A Trip to Las Vegas (Part 1)

So a while back I went to Las Vegas or as some people call it "Sin City". People usually think of Las Vegas as a place to gamble, get married, watch show girls strip, and have fun, but that isn't the only thing about Las Vegas. There are lot's of shows in Las Vegas. All the buildings are like pieces of artwork that famous artists and architects created. It's amazing how people can create such a big and crowded city in the middle of the desert. It's called "Sin City" because of the gambling and the strip clubs there. Guess what? They were passing out naked show girl pictures on the streets. At first I was like, what could that be? I took one and I was like "OH GOD! GET THAT AWAY FROM ME!" LOL Should have listened in my friends warning. XD At least they covered the private parts with hearts and stuff. I had a lot of fun watching the shows... Well the family appropriate shows. LOL Didn't waste too much money either on this trip. HAHA

Some of the pictures maybe a little bit out of order, because I took some pictures with my DSLR and some with my Nokia N97. The naming system is a bit different so Microsoft Windows sorts them out different for me.

So the first 3 pictures are from Fremont Central Park. I meant to put that in my last post on SF Bay Area, but then I forgot. So I'm putting it in this post. Sorry. XD

Photo taking tip: Try lowering the exposure. :) It makes the picture look really nice.

Surprisingly, it was raining a lot on the way there. Lot's of rain, even in the desert. Some places were flooded! What was desert turned into giant lakes! It was raining in Las Vegas the whole time I was there.
Photo taking tip: During low light conditions (like this, it's foggy), try using a tripod to take the picture or try to keep the camera steady to keep the photo looking clear!

We stayed at the Monte Carlo hotel. 

CHRISTMAS TREE! :D Apparently, there was some dust and oil (from my hand) on the lens and the flash kind of blurred up the picture...

Fountain inside the mall. I wonder what the theme is...

The hotel I stayed at

Las Vegas during the day time.

The show Mystere's stage. I know they said no photography, but the show didn't start yet, and it's not like I was recording the show. XD Free advertisements for you guys! It was so dark. :\ The pictures pretty much all black. LOL The show was the best one I've seen on this trip.

See how thick the cloud was? It's weird how the desert can get so much rain...
Photo taking tip: Use a tripod on foggy days to keep your picture looking clear!

Another day time picture. 

LITTLE BIRDIES! AND LOT'S OF THEM! :D CUTE ^_^

V Theater

It's amazing how they can make indoors look like it's out doors. :)

Stripper Bar. LOL

M&M Store. :D My favorite part!

So next time I have more Las Vegas pictures... And some on the way home pictures. Don't worry, I will have more Las Vegas pictures, but like I said above, my pictures will be posted a little bit out of order.

Back from Vegas! :)

Hi guys! I just got back from Vegas on Friday. I didn't have any time to post so... Here I am doing it now...

It was raining really really big on the road there. It was also raining at Vegas through out the whole week. Here is a few pictures of when I crossed the borderline on the way home. What used to be desert is now lakes and marshland!

Full Resolution Photos and Prints: If you want to see full resolution photos or buy prints of any of the photos (well most of the photos) you see, they are up on my portfolio for viewing here.

So anyways... That was how big the rain was... So on the way there, I passed a street called Zzyzx Road. How you suppose to read that?

Anyways, here is what I got in Vegas.

I got this stuffed animal elephant at Circus Circus. Employee gave it to me because the machine was broken. :)

This is the Las Vegas keychain I got. 

What I did in Vegas... Hm... Well I went shopping, play at Circus Circus, and watch shows. The shows I watched are Mystere, Zen Magic, and V Show. They were all pretty good. :) Well I think the magic tricks they showed in Zen Magic was a bit amateur... I didn't really get Mystere's storyline, if there was one... V Show was awesome. :) 

The rain was like really big... It stopped on the day when I came back... It was like literally flooding in Vegas... Too much rain... I couldn't cross the street directly. I walked like half a mile extra to go cross on a sky bridge because of the water... The gutters on the sky bridge wasn't that well designed either... There were a lot of water collected on it too. Good thing most of the stuff we did was indoors... Well Vegas is like indoors. LOL

So on the way back... Desert into lakes... And like before approaching Pleasanton, heavy fog for like 20-30 miles. Saw lot's of car crashes. You couldn't even see what was in front of you! Not exaggerating. What is this world coming to? Beginning of 2012? ROFL! Tell me what you think. :P Did you see how LA got flooded?! I saw that on TV. We were actually planning on going to Disneyland... Good thing we went to Vegas instead. HAHA. Actually we originally wanted to go to Reno, but heavy snowfall... Road closed. So we had to cancel... Then we wanted to go to Disneyland, but the other family that we were planning on going with said, Las Vegas... So we went to Vegas instead... So lucky. 

So when I got home from Vegas... My new hair styling and my Solia flat iron came. :D

New styling spray.  

My new Solia flat iron.

And here is my new look. :D Tell me how I look. 

This picture makes me look like a zombie... :\ Well tell me in the comments below...

Anyways, Las Vegas pictures will be going on my photography blog once I finish with my Yellowstone and San Francisco pictures.
