I flew from Hamburg Airport on 7 a.m. Shen, Liauw, Indra and Yuli accompanied me to the airport. Departing from NIT building on 4.30 a.m, we ran a bit to the bus stop, since we played card until 4.10 and I had to take a shower before leaving. This is an indication for a rush trip during the next ten days. Btw.I said good bye to Shen, my chinese sister, right in front of the boarding gate, since she was also leaving to Austria.
After 12 hours of flight with Scandinavian Airlines and a stop at Stockholm, I arrived safely at Newark, New Jersey. Then I had to wait for another 3 hours at Newark to catch the flight to Las Vegas with Continental Airlines, of course I used the time to look at the duty free stores.
I am so relieved after arriving at Vegas and got a shuttle service to my hotel in downtown, Las Vegas Club. This is not the downtown I had expected, because in Vegas, there is two centers, one is called "downtown" which was the center of large casinos and hotels in 1930-60ies and after that, they moved the center to "the strip", where they have all grand casinos like Bellagio, Mirage, MGM Grand, Paris LV, New York New York, etc.
With Deuce Bus ($5 for 24hrs) one can go up and down the strip. So from this point of time, that bus is my main transportation beside my feet and the monorail. On this very first night, I visited Circus Circus, which is a family oriented casino and hotel because it also has a large area of amusement park inside its adventure dome. After this I will just refer casino and hotel as casino because practically every hotel has a casino in it.
Then I visited Treasure Island, another casino which has a very good show called "Mystere" (by Cirque du Soleil) that I really wanted to see, but unfortunately they didn't perform a show during my stay in Vegas. I went on to another luxurious casino, Mirage. It has a beautiful interior with an indoor tropical garden. In this casino there is a cool club called Revolution, for which I got a free entrance ticket, so I spent two hours enjoying the music and dancing there.
