On Friday we woke up later than usually and with that little
bit more sleep we were ready for the streets of Las Vegas. This magical city
has a lot of places to go and things to do more than the well known gambling.
For example the New York New York Hotel, which besides being an awesome place
it has a roller coaster! This was the first stop for many of us during our free
time at morning. To go to this place we had to walk from the Bellagio Hotel and
enjoy not only that place but also our walking through the streets. After that
some of us had lunch at the Hard Rock Cafe while others decide to have a quick
lunch and go to places like the Caesars Palace, where the Hangover was filmed!
Definitely the Las Vegas streets are a place to spend time, they have from amazingly
big casinos to beautiful malls all together, we can say we had a LOT of fun!
Even with the extra sleep we were a little bit tired… so we
came back to the hotel after lunch to enjoy some time for ourselves, some of us
decided to go to the pool since it was our last day, and others went to their
rooms to get ready for the night that was waiting for us. Water everywhere! We
try to make the best of everything and the pool wasn’t an exception, we played
Frisbee and enjoy the really hot weather of the desert. But we didn’t had that
much time… we had to be in our busses ready for the awesome Las Vegas
Stratosphere!!! This is one of the tallest buildings in USA, and in it we had
three types of games to choose. The first one, Insanity, was insane! People sit
on chairs at a thousand feet above the ground looking down and spinning around.
The second one, Big Shot was even crazier, you sit on chairs and go up at more
than a thousand feet above the ground, once you are in the top, they drop you
off for thirty meters going up and down many times. The third one, X-Scream,
the best one, is like a rocket that goes back and forth making you feel like
you are going to fall to the ground! Some of the students didn’t go to any of
the rides, but didn’t miss anything; the view from the top of the stratosphere
is amazing. You can see how Las Vegas is a beautiful city in the middle of nowhere, surrounded by a beautiful
landscape with mountains and a colorful desert.
After everyone was done with the game and taking pictures of
Las Vegas, the buses picked us up and took us to the best buffet ever! There were so many choices of foods from
different places, Italian, European, South American and Asian. The best part
was the dessert. I think I had never eaten so much in my whole life. It was
just perfect.
Finally we went to the Bellagio again, we had some time to
walk and enjoy the city at night again. Las Vegas can be describe like the
world in one city. You have the Eiffel Tower, the Empire State, Greek
edifications and some Asian culture too, everything together creating one of
the most exciting cities in the world. But most of us had to walk quick because
something was waiting for us at the Bellagio Hotel… the Cirque di solei! Known
also as the best circus in the world, with artist from different nationalities
just like us. The ones that decided to see the show went at to the Hotel door
and then walked all together to the entrance of the beautiful Cirque Di solei
theater. There is no much I can say more than now I know why they call it the
‘Best Circus In The World’. The stage has a big pool that transforms itself
into a floor when is necessary. The water is the principal attraction and even
the roof has water drops. We had a great time and after the amazing show we had
the opportunity to be on a bus party! We enjoy our way back to the hotel, where
our friends who didn’t go to the show were coming out from the pool. Our day
was beyond amazing and I think we all agree that,
Definitely we LOVE LAS VEGAS!
