We didn't have a lot of time in Vegas. Our flight there was 4hrs late, so that left us with not much time to wander around when we got there. But we did walk around till 2.00am (which is 5.00am Jersey time. Imagine that, almost a whole 24hrs without sleep!) and we got too tired and just went back to the hotel. The temperature there was terrible when we first arrived: about 43deg celcius. Although it was insanely warm, the humidity was as low as can be, so it didn't feel uncomfortable. I got used to it on the second day. Btw, all these photos are taken on the second day. 
This is the very famous musical fountain of the Bellagio. They have shows every half hour I think, or at least that's what they have me thinking. Not sure what the time for the last show is, but do try to catch it early.
Brooklyn Bridge in LV? This is LV's New York New York Hotel and Casino. Not sure how it is inside as we didn't venture inwards since we were on a tight schedule. We only entered those casinos that we thought were worth a visit. This, unfortunately, was not one of them. Qiqi's laughing heartily here as she imitates Tianze's hand signal. 'What's this suppose to mean? Call me ah?' she asked, and we all shared a laugh.
This is the Venetian. We did go into this one. Made to look like Venice, the inside is complete with a river and gondolas running through it. Both sides of the river on the interior of the casino are lined with restaurants and shops.
At the aisle of the Venetian.
The Phantom of the Opera plays here. Not sure how good the singers are, but the prices are comparable with the ones in NY. There is a photo of the interior of the theatre, and it doesn't look too shabby. Xiaoyun was tempted to watch, but thought that she would rather leave it to the cast in 
This has got to be my favourite hotel in all of the strip: Caesars Palace. It is just simply magnificent, with all the Roman statues and decor. Nothing on the strip can be compared to what Caesars has done.
Watch out for this fountain, as this is where they have a show. Not sure how often the show runs, but we were lucky. We got there just in time for a show. The sound system wasn't really good, so I sometimes can't make out what the characters were saying. Just ask for directions to a show at the fountain.
The outdoor swimming pool at Caesars.
Treasure Island. They have shows every night here at the entrance as well. Must wait there at least 15min before the starting time as many people gather to watch . Quite seriously, the story is a little absurd...but for a 20min free entertainment, I shouldn't complain. I like the decor of TI too, but Caesars still take home the prize.
Nothing much in the Mirage.
The Excalibur. Should be a good casino to visit but we didn't have time to really walk through the whole casino, so we just settled for the buffet dinner.
This is the Luxor. Seriously, this hotel and casino is not at all interesting to visit. Or it's just that we did not see the nicer parts of the hotel. Time was tight, when such entertainment was not readily available, we just left.
Stratasphere, the tallest hotel in Vegas. Have to pay to get up to the top, that's why we didn't go. There is a small amusement centre up at the top, consisting of 3 thrill rides. If you have extra cash to spare you may want to check it out, cause one of the rides dangle you over the edge of the platform!
Circus Circus, the casino I remember best from 13 years ago. Inside, the casino looks like a carnival, with games stalls and slots machines surrounding a stage where acrobats perform (free) every certain period. Once again, we were lucky to have just arrived and a show was about to start. The acrobatics was okay, wasn't something too spectacular, but hey, it's free, and we appreciate it very much nonetheless.
This is the Adventure Dome in Circus Circus. Just another themepark kind of place. Had enough of themeparks? Then just give this a miss. But I love roller coasters, so I had to come see how the roller coaster in here is like haha. 
Oh, there is a Krispy Kreme outlet in Circus Circus, make sure you guys go try it! Go for the original glazed doughnuts, those are the best. A word of caution though, it is rather sweet, so if you don't like sweet stuff, better just buy one. In any case, you have to try it!So that's almost our whole journey of Las Vegas. Apparently there are some outlets there that friends said were worth checking out. Then it comes back to the same ol reason: NO TIME!! So I would recommend at least 4 days in LV. It really is quite an incredible place.
