with it!!

Saturday, we arrived at the airport three hours early, we had to leave early since we didn't know how long the line would be!!! Better early than sorry right??

Well after all the hastle at the airport, we finally got to Vegas, and what a surprise! Slot machines there!!! As I will call them now, money eating machine!!!! I don't like to gamble and I bet you are saying now "what on earth are you doing in Vegas if you don't like to gamble?" Well let me tell you, you CAN have a good time without giving your money to those machines with flashing lights....

We got to the hotel (Bally's) very nice, clean and quiet hotel and of course, once you come into the Lobby.. machines... and a heavy smell of cigarette smoke.. puagh! 19 out of 20 people in Vegas smoke... what a disgusting smell.

Anyway, the hotel is huge! So once we got into our room, I checked the view... nothing spectacular to see as you can see, but, ask me how many times I looked out the window?? Yep! Just once... so, the room was perfect!!!

This is a small view of our room

Sadly, the pillows were not comfortable... other than that... very very nice room.

After unloading and freshening up, we decided to go to The Bellagio and see if we can get tickets for Cirque du Soleil "O", we could not get them over the internet, so I read that there was a waiting list for each show, we got in line at 5:30 pm the show was at 7:30 pm, we were hoping to get tickets, since this was the show we wanted to see in Vegas, and that was the only show available for that day, they have Dark Monday and Tuesday, we stood in line for two hours, watching people earn money, loose all their money and sis and me... fumigated because the line for the theater was... where else? In the casino!

Our last meal was at 1:30 pm, 7:30 pm and they only thing I've eaten was a small pack of pretzels from the plane.... yeah, I was hungry, but could not leave the line!! At 7 pm the excitement started since a lady came to us and explained there was a 50/50 chance we got in, she showed up the seating chart, prices and because they needed to get the line move fast, (they were starting to sell tickets at 7:30) they showed you the chart, if you liked the seats take them if not, go back to the end of the line and hope there are other tickets... we were hoping to have a good view at least... well, we got the tenth row right in the middle, more prefect seats... no way... we were SOOOOOO excited we could not beleive it!!! We only missed the first 15 min. so it was not bad at all, the show it's SO much worth it, it's SO amazing!! We loved it, but we were also VERY hungry, at 9:30 pm the show ended and we were going to look for a place to eat.

Went back to Bally's and the cafe was closed (ouch) so we went to Paris Hotel which is connected to Bally's, the French atmosphere and the mall is beautiful, we went to a small "French" cafe, the sandwich was delicious!! And once rested and eaten, we went to walk around... very pretty, after a long long day, we went to bed after midnight... next day was going to be a marathon.
