Las Vegas!!!!!

If you don´t wanna go and visit all main cities in the world, come to Las Vegas an visit all at one!

You can see Paris, eat a baggete and go to the Eiffel Tower, and the next minute you are in Venice, in a Gongola along the canale grande; next you will be visiting New York and the Liberty Statue!
The city resume´s itself to a main avenue called The Strip.

The Srip

There are many hotels with different themes.. and ideas. I stayed at Stratosphere Hotel (http://www.stratospherehotel.com/) It was at the end of the avenue, with a great view of it. They have a huge tower, with 117 floors, and at the top they have attractions like ... rides.. such as: Sky Jump, Insanity, X-Cream, Big Shot. I didn´t have the courage to go to all of them, I went to Insanity.. and it was really INSANE!!!! Check this video - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QbehfUGx6Rs

A Mustang.. convertible mustang.. :)

It was really cheap to rent this car.. so worth it!!!

Both, the hotel and car rent was really cheaper then any other city I´ve been. Like, I stayed at Stratosphere, november, 2009, and I payed 70usd a day.

There are many shopping malls and outlet. like any other city in USA, but I LOVE IT TOO! my favorite is Premium Outlet.

I arrived before it opens! :)

The best thing is the Cirque du Soleil and other shows. Of course the Helicopter ride was awsome too!! we did it with viator (http://www.viator.com/). We watch a show every night! and there´s still so many to see. The first night we watch the Blue Man Group. We have already seen the show in São Paulo, but in their theater was way better. Then we saw Ka... a cirque du soleil show.. The stage is already a show! And the story is soooooo good!! :)

Ka Theater at MGM HOTEL

Then we saw The Phantom of the Opera (http://www.phantomlasvegas.com/), quite different from the Brodway one.. but I did love it!! they change a bit the speaches... meaning lines.. and parts of some songs.. but they did it very well!It was at Venetian.

We also saw Chris Angel (http://www.cirquedusoleil.com/en/shows/believe/default.aspx), the Cirque du Soleil show.. but it wasn´t that good. :( this one was at Luxor. I didn´t like the food there too. too different from what I´m used to eat.

My favorit show was "O" at belalgio (http://www.cirquedusoleil.com/en/shows/o/default.aspx).
The hotels are great.. It is good to just go and visit all of them...

MGM is the biggest hotel, with more the 5000 rooms. It´s where they have all the UFC fights, and Blue Man group.

The Gondolla Ride

Madame Toussaud Wax Museum

Another great place to visit is the Madam Toussaud Wax Museum (http://www.madametussauds.com/lasvegas/) . I´ve bought a pack at Viator that it was so worth it. I payed like 50 usd each to go to the museum (normally 25 usd), the gondolla ride out side cannal, and a lunch at Zeffirino. Itas was Awsome.. like our best Italian restaurant in Brazil Fasano!!!

We went for a day trip to Grand Canyon! It was Awsome!! but that is another chapter.....
