A Quick Trip to Beautiful Las Vegas

Normally my mom does our weekly travel feature but this time around, I get to share a few photographs with all of you from our trip to Las Vegas, Nevada.

My husband and I took a 4 night and 5 day trip to Vegas a couple of months ago and had a great time. It was our first time ever visiting the west coast and definitely our first trip to Vegas. We hope to visit again soon.

Vegas reminds me a lot like New York City and Atlantic City in New Jersey, perhaps the two of them together. There are thousands of people out walking around, 24 hours a day. Its a city that never sleeps and something is always going on.

As you walk around the downtown area you’ll see a lot of lights and neon signs. Every business, hotel, shop and eatery on the Vegas Strip is trying to nab your attention and pull you into their direction. The streets are busy and congested, so if you don’t like large crowds, this probably isn’t the place for you.

We found everything to be quite expensive, but then again, it’s a tourist destination and visitors are coming to have fun and to spend money. If you plan on seeing any of the shows, I suggest you make reservations ahead of time. Many of the shows that we were interested in were sold out, which was disappointing to us.

Have you ever visited Las Vegas? If so, did you like it? What kind of activities did you enjoy while you were there? If you have never been there before, is Vegas on your travel bucket list?
