「Wow, I’m going to Vegas」
That’s my first thought about this trip, apart from original me, who used to plan everything nice and clear, this is more of an unexpected trip because the reason of this Vegas trip is to help my brother propose to his girl.
Quite exciting, hun ? Here’s comes the best part, we’re staying THE Bellagio, yes, the one where Ocean’s Eleven was filmed. I’m really excited to see that huge fountain, as for casino….hmm not a fan of gambling.
Since my purpose is pretty clear, I barely did any homework about this trip (oh BTW this is my first time to USA), think of it’s a free style trip !
I took EVA airline direct flight from Taipei to LA on 14 Dec alone, took off 11:20 then landed around 7 am in the morning. As usual I barely had any sleep because small seat and dry air inside the cabin is killing me. My very first impression of American is…why so many damn people ?

| A~~~~merica~~~ |
 |
Where the hell are these people from….
|
Impatient immigration officers did not give us greeting, instead they pretty much “yell” to everyone who doesn’t know how to line up and use those strange identity-stealing machines. Anyway after a complete chaos hour, yes a hour, I finally get my passport stamped and enter the USA !
And I’m hungry.
Sadly, the most common food I can find is sandwich, sandwich and sandwich (lol), so I had no choice but buy one to fill my empty stomach.
 |
Huge sandwich, taste okay actually
|
I choose Alaska Flight to Vegas, a well-known domestic budget flight in USA. Well I think it’s pretty okay, took me only 1 hour from LA to Vegas. When I look down to ground through window, LA vanishes so quickly and followed by huge boring yellow desert view, but as we're approaching our destination, roads and buildings start to grow from the middle of nowhere.
 |
It’s Vegas !!
|
 |
The first thing I see when landing Vegas is….of course…..slot machine !
|
But I'm too tired to play that, besides, I ere am totally aware of putting my money in that machine is a no-return trip. Once again I too a quick snap (by now I'm already awake for 30 hours), then go down stairs to meet my friends. And here comes the most exciting part, heading to THE hotel. Yes the Bellatio! Uber pick up point is right downstairs so we quickly grab ourselves a ride and head to city center.
Honestly speaking Las Vegas is bigger than I thought, I used to think that there's only 1 main street where all the hotels and restaurants (well in Vegas they're pretty much the same place.) are, but it takes quite a while to get to Bellagio. Anyway, we finally see that giant fountain !

Well....very soon the excitement vanished, followed by a bit of disappointment because the room is not really that spacious and cozy. It seems that we pay $400 dollars a night only for the fountain view. Fortunately, I'm not the one who pay for all this, hahahaha.

Guess what I do for first day in Vegas, you guessed it, sleeping. I was freaking tired, by the time when we arrived Bellagio, I've been awake for 36 hours.......so as soon as my head lands on pillow I instantly fell asleep. Well, pity, because my dudes sneaked out for sky jumping ! But it's okay, I've never been a shy guy to admit that I have no balls to play sky jumping, insult me.
After a quick snap I regain a lot of energy, so it's time for the show tonight ! The Cirque Du Soleil !
 |
| Awesome show ! |
 |
| Run you fool |
 |
| Happy folks |

As a middle class hard-working citizen, we spent almost no money on casino table (lol), instead we went 4 shows and many buffets, shopping mall and stripper club.
Blueman Show
I personally think blueman is the best show we went in Vegas, it's the craziest, funniest and absolutely amazing show.
 |
| This is so fucked up |
 |
| What are you looking at? |
Michael Jackson Show
Well, songs are great, but for me personally I think it's more of a nostalgia because there's nothing really "new". One thing barely stands out is the last AR MJ appears on stage, kind of cool, hun.
 |
| Angle man, angle |
 |
| Really unprofessional |
These two people are really fucked up....
 |
| Legend suit |
Fantasy Show
Personally I don't recommend watching this show but they do have some really hot girls..... It's just dancing and half talk show, sadly no photos guys.
Although we didn't gamble much, during 4 days in Vegas we played a lot actually.
In and Out + High Roller
Here's the legendary in-and-out for your reference.

| Jaw-falling burger |
 |
| Mind the gap folks |
 |
| My legs are shaking.... |
Zip Zilla
This is pretty fun in fact, pity that the actual fly time is only about 30 seconds, I'm totally okay to fly longer
So these are pretty much where we visited, pity that no photo in strip club, as for our casino try, well I lost $100 dollar in like 10 minutes, consider this is part of tips would make me feel better, lol.
Our next destination is grand canyon, a world-known attraction I've always wanted to visit. See you soon !
