A Place I’ve Traveled to (Las Vegas)
I traveled to Las Vegas with a friend this past April, the day after my 28th birthday. I had always wanted to go, as I’ve watched one too many gangster movies, and thought Vegas would be like something out of an Ocean’s eleven movie.
I saved for a long time, so that I could stay at a nicer room at Planet Hollywood, which at the time, was a newer hotel/Casino, right in the center of the strip.
I ended up having a really good time, but nothing like you’d think. I didn’t do anything I couldn’t tell my grandmother about (sadly) and I didn’t go to one night club, or win a lot of money.
What I did do in Vegas was visit Madam Tussad’s Wax Museum, ride a gondola, see a male stripper review, and visit the Eiffel Tower, I also visited over a dozen casino’s on the strip, all of which were beautiful.
I would love to go again, but maybe for a bachelorette party or, with more people, also it would have been nicer to have a little more money to stretch out. As it was I spent 1,500 hundred on the whole thing, which included airfare and 5 nights in the hotel, which is very very reasonable.

Sounds like a good time in Vegas! I'll admit I've always wanted to go and in my mind I have made it out to be like Ocean's 11 or Fear and Loathing. My parents went a few years ago and they seemed to have a good time. I hope you get to go back and get a little crazy!
ReplyDeleteThat's to bad you didn't do anything crazy! You did a nice job describing on what you thought it was going to be like in Vegas.
ReplyDeleteYes, I have been to Las Vegas as well. My husband and I stopped at some casinos on our way to the Grand Canyon. We spent $10 on gambling and then bitterly left (we hate losing money on anything). But I'm still glad we went, and I'm very glad you got to go to your dream vacation!

ReplyDelete• Should be Ocean's Eleven
• Casino doesn't need to be capitalized as it's not a proper name.
• Don't need comma after at the time
• Don't need comma after long time
• Nightclub is one word not two
• Casinos is plural not possessive and doesn't need the 's
• Should be a period after Eiffel Tower.
• Should be five
• Should be $1,500
• Run-on sentence: I would love to go again, but maybe for a bachelorette party or, with more people, also it would have been nicer to have a little more money to stretch out.
• Don't need comma after or
Sounds fun! I have a really good friend who lives right outside Vegas, but she hardly ever goes in and isn't a fan of gambling or anything. I think a lot of people hype it up for more than it is. My grandparents go to Vegas every year and just this year bought a winter home down there, they love it! But they're not crazy when they gamble.
ReplyDeleteVegas is a great time. For the past few times that I've went, I didn't do any gambling. I instead went to the clubs and during the day drove around to the Grand Canyon and other places.
ReplyDeleteThose were some awesome sites you went to see. How were the male strippers? I have never seen them. I was going to go to Vegas in April too because my birthday it also during that month. My husband's cousin and newlywed husband just went there for their honeymoon!
