29-30 Dec- Las Vegas+Hoover Dam

Las vegas!















While driving there, there was pretty scenery again.















You cant tell from the photo, but the wind was super super super strong. We stopped along the freeway to take photos. The car door just swung open so violently that it looked like it was gonna break off.
All the time yx was driving, he had to grip the steering wheel soooo tightly cos the wind was blowing against some steering thingy.
And we chanced upon something that is extinct in Singapore.
A&W



















We stayed at Hard Rock Hotel for 2 nights.















Las Vegas is really a money-sucking place.
Using the wireless requires $$. Even the ulu places we went to earlier provided free wi-fi.
Ah well, anw, the hotel was way cool.
Had many memoribilia of rock stars.

















































Checked out the casino in it too.
Smoking was allowed.
So imagine the smell of smoke and booze interwined together. Pretty nauseating.

































And all the lady dealers at the tables had one common characteristic.
Low cut V-necks to reveal cleavage.

The next day, explored some more.















Las Vegas looks just like any other city in the day. It is a city defined by its night lights.
Anw, there were vending machines selling....



















Iphones!
Pretty interesting.
You know how they say everything in US is supersized?
Well, Mcdonalds seems to be the exception.
Normal Singapore sized.
















Next was a drive to Hoover Dam.
Along the way, we stopped at some scenery spot first.













































So scenic that it looks like a painting. Hard to believe that I was actually there.
Hoover Dam!
















Another cold place.
Ok most scenic spots are cold, cos theyre usually at some high point.
Again, more pretty scenery!





















































Nighttime, headed back to Vegas, to explore The Strip.















































But first, we stopped for dinner at Hard Rock Cafe.















Really cool deco around.
Interactive TV at each table.















Awesome pasta and shrimps.





























eating the last shrimp!
However, I don't like the green, red and black stuff.
So awesome level downgraded abit.
Did some laundry at the hotel.
Clever me did not bring any socks for the trip. So I had to buy a pair in San Fran..
And sinces its gross to rewear socks, had to wash and iron the socks. plus my thermal wear cos I just felt like being clean.















Random photo
There were tons of people giving out these on the streets















Very very very obscene. Yet highly amusing.
Again, this paradoxical state.
Such obscene shit are allowed to be distributed around the streets.
Yet, music played on radio is censored the same way as Singapore.
no F word, N word, even Ass.
