(;: 4th Day in Vegas & The Human Nature Concert ! :)

4^th Day in Vegas

The Human Nature Concert !

USA: 14/4 SYDNEY: 15/4

Nearing the end of the trip of Las Vegas :(. The Strip involves so much walking, if you want to see everything. The 4th day of Vegas was more about seeing all the hotels and what Vegas has to offer, rather than seeing shows.

We woke up pretty earl around 7am. I hated that I wake up so early in the holidays, but I wake up so late at home. Why ??!

Mum filled her large purse with needs and emergency stuff. We left the hotel and yea.

We went out to a restaurant for breaky. Can’t remember what we ate.

I wanted to go on a roller coaster ride from the New York New York Hotel. Since we had already been to Disneyland, mum was like "Don't go on it, it's not as good at Disneyland'. We went inside the hotel, and I lined up. It was so expensive ($14). I went on by myself.

After the ride, I was so disappointed because it wasn't even worth $14. It went so slow and wasn't scary compared to the rides in Disneyland.

After the ride, I saw my mum looking around a shop in the New York New York Hotel. It was filled with Spongebob stuff and toys. I also had to go to the toilet and the sign said “Dolls” instead of “Girls” for the toilets.

"Dolls"

The toilets were actually in a large arcade game area, I guess it’s a good way to make you spend money. There were also Bart Simpson toys. If I can’t win in arcades games for a toy, I’ll just give people the money so I can buy the toys :(

Arcade Game Area in NY NY !

We walked around the gift shops at the New York New York Hotel and the key chains were so cool ! They had poker chips and dice with fake diamonds. I was pretty happy with the prices ($12 for 4 key chains). We ended up buying 3 poker chips and a few other things.

After New York New York hotel, we saw the Excalibur Hotel. The hotel looked amazing at night but I don’t want to post picture of it. We didn’t go inside the hotel, but the hotel was shaped like a palace. It looked like a magical fantasy at night. :O

The Excalibur Hotel !

Walking along the streets of the Strip, there was a guy that offered tickets to see Criss Angel’s magician show. Mum always says to me “Never talk to strangers” but the guy to us to the manager of Criss Angel’s Mindfreak Show. He said we would get discounted because the show was in a few days. We turned down the offer :(.

I also saw some "Thunder from Down Under" Posters. :O

The 4^th day of Vegas was probably the day where we were walking the most. We saw the Luxor in Las Vegas which was a pyramid shaped hotel. It probably holds to most rooms out of the hotels. My friend stayed in that hotel and she said the ceiling was slanted to create the slope of pyramid :O.

For lunch, we went into a restaurant that had finished it’s closing hours. The restaurant looked Italian and had nice sculptures. We had a buffet, and I had some pizza and salad.

Human Nature Concert

[ Our feet were soooo exhausted and we were planning to go the Human Nature Concert. We rested our feet for a couple of hours before we could walk.

We decided to walk to the concert because taking a taxi would cost too much money. I don’t remember what hotel the concert was in.

In the concert, there was a stage that was connected to two long platforms. My family got seats along the side of the platform and we were really lucky.

I also found out that Human Nature was a vocal group not a band but they do use instruments. I was pretty happy when I found out that they were Aussie. The vocal group were from Sydney and two of the members were brothers.

I realised that the show targeted people in there 30’s – 50’s. I did enjoy the show to be honest. I remember the groups asked if there were any Aussies in the audience and my dad put his hand up. Haha, he was a bit embarrassed :P.

I couldn’t use my camera but the show had some documentaries, singing and videos.

They sung a couple of songs and danced off-stage and I high-fived with one of the band members.

After the show, the band members decided to sign autographs. ]

My family decided to see some hotels. We obviously knew that, to see the best sights of Vegas, would be at night. =D

We saw The Mirage Hotel that had a large artifical volcano eruption. It was really crowded but we stood opposite the volcano to get a good picture of the volcano.

Volcano at the Mirage Hotel !

We saw Planet Hollywood & Treasure Island. We saw the Venetian Hotel, which was probably one of my favourite hotels. The hotel was very Italian, including the shops and the architecture. The surroundings of the hotel were also very Italian. Everything about it was so breathtaking, I thought it was overpowering the other hotels on the streets.

Street lamps outside the Venetian Hotel

Inside of the hotel there were a lot of shops and a few designer brands. Parts of the hotel had Renaissance-like paintings on the ceilings which scared me. There was an amazing part of the hotel that was like the world of Italy. Everything inside it was so European.

Inside the Venetian Hotel !

There was a fake blue sky that was painted on the ceiling.. illusionist !!

Even the shops and restaurants were Italian-themed.

We saw some small cake shops !

Cakes !

Something that blew me away, was that there was a large pool area filled with water, and literally had canoes with people on it. I think it was called a Gondola. We walked around the inside pool area and it was right in front of the shops. You could sit in the canoes but the rower would steer the canoe around the inside pool.

Like Italy

It really amazes me how much time and effort people put in, to make Art. Why am I so lazy ?

We left the Venetian Hotel and walked along a few bridges. So many hobos :S

The Strip !

Notre Dame !

The Bellagio Hotel !

The Flamingo Hotel !

These pictures were taken on a phone :( When we were at the Flamingo Hotel, there were pole dancers on the stage. I was so embarrassed when my mum went infront of them to take a picture of them dancing. D:

"Dancers"

Bally’s and the Eiffel Tower :)

Ceasar’s Palace !

Human Nature Billboard !

Harrah’s Fountain !

I saw a man posing as a statute next to me. I wanted to take a picture of him but he seemed too scary. I also went into a Sephora store, because Sephora isn't available in Australia.
