Las Vegas

I am not a huge fan of gambling, exorbitant drink prices for fancy cocktails, clubbing, and staying out past 10 PM, so on the surface Las Vegas isn't for me, but I have been twice, and I have enjoyed it both times although I am not clamoring to go a third time.
The first time I went was in the summer of 2010 with my parents and brother. We started and ended our Out West road trip to the Grand Canyon, Lake Powell, and Zion National Park from here. I was a couple of weeks shy of 21, but I was in awe of the intricate details of the casino hotels, and really just enjoyed wandering around and taking in the sights. We stayed at the Parisian and upon our arrival were upgraded to a suite. The only problem was that it only had one bed for four people, which began a running joke on the trip. 
The second time I went was in the winter of 2011 with some high school friends. We went while we were on winter break from our college classes. My one friend's parents had a timeshare on the strip, The Polo Towers, and we decided it would be a nice hurrah to end our senior year of college. This time I was 21, and could fully access the casinos, bars, and clubs. 
Vegas is a city where, in my opinion, you only need to stay for 2-3 days. After that, drive out to some of Vegas' close by destinations like the Grand Canyon, the Hoover Dam, and Zion National Park. Read on to see what happened in Vegas which will not stay in Vegas as I will give you a brief synopsis of things I did here. 

My Itinerary

• Honestly, I really enjoyed people watching and wandering around the hotels/casinos and the strip. If you aren't into the vices of Vegas, this could be something for you. 
• Comedy Show. When I went with my family we went to a comedy show and really enjoyed the comedian we saw. He was hilarious but pretty clean. I wish I remembered his name, so I can look him up and watch more clips. 
• Looked at the different chapels and staged a picture of my mom and dad for their 25th wedding anniversary. 
• Vegas pools are pretty lit, to use a Gen Z term. 
• When I went with my friends, we meandered around to different casinos and to a couple of clubs. We pretended like it was my bachelorette party to get free drinks. I even bought a fake diamond ring. 
• Took pictures in front of the Vegas sign. 
• Window browsed and shopped along the strip but didn't buy anything because EXPENSIVE!
• Ate at a buffet. A lot of food for a good price. 
• Saw a Cirque du Soleil show called Zumanity. We waited until the day of to buy tickets and that was all that was left. It is an adult themed show, and I had had some wine at that point, so all I remember is naked women twirling in the air.
