Two days in Vegas

All that happens in Vegas stays in Vegas. A city of casinos and expensive resorts. Where nothing is a sin and you are never judged as you walk out of strip club. That is how my Vegas is!!

We came driving directly from Walnut Creek to Vegas. Spending 5 hrs of endless chat, changing songs the drive was grew more excited as we got embraced with the view of dessert flowers and hills. We stayed at SLS with windows facing the hills and Stratosphere tower. Though the casinos are not much famous here and drinks not free we quit spending much time here except for sleeping.

Since we had our own car we skipped the monorail which cost $15 for a one day pass (or $5 for one way, $9 for round-trip). There’s also the Deuce bus, which goes from the Strip to Fremont Street. It’s $8 for a 24-hour ticket. And the best part for if you’re renting a car, most casinos offer free parking or free valet. So we got free parking at the Venetian.

Get romantic with Gondola ride at the Venetian

I perhaps loved this place the most or may be due to my artistic instinct and love for Italian charm i chose to start with the casino at the Venetian. With the feel of being in Europe, fresco ceilings and San Marcos square it is just a grand majestic place to make you forget that you need casinos. You wont mind paying a bit for Gondola rides and hold your lover's hand as the Gondola rider sing to you romantic notes.

Go shopping in Forum Shop at Caesar's palace

While the Vegas map looks easy with all the casino just 1 mile away from other, it is really vast to visit all of the casinos in a day or two. So make sure you tick the casinos you want to finish with first to save time and lot of walking. We had our list made and ready. Completing one side of road we crossed for the Caesar's palace.

Even though this casino has the same games as others, Caesars, seems to be classier due to it being richly decorated. It almost feels opulent and worth spending your time exploring the shops and the property. Nice place to play and best part you get free drinks here.

This shop definitely stole my attention. With lot of eroticism and bold act of love this fine cut sculptor from ivory got its attention.

Enjoy the Fountain at Bellagio

The most Hollywood place which has made the Bellagio fountain the attractive landmark in Vegas. Every fifteen minutes or so the fountain show starts in the giant lake and lasts for the duration of a song. The fountains and lights are all synchronized to the music which forms as the best entertaining show to see the fountain shoot so high. This is definitely a must see attraction!

Bellagio has more to offer. Walk through the lobby and enjoy the beautiful season garden which is totally free. The theme of the botanical garden changes as per the season we were glad to enjoy the Japanese garden theme.

Visit the mini Pyramid at Luxor

Experience the Fremont Street

Watch the Volcano at the Mirage

This volcano packs a punch with huge explosions, fireballs, and a soundtrack from The Grateful Dead’s Mickey Hart and Indian table sensation Zakir Hussain.

Go up the Paris Eiffel Tower

Although you have to pay to get to the top, you can take pictures out front for free. A fun fact: this remake was initially planned to be an exact replica, but because the airport is so close, they were forced to make it smaller so it wouldn’t interfere with air traffic
