North America » United States » Nevada » Las Vegas July 4th 2002

We stayed in a real American motel - got the room cheap as the receptionist could go home early after renting out this last one. One king size bed - three guys - shit. Enough male bonding for one lifetime has already happened on this slightly crazy road trip. In the morning after an uneventful night, we made our way to the Hoover Dam - its big impressive etc etc. Las Vegas is one of the most excessive places I have ever been, we parked the cruiser at Bellagios - the biggest, first, most expensive casino/hotel of them all. After walking around a while in the desert heat and checking out the Hotel prices for the 4th of July - $179 was the cheapest - we checked into another hostel. After sorting out our new hostel ... read more

I can only speak for myself but, I think, Las Vegas is the most interestingly extravagant and fancy city I have ever been to in the US of A. It's true! Las Vegas is the disneyland for adults! It is the entertainment capital of the world, like they say. I truly enjoyed the sights; though, ofcourse, I am against prostitution and gambling. Walking the Las Vegas strip was a lot of fun. I like the colorful lights, the extravagant effects on outdoor shows at the hotels, and the varied themes in each and every hotel in the strip. I was lucky to enjoy Las Vegas twice! I have actually already stepped on Las Vegas soil just a few weeks ago. Long story, but the point is, I have already taken a flight from Las Vegas ... read more

Ok, I admit it, I was caught by the hype of making the turn of the millennium one to remember. No fear of the Y2K bug, no fear of lunatics sending a missile into a crowd in a high profile location. SO, Vegas here we come! Cruising into the Strip for the first time is a mighty experience, even for an experienced traveler like myself. The eyes are all over the place, there is so much to see, everywhere you look. The insanely grand hotels/casinos, all of them a theme park in themselves, leave a lasting impression for the first-timer. Appears to be a good choice for celebrating the grandest of New Years, the holiday with capital H. Our little group of six lucked out on the rental car; found one that fit our needs exactly, ... read more

A car ride in the desert is about as exciting as it sounds. Even the four hour ride between Los Angeles and Las Vegas would be a rather dull transport, had circumstances been ordinary. However, the occasion is a bit special. Six friends in a party mood, travelling in a big white rental car to celebrate Y2K in Vegas. The ride is some four hours, meaning that random pit stops are a must. One takes place right after having crossed the border to Nevada. Stretching the legs, taking a leak, getting a drink, or what have you. And, looking up. The smog in LA does not allow anyone to see through the sky. Light pollution in Las Vegas is no better. But here, in the middle of the desert, with clear air and no lights, the ... read more
