The Bus started from Los Angeles at 7:20 AM on Saturday. We reached right on time but to the wrong address! We walked all the way for 15 minutes to reach the correct address. We boarded the bus and it took us to one of the branch offices of the tourism from where we had to catch another bus to the main office. Was wondering whether they will take us to vegas or just show it on poster [Everybody will think the same when such a trip comes for so cheap deal :-) ]
Atlast we boarded the main bus and the journey started at around 9:30 AM. As we were going, the temp slowly started rising. We reached the London bridge around 12:00 Noon. The temperature outside was just 110 degrees. Arizona was literally getting baked in the sun. It did not bother me too much, i was just remembering the good old days in the college during the month of May when the whole campus heats up.
The London bridge, as per the guide was the oldest antique in the US. It was having the typical British looks.
London bridge was the only item on the menu for the day. From there, we went to a place called kinsman. The night stay was scheduled at this city.
Next day morning, the tour was scheduled to start at 5:15 in the morning, we boarded the bus as usually at 5:15 Indian Stretchable Time!
We reached canyon at 9:00 in the morning. The place was too good. I was just recollecting the scenes from Jeans, Everything was the same except that i was there with my friends, not Aishwarya rai Hmmmmm:-)
We spent around an hour and half at the canyon view point. We then left to the iMAX complex to watch a 30 minute IMAX movie on canyon, finished our lunch and headed towards the vegas.
We boarded the Reviera hotel at vegas by 6:00 PM, dropped the luggage and started for the night tour at 6:30PM. The night tour began with the Ceasar's Palace. We saw the Light&Water show with robots playing roles and headed towards the Rio casino where we saw a live dance show.
From there, we headed towards the Volcano eruption show at the Treasure Island.
After the volcano show, we headed towards the Fremont street show. The speciality of the show is the speakers. The set is designed to give an output of 140000 watts. We have to just stand below the roof where the speaker is set and it will be pretty much audible. It went on for 5 minutes and once it got over, we went to the final show of the day, "The water dancing" show at Bellagio.
All the shows that we were taken to were free shows. We were left at our hotel by 10:00 at night. We went out to the strip street and roamed around for some time and then went to the Casino at treasure Island.
I lost around $20 and stopped at that point. We came back to the hotel, had a sub for dinner and had a nice sleep.
Next day, we started at around 8:30 AM, went to the strip street and roamed around few popular casinos like MGM & NY-NY.
We left the vegas at around 10:30, came to Barstow at around 12:30, had our lunch and went to a factory outlet. I purchased few t-shirts over there.
We reached LA by 6:30 PM and the trip ended pretty smooth. But it was real tiring. Thus went the long weekend and am now back to work.
