August 25, Las Vegas Trip, Part 4

During the night, we visited Luxor Hotel and Casino at the Main Stripe. The Luxor Hotel and Casino is among the most recognizable hotels on the Main Stripe because of its striking design. I was impressed by the design of the hotel. It is so unique and is a pyramid-shaped hotel. Here are few shots from the there:
Few shots inside the Luxor hotel:



We also visited the Mandalay Bay Hotel and Casino, which is located next to the Luxor Hotel. Both of the buildings are connected. We walked through the casinos. Few shots from Mandalay Bay Hotel and Casino:


We saw a huge slot machine at Mandalay Bay Casino. Guess what, this is the largest slot machine I've ever seen in my life and it sucks my $10 for few pulls. It was fun!! We took a video and for some reasons I was not be able to upload to the blog.
Last day in Las Vegas. We checked out around 11a.m and left The Orleans Hotel and headed for brunch. Few shots before we leave The Orleans Hotel and Casino:

Stupid Darren thought he could take the picture by himself and including the people walked behind him~~ :)

We went to Chinatown, which located at Spring Mountain Rd. They couldn't make up their mind what to eat, simply because we have too many choices. I knew what I want!! Of course, I am gonna stick with Malaysian Food. There is a branch of Penang restaurant located in Chinatown. When I saw it, I knew what I want for my brunch that day. They decided to come with me, Malaysian Food!! But Lydia, she had her brunch alone at Taiwanese restaurant. Few shots at Chinatown:


Yummyyyy~~~ Malay Food!!! Nasi Lemak~~ sounds familiar~~~ haha~~ Yes, one of my favorites food~~
After our brunch at Penang restaurant, we headed to the dessert shop downstairs to have our dessert. I did not order for the dessert as I ate too much at Penang restaurant. :) I am sure I gained some weight from Las Vegas trip, I ate the way too much~~:)

Back up a little bit. Few shots at Caesars Palace hotel:
I am not sure what custume they are wearing. Greek? We just simply took a picture with them. I think we supposed to pay them tips but we did not. I felt bad afterward.


Time to leave!! Our flight was scheduled around 6pm for the day. We first dropped off our rental car and took the shuttle bus back to the airport around 3pm. We checked in earlier than I thought, it simply because we have nothing to do beside gambling. Before check in, I stopped by at Pos office to send my postcards. I think I get used to it, everytime I visit a new place, I will get my friends and family a postcard. This time I bought four, but I only mailed out two of them. It is simply because I mailed them at the Las Vegas airport and I could not remember the address. So I mailed one to my family and one to HER!

We had around 3 hours left till our flight. So We walked through McCarran International Airport, Las Vegas while waiting for our flight back to MI. We have nothing to do beside gambling. So I played for couple dollars for slot machine. As you can see from the pictures, the slot machines are located everywhere even in front of the boarding gates. They entertain you wherever you are in Las Vegas. In the other words, they want you to spend all your money before you leave Las Vegas:) Strategy~~

I won $80 dollar at one penny slot machine. I took a video but for some reason I could not upload to the blog. We spent 3 hours in McCarran Internation Airport. Unfortunately, our flight back to MI was delayed for an hours for some reasons. We were pissed! We had no choice but wait. We played slot machine again while we were waiting. We ended up lost all the money that we won!! Sucks... Maybe the money does not belong to us:( hehe... We just wanna stay away from the freaking slot machines, but we could not as there are everywhere!!! :)

Few shots from McCarran International Airport while we were waiting for boarding:




We landed around 1:30 am midnight at MI, an hour behind the scheduled time. I slept all the way from Las Vegas to MI. I was exhausted these days in Las Vegas. Home sweet home!! We had fun for sure!! I will definitely visit again but will plan to stay longer so have extra time to visit Carlifonia too!!! Concluded Las Vegas trip~~ Back to reality:(
