Vegas- a world on its own

November 9, 2008 · Leave a Comment

New York, New York, Las VegasThere is no other skyline like Las Vegas!  You can see New York, travel to the pyramids, ride the Eiffel Tower and glide over the water in  a Venetian gondola – all in one day!

Las Vegas is truly an escape from reality!  You cannot help but get caught up in the spirit of things.  I was so amazed at how friendly the tourists are to each other, offering suggestions about shows, where to find a great buffet, and how to save taxi fare by riding the double-decker bus – the Deuce.

The Deuce costs, you guessed it- $2 a ride, or $5 for all day.  During the day it is a great way to travel up and down the strip, but by night time, the traffic is a nightmare and be prepared to have long waits to go only a few blocks.  It is much like riding a party bus, and we had fun chatting with people from all over the world.  I remember one little senior lady who was as sweet as could be who actually played Texas Hold’um in a charity game with some of the best known names in Poker and WON!  Now that is something to tell your grandchildren!  You’ve got to love Vegas!
