It is a dream come true to visit Las Vegas. If I ever live in Las Vegas, I think I will get wasted everyday. We have drove for so long on the road, sacrifice our sleep to travel from Los Angeles to Las Vegas but it is all worth it.



Giant mega-casino hotels are everywhere and the city is decorated with lavish care that make you feel out of the world.



Eiffel Tower in Las Vegas and it is just as stunning as the Eiffel Tower in Paris!

Even the McDonald's in Las Vegas also looks so cooooool! 











One of the MUST-SEE attractions in Las Vegas is the Fountain Show at Bellagio. It is playing "Time to say goodbye" by Andrea Bocelli and Sarah Brightman. I still have this amazing WOW WOW WOW feeling every time I play this video clip.

We had our late dinner at The Cheesecake Factory.



And of cos, one of the must order food in The Cheesecake Factory is cheesecake!! I love this red velvet cake so much!



Even though the whole trip was really rush, it was definitely a memorable trip with awesome company. Special thanks to Christian and Devy cos this trip will never be possible without these two "pilots".

Vegas, I will be back for you again....

It was definitely an impromptu and crazy decision to visit Grand Canyon. We arrived in Los Angeles tired and weary after surviving a 11 hours flight from Narita. Without a plan and proper rest after flight, we headed out for our adventure to Grand Canyon and Las Vegas.



We rented a car for two days from Enterprise and we chose this red Toyota Corolla.



After a long 6 hours drive, we finally reached Las Vegas from Los Angeles. Stayed in Siena Suites for one night and it costs about USD80 for the two bedrooms suite. I would say that it is a really cheap and decent accommodation.



Good morning Vegas! This is the view from our suite. We booked our tour pretty last minute through phone from Scenic Tour. The duration of the whole tour is approximately 7 hours and costs around USD250 per person. This package also includes the charter flight from Scenic Airlines Terminal to Grand Canyon West and return.

We had our lunch from A&W. Oh, don't you just love A&W root beer float and waffles with ice cream?



A&W, PLEASE COME BACK TO SINGAPORE! SINGAPOREANS LOVE YOU!

This is my first time taking a charter flight. Even though I spend most of my time in the air, I was really nervous to take this small plane. The flight is really unstable and it feels like the plane will crash anytime soon. However, the view from above is really breathtaking and it is such a great experience.

Oh yeah! We conquered this 30 minutes bumpy flight together! :)



Our first stop was Eagle Point. It was named so for the landscape's resemblance to an eagle. Are you able to spot the eagle?





I took a lot of courage to take this photo. I am really scared of heights and this is why I am sat down in this photo here.

The weather is so hot and dry and nothing beats having a big cup of coca cola with ice to quench one's thirst! My coke comes free though :p



One of the highlights in Eagle Point is SkyWalk. We can't bring in any mobile phones and cameras into the attraction but this is how SkyWalk looks. SCARY RIGHT? I was really scared that I have to drag everybody to walk with me and I did not dare to open my eyes at all.



But...but...I am so glad that I DID IT!



Our second stop was Guano Point.













Hey no! I am not the shortest in the group. I look so short because of the downward slope.

And…It was time to take the flight back to Las Vegas.
