One of the best places I have visited in US. I had a hectic schedule of covering Los Angeles, Las Vegas and Grand Canyon because of that I couldn’t spend much time in Vegas even though I have stayed there for two nights. Los Angeles is a nice place to live and I really liked it but the place we went was not really worth while you are reaching there in the middle of night and stayed in a below average motel. The place we went was universal studio’s and I had a great expectation before going there but it was not that satisfactory though some of the reality shows were really good. One of my colleagues told me that the Sunset Blvd is a nice place to visit in the evening and he also said that I might see some of the actors and many of the costlier cars. But at the end we saw only BMW’s and few Benz nothing else. On Saturday night we returned to LV and it was 2.30 in the morning and we were really tired so we couldn’t make it to any casinos. Just think for a moment when you left your home key in LA which is 300 miles away your room when you are staying in front of the door at 2.30. Yes it happened and unfortunately nari didn’t have his apartment contact number. Thank god we had the laptop with us and thanks for that unsecured net connection too, we found the mobile number and the apartment guy came after 30 minutes and got 25 bucks for just opening the door. Even at that time we were not sure whether we left the key in motel or lost somewhere in the universal studios. When we called up the motel guy he said he can’t check at 2.30 and asked us to call in the morning. Luckily the key was there in the motel only but when we asked him to courier he wants us to send the pre-paid business reply envelop to courier the key.
For this courier we have spent an hour in the morning and the plan for Grand Canyon got delayed. We thought it will take only 4 hours to reach GC but it took more than 5 hours and finally we reached at 3.30. We had just 3 hours to view all the view points of the canyon and we completed it before three hours since it was looking almost same from all views. When we enquired in the visitor center they said the Sunset will be good but it was very cloudy so there was no sunset at all. Grand Canyon is the place not to see it’s a place where you have to camp for 2 or 3 days and do some hiking. But currently the climate is very cold and it’s mostly covered with snow so it’s not wise to go for camping now. We started in GC at 6.30 and reached LV around 10. There starts the good time of the trip.. Wow I was really amazed with the way the Casino’s were built and it was awesome. We spent 4 hours in few of the casinos and we were planning to go for the ride in the tallest building in LV but it was raining at that time and it screwed up everything. There was one fountain show in front of the Bellagio Casino and it was superb. I could able to capture the show in my camera too. Next day morning we got up at 10 and spend some time in the casinos before the flight departures and I have played the Black Jack in that time. Unfortunately I won few bucks too.. Over all Las Vegas is a wonderful place and I wanted to go again if I get a chance.
