The City That Never Sleeps (Los Vegas, Nevada Post)

 We took a detour on our way to the Hoover Dam through Las Vegas.  

There was a desert, and then, the city in the background.  

Welcome to Las Vegas!

 The first time we drove down the Strip, it was overwhelming.  So many people, buildings, cars, and excitement.  In some areas, the architecture looked like ancient Rome, ancient Egypt, and Italy, Paris, and New York.

We drove past the Gold and Silver Pawn Shop, which of course is featured on the History Channel show, Pawn Stars,  we didn't go in as the line wrapped around the building. It also appeared that they were filming for the show because we saw film crew members.

The front of the store and the line.  

Poor Timber isn't a city girl.  She tried to plead with my parents to leave the city!

While we were in Vegas, we decided to get tickets to see Criss Angel's show Believe.  We thought that Andrea (my cousin) would be upset if we were in Vegas and didn't see the show, but would be disappointed we went to see it without her.   

The Luxor looked like an Egyptian Pyramid complete with sphinxes and hieroglyphics.   In the background, you can see a sign for the show.  

Believe was fun and entertaining, and it left me wondering how Criss Angel could do the illusions and tricks shown.  We all really enjoyed the show!

Look at the Strip all lit up at night! 

What city are we in anyway?  I didn't think we were in New York City.  

Now I am really confused.  

The Eiffel Tower

The city was an interesting experience, but it wasn't quite my thing.  I am glad that we are heading back out into the "wilderness" or as close to the wilderness you can get driving around on highways in an RV.
