Las Vegas Summary

After a year of waiting my trip to Las Vegas had finally come. I was amazed with all the flashing colourful lights and all of the glamerous places there were to see. Vegas gave me many opportunities and experiences, it brought me many pleasent and also many unpleasent memories. It was crazy and i felt like i belonged in a movie.

Three planes and many hours of waitng felt well worth it when i woke up the next morning in Vegas. It didn't matter where you looked there was always something to see. We started are adventure by touring all the different hotels. The Venetian had a river inside with gondolas and 3D celings , The Belagio was a ritzy palace with a water show every fifteen minutes. Every hotel had its own unique aspects and were created by Steven Wynn. I was told Stev Wynn strived to outdue himself with every design. These places were jaw dropping!

The next day was quite exciting however, not in the way you are probably thinking. My sisters and I decided to leave the restaurant that was located beside are hotel early to drop of a days worth of shopping bags. We were taking are time and joking around when i hear a knock at the door. I was going to open the door right away thinking it was my dad but for some reason i decided to peek in the eye hole. What i saw staring at me was an unfamiliar male . I immediately told him he had the wrong room. His response startled me when he said he figured i was going to say that in the harshest tone i have ever heard. Thats when hell broke loose. we never spoke a word after that. He screamed threats at us, called us names, said he was going to be in are room in two seconds and that he could hear us crying and that we better be scared and he repeatidly punched and kicked are door trying to get in. At one point he even tried to get a maid to let him in telling her it was his room. We were petrafied and are texts messages to are dad weren't going through so Mariah called the front desk in a panic. 20 minutes of this continuous behaviour and security finally came up, as did my dad. Lets just say things didn't go over so well and my dad wasn't impressed at all.

Day three turned out better for us my aunt and uncle joined us to a fancy meal and a terrific show by Circ De Selai. The show was called Le Reve which means The dream in english. I have never seen anything like it in my life! It consisted of acting, singing, had fire, water and smoke. All of the actors/actresses were acrobats and throughout the entire show they did flips, spins and jumps. It kept us entertained and is something we still talk about today.

The fourth day was my cousins wedding and it was very exciting especially because it was my first time being a bridesmaid. They made their wedding extra special by placing the date on my cousins husbands deceased brothers birthday. He was supposed to be the best man and they wanted to include him. After the ceremony we released baloons. I knew that Steven was with us and that he was just as happy for them as i was. At the reception there was many speeches, some made us laugh while others made us cry. I felt like i got to know them better when listening to stories there family and friends shared. We danced all night in the beautifully decorated hall and it turned into a wonderful cluster of memories i will never forget.

The following day after the wedding a gang of us went to Old Las Vegas Blvd to check out the light show and the zipline. Drama seemed to follow us there, outside of a souvenier shop a guy came up to us and started singing to the baby, he was pretty good and some of my group gave him a couple bucks to keep going. The store owner came outside and started freaking out telling the guy that he didnt want people like him outside his store " god knows what your going to do". The guy said he wasnt going to do anything and tried to ignore him but the store owner wouldnt give up and before we knew it the owner had wipped out pepper spray intending to get the guy but ending up getting all of us. Security and the Las Vegas police showed up we were witnesses/victims and had to write statements. Never thought i would have to deal with the police twice in one week! Do you belive me now when i say Vegas is crazy!?

Las Vegas was fun and an eye opener. I loved being there with my family, everyone really enjoyed themselves and it gave us a chance to catch up and reconnect.I loved my surroundings and the opportunities.We hit a rocky road but if it wasnt for those situations this summary wouldve been pretty boring and i wouldnt have come back with these unbeliveable stories! Would i go back to Vegas? Deffinitly but i think ill wait until im a little older.
