Las Vegas trip part 4

July 4th saturday night finally I got back at the Grandview Resorts, and I watched four (4) separate fireworks displays at the same time from the swimming pool area , awesome displays indeed! After these great fireworks displays I went swimming for about 15 minutes.

Sunday July 5th
On the way home to the Greater Phoenix area I stopped at Panda Express, a chinese restaurant in Kingman, AZ for an early lunch . I loves chinese food.
The US 93 highway between Kingman and Wickenburg is about 107 miles long , yes 107 miles long. This stretch of US 93 is the most boring highway I ever travelled on !

Finally I got home safety at around 3:30 pm. Whew !

I gonna start planning next trip to Las Vegas next year 2010 !

Las Vegas part 3

Last Saturday July 4th , in afternoon I took some pictures of the Strip, done some gambling --slots, then had dinner at the Grand Buffet inside MGM Grand casino hotel. Later that evening little more gambling--slots at MGM Grand. During that July 4th afternoon I done some shopping at Fashion Show Mall on the Las Vegas Strip , Starbucks Coffee inside that mall then did stop at ABC Stores where Hawaiian coffee is being sold there and i also shopped at Borders Express.

My original plan for July 4th saturday night 2009 was to attend to a major theatrical event called, " Cirque Du Soleil" held at the KA theater inside the huge MGM Grand complex. MGM Grand hotel is one of the largest hotels in the world in the number of hotel rooms!!! WOW ! But that original plan was collapsed due to the fact that "Cirque Du Soleil" show on July 4th saturday night was already sold out ! Darn it ! Last year , July 2008 in my first trip to Las Vegas ever in my life I went to see that " Cirque Du Soleil" at MGM Grand and I loved it ! Awesome !
To be continued to Part 4 , so please stay tuned. Thanks

Las Vegas trip part 2

Tourists do not have to walk around the Strip , as in Las Vegas Strip in hot weather because you can ride on air-conditioned Monorail but it is not free. A one-time ticket costs 5.00 per person, cheaper than taxicabs.

Last friday night July 3rd I wanted to swim in one of pools at the Grandview Resorts which is a vacation condos (also called Timeshare condos) but my plan to swim that same night was ruined by a stupid thunderstorm!

Next day Saturday 4th I took few pictures of the Grandview Resorts. Then I had a light lunch with a representative from Grandview Resorts. To be continued to part 3 .

My trip to Las Vegas

It was my 2nd time in Las Vegas and I stayed at Grandview Resorts which is on South Las Vegas Blvd also called , "The Strip" . I wonder why there never been a casino on site at any timeshare resort anywhere in Las Vegas ? I was there in Las Vegas this past July 4th holiday weekend.

My favorite casinos are: MGM Grand, Treasure Island (TI) . I like slot machines but I want to learn how to play video poker slots, blackjack , and blackjack slots.

I know that there was a Deaf Seniors conference in Las Vegas last week but I am little young to attend to this conference.

I already think about going to Las Vegas for 3rd time next year.
