Going to Las Vegas had been a long-time wish for me. I am not a gambler by any means and wasn’t looking forward to gamble away anything more than twenty dollars. One of my goal was to see the strip in Las Vegas consisting the highly publicized casinos some of which are replicas of well-known world-famous structures. But my primary intention was to visit some of the most unique and beautiful natural places on earth located within a few hours of driving from Las Vegas, like Grand Canyon, the Death Valley, Mojave Preserve, La Jolla Cove, Sedona Red Rocks etc. Of course, I wasn’t going to miss the famous Hoover dam. In the next series of blogs, I am going to describe, mostly in pictures, about my trips in each one of those destinations.
Let's start with Las Vegas. The view from the plane as we approached Las Vegas was simply breathtaking.
The airport was neat. I specifically loved the mural and the gambling slots. Coming from Canada, this (the slots) was something new (to see them in the airport lobby).
A sculpture of a bunny somewhere in the airport was also interesting.
We stayed in Sahara, slightly out of the popular part of the strip, primarily because we got a better deal there. But the hotel was pretty good. The view from our room was nice.
Among everything else, palm trees were what instantly captured my attention. Originally from Bangladesh, palm trees always bring up some fondest memories from my childhood.
