Adorable Travel : Las Vegas
Hello everybody:
As you know, I mentioned my troubles abroad before. You can see the article I wrote clicking in this link erasmusu.com. Many thanks for supporting me.
I am such a crazy traveller and I want to inform you about what you should do and where you should you in Vegas.
1-The Strip Street
If you guys decide to visit Las Vegas, The Strip should be your first destination because you will discover ''The pyramites, Eiffel Tower, Statue of Liberty, etc. '' The Las Vegas strip is also the center of the gambling and entertainment industry. Probably, You would like to play poker and watching animation shows of the hotels.
If you like danger and action as I do, you should experience the roller coaster in the New York-New York hotel. The machine made us a little bit scared, but there was super-fun and it was super fast. You should take a sit on the first seat and then just wait for some adrenalin. Its cost was just 14 $ in 2016 but it was worth it whatever it costs.
Everybody knows The Bellagio Fountains from Hollywood movies. It is one of the best activities to spend in the Strip. Bruno Mars also made a video clip for his last song ''24K''. It is one of the free things to do this in Vegas. You can watch this show every 45 minutes. Probably, You will watch this show randomly when you are hanging out in the Strip.
Here is the Bruno Mars 24K link: Bruno Mars Video
One of the important places for adrenalin lovers was 'The Stratosphere Hotel' in Strip Street. There are perfect machines such as Insanity, X Scream, Big Shot, Sky Jump to experience adorable memories.
Insanity
Insanity the Ride is a truly mind-bending experience! A massive mechanical arm extending out 64 feet over the edge of the Stratosphere Tower at a height of over 900 feet, this Vegas ride will spin you and several other passengers in the open air at speeds of up to three 'G's. You'll be propelled up to an angle of 70 degrees, which will tilt your body into one position — straight down! If you're brave enough to keep your eyes open, you'll be rewarded with a breathtaking view of historic downtown Las Vegas. Experience Insanity and walk away to tell the tale!
X Scream
Ever played on a giant teeter-totter 866 feet above the ground? With X-Scream, you can! It's space age, yet simplistic design resembles a massive teeter-totter or a Vegas rollercoaster unlike any other ever seen. X-Scream propels you and several other riders headfirst, 27 feet over the edge of the Stratosphere Casino, Hotel & Tower. Try not to scream when you go over the edge — you don't want to scare the other riders! After being shot over the edge, you'll dangle weightlessly above the Las Vegas Strip before being pulled back and propelled over again for more.
There are also Sky Jump and Big Jump but I couldn't get in them. That's why I have prefered to copy-paste ''Insanity and X-Scream'' from offical websites of Stratosphere hotel. You may get more information from the offical websites of Stratosphere hotel : Stratosphere Hotel
2-Grand Canyon
Grand Canyon is the national park of the USA. The Canyon's location is between Nevada and Arizona. The road takes 5-6 hours by car from Las Vegas to the Canyon. That's why you should start during morning times if you want to take good photos before nightfall. You will also drive in the Road 66. It is really famous road in the USA, you may stop to drive and take great photos in the desert of Arizona. There are 4 different touristical points of Canyon. West Rim and South Rim are the most popular visitors places. The Skywalk is in the West Rim but you have to pay for it. I didn't experience it but I heard that the cost is 9 $ for the entrance. If you go to the National Park by car, you have to pay 30 $ for the entrance of the National Park.
3-Other important locations
Hoover Dam : Especially if you study enginering sections, you should see this engineering marvel. It is just an hour far from Las Vegas city center. Hoover dam works as a states border, it seperates Arizona and Nevada. If you want to visit this place, the tour price is 30 $ for the whole day.
Madame Tussauds : It is one of the most famous museum all around the world and you can find the Madame Tussauds in Las Vegas too. The Museum allows you to take photos and funny videos with the actors and singers as Michael Jackson, Rihanna, Will Smith, Marilyn Monroe, etc. You guys will have such a great time there and the enterance price is 30 $. That's why you should visit the museum.

There are a lot of type of tour options. For example: airplane, boat or jetski, bus, helicopter, hike/walk, horseback, off road or ATV, race or exotic car.

For example: Hakkasan, Hyde Bellagio, Foxtail, Marque, Tao, SX, Omnia, Drai's Nightclub, Rehab, Sky Beach Club.

The Hotels are fancy and pretty cheap. I advice to stay in the The Strip Street or Downtown for housing. They don't have a big price difference and they have the location advantage.
You can also use the city buses services for transportation in the city. The company names are SDX and Deuce. You pay 8 $ to buy a daily pass or you can take a ticket for 2 hours and it costs 6 $.
If you want to go to the airport or to come from there to the city center, there are some different kind of shuttles which cost between 7-12 $.
