Vegas - The Sin City

What happens in Vegas stays in Vegas! Yes and its true as you cannot pen down the excitement the city offers you.....

Vegas has something to offer to everyone! The city is throbbing with excitement all night and there are so many avenues to enjoy, you just can't get enough of it.....Don't ask about the day time activities coz probably like everyone else U'd be tucked in your bed till late afternoon :)

Well renowned for the umpteen number of casinos. clubs, mega hotels, Vegas is a glittering city amidst the desert zone of Nevada. If you are going to Vegas for the first time, do stay on the strip..... There are 5 strips with plenty of hotels (East, West, North, South and Center). You can probably visit Vegas anytime of the year. It does get pretty cold in the winters and vey hot in the summers, but that does not stop the inflow of tourtists to this place

List of 10 things, I feel, you must do while in Vegas:

1. The Cirque de Soleil show (I would recommend 'O' as one of their master pieces) - Cirque is a Canadian troupe globally renowned for their acrobatics and synchronized performances. As you have to pay a price for most good thing sin life, watching a Cirque show is no exception to that....the prices of the tickets range from $200 - $500. However the good news is there are half price tickets or discounts available throughout the year and you can get tickets as low as $60 (though it would probably be the balcony or last row) to about $150 (front rows).

2. The laser show - Vegas downtown has laser shows on weekends. I am not sure if there are shows on week days as well during tourist seasons.

3. Walk through the strip - There are plenty of mega hotels and walking through each one of them would probably take 2/3 days. Each of these hotels have a unique architecture.
Luxor is designed as the pyramid, then there is disney land, new york new york, mgm grand, mandalay bay, paris, venice, stratosphere and so many more ..

4. You can catch one of the hyonotic shows - magicians include the audience for these acts....I wont leak this one....check it out!

5. The Bellagio Dancing Fountains - You must and should see this in the evening. You can watch it on youtube to get a preview and know why I recommend this one. The synchronization of the fountains is perfect. It was one of my best Vegas experiences.

6. If you want adventure in Vegas, go for the stratosphere ride. From the top of a very tall tower, you almost hang and then spin around to catch one of the best views of Vegas. Its thrilling and one of the scariest rides.

7. Casinos - Invest some amount (start small as the city sucks ur money forever) to play on the tables or slots. There is a high chance you would not win anything but you never know.....Blackjack, poker, roley and slots are one of the few choices available.

8. Buffet - These buffets have a huge variety and its worth your money. Most of them are $20. But some including alcohalic drinks can cost you between $50 - $100. We had ours at Luxor. I would recommend the desserts.... there was a large variety and it was delicious!

9. Clubbing - If you love to dance or booze, there are plenty of choices from cheap ones to super expensive ones. Ladies you can skip paying as several clubs allow women in for free! :D
So enjoy your advantage as one amongst the fairer sex! I would recommend going to the club on the top of Mandalay bay, great view, classy place. Make sure you know the dress codes. Most of these places will not allow you in jeans and t shirts.

10. limo ride through the strip - I will recommend this to a group of friends. Probably will be fun to do it after you are really drained out by dawn.

So GET, SET and Go Wild in the Sin City!

The depth of innocence

The lights had turned off and a tear flowed silently with a soft sob. Introspection and reflections through the mind. Small hands unfurled...
