2nd Day in Vegas

The Lion King Show

USA: 12/4 SYDNEY:
13/4
I was so excited waking up in Vegas. I knew that The Las Vegas Strip only goods amazing at night. All urban areas mostly look amazing at night, not in the morning. Anyway, I woke up and prepared my camera for the day !
Before we left our hotel, I saw a couple getting married outside my hotel room. They got married near the pool area.
Wedding in Vegas !
We went down to the pool area to check out the wedding. We walked passed the pool area, and there were probably about 30 people hanging around at the wedding. I also realised all the 3 towers were connected through a tunnel. The outside pool area was big ! I think there was a gym area.

Trees around the hotel !
When we crossed some streets, I saw the horny magazines again. I wanted to take a picture of it, but then I would probably look like a perverted asian.
We saw 2 guys that dressed up as Transformers. They pose as statues for about hour in the streets, then they take a break. Must be sweaty. When they were planning to go for a break, I asked them “Can I take a picture?”. They were nice, so they allowed us, but I had to give them some tips. What a great job.
Transfromers !
We walked around some more streets. I never realised how BIG The Strip was. There were so many bridges. I guess the bridges were very helpful for photography because when you’re on the bridge there’s like an amazing view of the Las Vegas Strip. I decided to took some pictures at night, instead.
We went to the Bellagio Hotel. The hotel is famous for having thousands of flowers stuck to the ceiling.

The Bellagio Hotel, has small shopping stores. There were also portrait drawing artists. I wanted to have drawing of my face, but it was so expensive, even in black & white. I was pretty scared, if they would exaggerate my features… :L. It was also too expensive, $18. Am I that special ?
Artist Drawing Portrait Prices ! :O
The Las Vegas Strip has so many hotels, its so urban. It’s crazy that some people would put so much effort and commitment, into making and designing the hotels.
The Strip is in the desert, so I never thought any plants would be grown there. Apparently, there’s a huge garden in The Botanic Gardens.
Path in the Botanic Gardens !
Flowers in the Botanic Gardens !
We walked around the The Botanic Gardens. I got a bit bored of looking at flowers, so mum looked at the flower for a little longer. A couple asked me to take their picture in The Botanic Gardens :).

We decided to leave the hotel and I saw a pianist playing in a restaurant. We left the Bellagio Hotel and we took a break from all the walking. My skin was extremely dry in Vegas too but of the wind.
Pianist :)
Wherever we went, I wanted to stay for a little longer so I could take more pictures, but we were all tired at the same time.
Then we went to the gardens outside Ceasar’s Palace. There was a lot of shelter, so I was like YAAAAY ! There were a lot of water fountains and treeeeees =)

I also saw the Flamingo Hotel.

From Ceasar’s Hotel we could see the Paris Hotel which had the Eiffel Tower. It looks amazing at night !

We saw a statue of the Greek Goddess of Ceasar’s Palace.

We left Ceasar’s Palace, and walked around Vegas some more.
We saw the the Dancing Fountain outside the Bellagio Hotel. We watched the dancing fountain outside the Bellagio Hotel and there was a large streets infront of it for more space for more tourists. Mum asked a lady when the fountain starts. The lady said the fountain plays every 30 minutes.
Water..

The Las Vegas Strip’s streets and roads were huge because the hotels were so big. Opposite the Bellagio Hotel was the New York, New York Hotel. Im not sure, :O
Some hotels of The Strip !
I was so excited to see the Lion King show !
As the evening came, the view of Las Vegas from my hotel window looked amazing. We got dressed and we headed out Lion King Show tickets. The show was going to be played live in Mandalay Bay Hotel.
We took a taxi to the Mandalay Bay Hotel because walking would take forever. The traffic was pretty crowded but the views were amazing. The traffic was so crowded, that taxis literally had to queue up to drop off the passengers.

My parents were deciding where we should have dinner, so we hung around the poker machines. I didn't get caught cause I had my parents around with me. A lot of the poker machines were empty.
Poker Machines !
We decided to have dinner at a fancy restaurant. Can't remember the name of the restaurant.
Candle Lighting at the restaurant :)
After dinner, we tried to find the Lion King Show theatre. When we arrived outside the theatre, it was filled with so many people and 'The Lion King' show posters.

My family got seats on the left side of the audience, but the performance was so amazing. It wasn't just the props and costumes. It was the fluid dancing and beautiful body movement. The music wasn't just stereo speakers, there were musicians on the side of the audience's seat area.
I was pretty sad when security said I couldn't take photos. I actually found some clips on youtube, that people recorded the performance.
After the show, we walked decided to have a snack, since the show went on for about an hour and a half. We had Burger King, nothing fancy.
Afterwards, we decided to walk around The Strip.
Hotel in Vegas !
We went inside the Luxor Hotel which was shaped like the huge pyramid of Giza.
Went on the bridge and I saw so many hobos. :S
Amazing view of The Strip :)
