Las Vegas - a place to have fun

This city has a lot to offer : casino's, shows, shopping, nightlife and of course the beautiful Las Vegas Strip, a long boulevard with millions of lights. You can visit the world here : NY, Paris, Venice, Rome, Egypt .. You can have fun in Pirate style, go to the Circus, you can become a King or Queen in the castle of Excalibur.

I've been to Vegas a few months ago and already took many pictures :



These casino's are huge. You can walk in them for hours. The only purpose of these Hotel-Casino's is to lure people in and have them spend their money. This, of course, is not the most noble cause, but this is no place for holiness: this is a place for business, decadency and indulgence.

As we're staying here for three days, I'm giving myself some time off from everything. Ton and Mom are exploring the city on their own, at night we meet up to go for dinner and this Tuesday night me and Mom are going to ride the roller coaster that runs right through the NY NY hotel.

I've been to the movie theater yesterday afternoon and saw an awesome movie : Speed Racer. It's directed by the Wachowski Brothers, the same brothers that directed the Matrix trilogy, so you can expect some crazy film techniques.. the story itself is not the most mature plot, but the way the story is told is absolutely thrilling. It's been a long time that I sat on the edge of my seat watching a movie. GO SEE IT ! Even if you don't like car racing. Here's a trailer:
