Las Vegas is exactly what they portray in every pop culture reference. When I visited I was just beginning on a vacation and was recovering from a nasty head cold and accompanied by someone with a gambling problem so I wasn’t fully able to take in the Vegas experience. I didn’t go to a show, play the slots and party but I got to see the two main strips, enjoy a wonderful and affordable buffet and stay in a bougie old glamorous hotel. Overall a very PC boring night in the city of sin. We even got the luck of running into torrential rain in the desert of Death Valley.
I’ll be back again to take the casino for a run at Roulette and maybe say hello to Penn and Teller or watch Cirque be amazing. A lot of the photos from this trip were taking from the vehicle on a drive through so I clearly need to back to…erm…take better photos.
Grand Canyon, AZ
The Grand Canyon is one of those wonders of the world I had on my bucket list. It’s a pretty impressive natural tourist attraction in the area to state the obvious. Weirdly, my favourite part of my visit were the rain clouds that filled the canyon perfectly for some eerie photos. The one tree shot I captured grew horizontally from the cliff just below the path and looked almost inviting to wander out on as you couldn’t see the 1,829 m drop below the clouds.
