Day 5 - Viva Las Vegas!
Today we slept in till 8.30 and were on the move at around 9.30 after a great breakfast with classic American waffles. We made a quick pitstop to Hard Rock Hotel and then we were off to the famous Strip, where we got free time to explore.
We, "Los Dales", consisting of Dominik, Guix, Miguel, and Will, started off exploring the Bellagio, followed by the great Caesar's Palace. All the amazing sculptures and Caesar's Forum Shop's imaginary blue sky astonished us to the fullest.
After wandering around fabulous Vegas Boulevard we were starving to death. In the Aria Hotel's mall we found a cool little spot, a Spanish restaurant (best new restaurant in LV in 2010) with delicious Tapas foods. High on our delightful Tapas lunch Miguel of course decided to leave his fortune behind, aka his beloved credit card at the restaurant Juliano Serrano. We met up with the rest of the foreign crew and headed back to the hotel for relaxation by the pool.
At 4 we all went to The Stratosphere, where two of Los Dales (Guix and Miguel) and other students dared themselves to experience the second highest roller coaster in the world, XScream. An exhilarating feeling of being dropped down from 350 meters was successful for everyone, even Miguel. DALE! During our free time inside The Stratosphere Tower we stumbled upon an awesome magician, Dennis, who fooled all of us with several breathtaking tricks (although Guix figured out most of them).
We ate dinner at the Stratosphere’s buffet and afterwards drove back to The Strip to continue our encounter of amazing Las Vegas. At the Venetian Hotel we saw the famous Venice gondola canals and the fake skies. It all might be fake, but it still feels like you actually are in Venice because of its authentic atmosphere. On our tour down the Vegas Blvd. we felt obligated to stop and take a closer look at the Mirage's fantastic fire show, wow (though this does not top the Bellagio's water fountain show). Many of our fellow students walked down to the New York New York Hotel, the Luxor, Hooters, Hard Rock Cafe etc. and also had tons of fun.
Everybody had an overwhelmingly awesome time here in Sin City and we are without a doubt ready for The Golden State, California. Tomorrow we are going to Universal studios - everyone is hyped!
