So this is a continuation of the senior road trip. We made a stop in Vegas for two nights. I had never been to Vegas, whereas my whole family on my mom's side is in California so I've gone there every year since I was born. Although Vegas was SWELTERING hot and a bit trashy at times (since when is the Treasure Island show about scantily-clad pussycat dolls?) the architecture was unlike anything I've ever seen before. The Bellagio put me in awe, my friends who had been to Venice said the Venetian was spot on, and the City Center was a work of genius. This one is obviously of the Paris hotel with the (massive) Planet Hollywood shopping mall in the background. I'm so glad we stayed two nights there. Oh, and pretty sweet clouds too, huh?
PICTURA NUMERO DOS:
This is Cirque du Soleil. The most amazing thing I've ever seen. We saw the show on our last night in Vegas at the Wynn theatre and it was definitely the highlight of the trip. Cirque has tons of shows in Vegas at once; this one was called "Le Reve" (the dream in French). It was a water show (obviously), which we found very fitting since the five of us became friends through swimming. Plus, for a normal show the cheapest tickets are in the back row, but for this one, the cheapest tickets are in the "splash zone." Second row, baby. We were actually sitting right about in the bottom center of this picture and to the right. This picture does not do the show justice. The platform in the pool was just one of probably 20 different platforms that were raised and lowered throughout the show. The performers did the most unbelievable stunts you could imagine. As a self-professed theatre nut, I've grown obsessed with looking for slip-ups and all the technicalities of every show I ever see and I saw none. It was FLAWLESS.
