A Wild Ride

Las Vegas, Nevada

Welcome to Sin City. 

What happens in Vegas stays in Vegas.

For me, it was Round #2 in this crazy city of bright lights dancing around neon signs, people dancing through the streets, bumper-to-bumper traffic, one-of-a-kind circus acts, loud music, skyscrapers, and casinos galore. 

The Strip, as it is known as, is the place to be at least for tourists.  However, natives to the area prefer other quieter places further away from the dazzling outline in the night sky.  Places like Freemont, the Hoover Dam, and Red Rock are claimed to be other sights worth your while if you want to escape city life for a little while. 

And luckily I was able to see a college friend who believe it or not is actually attending UNLV (University of Las Vegas Nevada) where we were performing, who knew just the places to go.  One of the favorites was Lucille’s BBQ and the food was amazing.  Thank goodness we went hungry because there was so much food and we ate it all!  Highlight of the night was getting the mason jar…you had to be there.  HAHA

It’s always nice to see a familiar face and comforting to know that someone is there.  Let alone, the stories that you can tell and the memories you can reminisce on together. 

And while there was always something to do or something to see, it was more about the small things this week.  Luckily, the first time around I was able to see a Cirque Du Soliel show, enjoy the nightlife that Vegas has to offer, explore the sights and views of the famous Strip, so it made sense to try to engage in other activities this time around.  No matter how many times I am in the same city I feel as if each place still has more to offer. 

Even though I don’t see myself coming back here anytime soon, I think the new journey would be to explore the outskirts of town and see what the mountains have to offer.  Maybe I would see my first mountain lion?  Who knows? 

Until next time…see you later Las Vegas.  Here we come Phoenix, Arizona.
