Long Awaited entry - Las Vegas!
Hey peepz! its been long since i last updated my blog! sorry about that! Went for a 2 week tour around california(more like a camp because of the few hours of slp or sometimes slpless night) after my summer session in Berkeley. We would sleep at the very moment we were on any vehicle. But kudos to Yongxin for being the driver in Los Angeles! Must give him lotsa credits! Too much to update ..And hope i can remember all the events to update~There's quite a few photos from vegas that are still with the others..but to satisfy my loyal readers' appetite..lets jus make do with this incomplete entry! =PSo I will just start with our first stop: Las vegas!
~* Las Vegas *~
1 July - 3 July
(3days, 3night)
1st day+night
After we were on greyhound for like 15 hours we reached LasVegas in the evening..Shushu left us..and jeremy's friend,lokman will be joining us for this 2week tour..they will join us later in the night..So before that, the 3 girls + yongxin went to take a walk along "the strip"(street name) and saw many hotels..Different hotels have different themes! decipher them urselves! And whenever u enter the hotel..u will see the casino instead of the reception desk..=S
~Imperial Palace~
This is my hotel..tho it looked a bit sleazy, it's in the middle of the strip so quite a good location if u r on budget..View from our window




~Treasure Island~

Firstly there are sexy babes dancing on a pirate ship






The bridge we stood during the entire performance..Yongxin is still searching for the babes..


when u enter the casino/hotel,u see the sky!


Tao..Club + Bistro..Inside Venetian..Went to the club on our last night in vegas..The interior is nice..we have complimentary passes! Remember to get one of those..we have PURE (caesar's palace nightclub) passes too..!So we get to enter for free! hiakhiak!








The muscial fountain was absolutely fantastic!


-2nd day-
Didnt do much on 2nd day..jus shopped in the factory outlets..AGAIN! From afternoon to night..and its not enough..wahah
After our shopping spree, gillian and lokman went to watch a stand up comedy by a guy in the "Who's line is it?" show..i forgot his name..
The rest of us wanted to go stratosphere to look at the scenery(tallest building)..But didnt..cos they say casual clothings are not allowed into the pub..Hence we dropped by circus circus..
~Circus circus~
There's a huge themepark in the hotel but we just got there at the moment they closed the gates. We watched their acrobat performance, instead. Anyway, we had kripy kreme donuts here! its delicious! but very sugary!!





~Caesars Palace~
If u have the chance, go to their PURE nightclub! Cos heard its the best around with a v long queue! U could get in fast..if u pay tips to the bouncer..Stars can be spotted in this nightclub! However, we couldnt get in cos lokman was in the wrong footwear!He was in shoes..But they want LEATHER shoes!As if the bouncer cares..my guess is that we refused to give tips and jump queue and hence they didnt allow us to get in..boo. In berkeley nobody cares about appearance.. In vegas, u better dress nice! cos everywhere there is a dress code!







Took a shuttle from Harry's to go Rio for a sumptous buffet!
(Harry's and Rio are under the same group)
~Harrah's~



Went to rio hotel for buffet! A lot of people recommend this! they said that its one of the best around! YuM~~~~







cos otherwise we wont get to see the fireworks in close distance..!!They were having a rehearsal for the independence day celebration~
~Stratosphere~









After that we went to catch the show JUBILEE! (A typical vegas show!) Expensive..but worth catching!
~Ballys~







The building is in a shape of pyramid..But i werent able to take its whole structure..
