DAY 18

Friday

VIVA LAS VEGAS!!!

It was a dream to come true. Io have always wanted to go to Vegas and I have no idea why but I have and just wanted to see it and live it and to just be there.

So my sad farewells from the beloved Bistline family I love them so much for letting me stay and chill out at their house LOVE YOU GUYS!!

From Orderville to Vegas was like 3 hours but I had a hankering for peanut MnM's so I stopped at wall mart second home!

Once you leave the mountains of Utah that in a way separate the states there is nothing but flatness...all the way to the city of las Vegas. You occasionally see houses but rarely unitl you come closer to the city it's self. 

It's drugs sex and gambling. That's Vegas. As you come closer to Las Vegas you can see the strip nestled in houses and casinos and flatness.  It's pretty amazing how just one street is home to like a million pele a night and turning over $1 billion dollars collectivly. I have no idea but heck it would be alot of money!!

Well I rocked up to the valet at le Paris hotel. Had booked my room from next door at the Flamingo because Paris was cheaper and the lady at flamingo said the rooms were nicer...and they are Gorgeous.

So the valet man took my car and I went to check in. So inside the Paris is just a nice lighting of mid afternoon. Genlt not harsh lights and neon polled left right center up down everywhere. Money is being destroyed here all set in the fun and exciting interior of a little cobble stone street in Paris. Te roof is curved so the painting of the sky seems so real you feel like your floating when you look up.

There are 3 sets of 8 elevators that service over a thousand rooms. It took me a couple of goes to get to my room but hey the elevators have nice music so pleasant and french.

My room over looked the strip so I could see part of and across the way was the Bellagio hotel famous for it seated spectacular which I could see partially form my room. I scored on the room!

It was huge I had a Room sorta on the corner of the 6th floor and could see a beautiful view especially at night. The bed comfy, the bathroom fancy and French and then rest of the room was just well decorated!

I wanted to see a couple of shows so I went down stairs and came to the concierge who directed me to the discount tickets! BET! 

I walked like a mile ok so more like a few meters down the road to where it was via a bus and bought tickets to see Cirque de Solie' s magical performance of Ka! Google it. And finally the bodies exhibition that I found out about in Idaho many moons ago!

So I headed over there after trudging back to my hotel to pick up I'd because well people take cards so you need an I'd to match it. I know hey random but true. 

The bodies exhibition was being held in the Luxor casino which is egyptian themed and is actually a giant pyramid in the middle of the strip. Inside is pretty mad with like a massive water feature and arch thing that leads you to the casino. 

I took about 3 hours walking through the exhibition just staring at the bodies and how Heavenly Father made them so intricate. I was blown away and felt insignificant in the grand scheme of things but grateful that I have a unique body which I now appreciate more.

I learnt that our tounges and brains have individual patterns on them setting us even more apart. Scientists don't know why we yawn and it's not because we need oxygen they just made that up.the folds in our brin give it more surface area to hold stuff. It was mad and I got to touch a lung that had been plasticized and part of the instestines I think I dunno but it was amazing. I think I spent 1 hour just on the bones and muscles of our body. Wiggling my toes and fingers and being amaized. The funny thing is that the bodies were mainly men and Asian. I think they had fake eyes but it looked real and that's kinda how you could tell they were Asian.

By that time it was about 7 so I went back to my room got pizza down stairs and then changed and went to my show!

I sat next to two love birds who were on their anniversary from Utah but weren't members. They told me to watch the seals in San Fran and that Kentucky is a bit backwards. Tey couldn't tell me much about Chicago...no one can so I guess I'll just explore.

The show was amazing and seriously gravity defying. At one point we saw a guy skippin on a moving spinning thing and nearly die!! But he kept going and did it again. Crazy guess thats why my dad will never let me join the circus. Sad but safe.

It ended about 11 as it started about 9:30 so I headed back to my hotel and freaked out when the lights were still on afternoon mode. It was weird because it was way late and darkish outside well minus the neon lights everywhere.

But Vegas day one classic!
So I guess Vegas to some is the age old motto do something crazy with your life.
