From the window, the city looks completely abandoned in day light.
We walked around for a couple of hours last night, and I wasn't expecting it to be this ridiculous. It is completely crowded by people ranging from the age of zero to eighty, from obese to slutty middle aged women. It's literally, as my mother put it, a human zoo. To add to the overall chaos, there is not one meter to be walked without a small Spaniard wearing a "Girls to you in 20 minutes" T-Shirt sticking naked women cards in your face. I'm not even exaggerating by saying they thought I was equally as interested as my father in this service. They're thinking I'm under 21 and have nothing to do at night anyway. Hah. These cards ultimately end up tiling the pavement all over the city.
The french section of the city is probably the most of France most Americans experience. The fake Tour Eiffel towers over the fake Louvre which is next to a fake Arc de Triumph. The whole thing filled with a giant casino. Can't say I really felt at home in the fake roman inspired section either, although the juxtaposition with the Indian temple is quite inventive.
I am staying in Treasure Island hotel. I haven't had the chance of seeing the Pirate Show they put on yet, but I heard some explosions from afar. The entire bottom floor is filled with slot machines. Come to think of it there is I am yet to come across a location which only serves for its purpose. Even the airport looked like a massive casino.
The only mildly impressive thing we've seen up until now is the fountain show at the Bellagio hotel. Combined with "Con te partirò" it becomes dangerously cheesy, but it's still a pretty sight.
I've refused to take any photos because you can really just google it and get the right idea.
Tommorow at 4am flight over the Gran Canyon. Excited.
