Glimpse of Fabulous Las Vegas

The 5 1/2 hour road trip from LA to Las Vegas was exciting. We drove off to the Entertainment Capital of the World “ with my sister and my very good friend Joy T as our daring and gutsy driver ! Truly, Vegas is a city in the middle of a desert that depicts pizazz and extravagance. As we made the entrance into the city aboard Joy's brand-new white Toyota Corolla Sedan, we caught site of an awesome cityscape and dramatic architecture. As we cruised the stretch of Las Vegas Blvd at night, I could only marvel the frenzied neon mirage everywhere. Las Vegas Blvd which is approximately 6 km. long stretch ( better known as The Strip ) is where all the action is. Walking on foot along The Strip to explore hotels and casinos was quite overwhelming.
And I must admit the stroll might be fascinating yet a bit exhausting for one nearing his/her senior years... a single night stroll is not ample to go through all the major hotels on The Strip to watch and appreciate the crowd drawing night spectacles .Undoubtedly, the night shows , the thousand-watt blinking neon lights lining the huge signages and billboards, swarm of tourists and holidaymakers including the food can stimulate some kind of electricity in the air . Also, the attractions put up by these establishments and all the night life activities are really outstanding and will never fail to amaze one who seeks fleeting pleasures.
 
The trip was not only  fabulous as I got to meet up with long lost high school classmates who were gracious to accommodate me and company into their charming homes and invest time,energy ,utilities and other costs to make our Vegas visit truly special.
