Adventures of PrincessNg

The drive down from LA was horrendous.. And by the time we reached Las Vegas, we were too pooped to even see what the town has to offer.

Driving down the interstate, you'll know when you've reached Vegas.. The lights will welcome you. Bright lights were a sight for sore eyes.. Especially lights coming from building rather than from the vehicles we were stuck with in the holiday madness traffic that seemed to be crawling from LA all the way to Vegas!


Bright lights.. Such a vibrant city!! All the sights you remember seeing on TV are all there for you to drool at. Yes... It looked just right out of the TV.

I walked the STRIP as it is called. And trust me.. One day is NOT ENOUGH!! And I don't even gamble..

Started in the morning when there seem to not be much people around. Walking and exploring. Seeing Paris, Bellagio, etc. Las Vegas and all its glitz is seriously a destination worth considering even if you're on a tight budget.. Because you can find FREE things to see, CHEAP food to grab, and it is highly entertaining to watch people gamble.

What is there for me to say? It is a place that would make your senses go BEZERK!!

What did I do? Walk down the strip and see the themed resorts. From MGM Grand, to Ceaser's Palace. From Luxor's ancient Egyptian Pharoahs to Caesar's Palace Roman Empire. From New York's skyscrapers to Paris' beautiful architecture. It was great to see all the things around.

Mini Eiffel Tower

New York.. Here I come!!

There's also a an M&Ms store with all kinds of M&Ms. I bought the colours you can never find. Lions to see, gardens to admire. And let's not forget my Ocean Eleven moment (together with the throngs of people I had to squash with) to catch the fountain show at Bellagio!




Animals to see, people to watch.. And of course the weird shops around that is sooo Vegas! I had so much fun going around.. It was fun..


And imagine I walked from morning right up till night.. and I only finished HALF the STRIP. but of course, I went into every hotel just to see their attractions I read about.

So plan your time well when you're there. And don't forget to set aside time for OUTLET SHOPPING. Awesome shopping with Nine West, Banana Republic, etc.. But I only had 1/2 a day before I set out again to my next destination.


Vegas was fun.. and What happens in Vegas, stays in Vegas!! *wink*

Just look at that.. The sight that greeted me as I walked towards the main entrance got me riled up for an entire day of FUN! I purposely went there on the eve of Christmas so that I can have a relatively empty park. *evil grin* As you can tell, I am a rollercoaster fanatic. (And seriously, at that time Singapore didn't have any coasters worth riding.. and there's only ONE now)

I walked around, tried every ride.. And even got seconds and thirds for quite a lot of the coasters. All these before 5pm when the park closes during winter. First ones thru the entrance and the last ones out..

The best tip I can give is to continously scream that you're a SINGLE RIDER. I took the Goliath thrice in a row without ANY waiting time. The first ride I went in, someone noticed that I was alone and shouted for me while I clambered from the back to get the ride. And after I just kept running and taking.. AWESOME!!

The Goliath is the traditional rollercoaster ride. Dead drops, etc.. No 360 deg turns, no flipping s upside down. I love it.. Imagine going down at the speed of 85MPH in a carrigae with no overhead secure safety catch. It was those lock bar against your lap. YEAH!!!

Look at that drop!!

Tatsu was amazing. Legs dangling, we're rotated to "fly" like Superman.. And this is the new-age rollercoaster ride. Swerving, rotating, upside down... All these at the top speed of 62MPH..

It was a REALLY fun ride

I totally did not regret choosing this over Disneyland. Don't get me wrong.. Disneyland is great. But I have been there before (2 days for a kid was HEAVEN) and wanted to try something more adult this time around.
