So at about 2 AM, it was time for the stratosphere to be closed and we were asked to leave the terrace. we came down and we realized we hardly any juice in us to walk back to the parking lot. With a mammoth-ean effort we reached the car and headed home, a busy day its been.
Oh, i forgot to mention about the Ka show that we went to on the first day, before we set off for Grand canyon. This was a show in the MGM grand and it was a spectacular show (like a musical play with stunts et all sans dialogues). With the stages moving like magic carpets leaving the artists floating in the air and backed up by a brilliant and thunderous musical score, this show simply captured the imagination. Nothing short of a visual and an aural treat, all the five senses were kept occupied throughout the show. The show is around 110 USD per head, but thanks to the friend who came with us, with his student id card, we all got a 30 dollar discount each on the ticket. Money well spent, we thought at the end of the show.
On our way back from the grand canyon, we happened to pass over the Hoover dam built across the colorado river. For the uninitiated, this is the dam that features in the recent movie 'Transformers' and some more movies like the Golden eye, and one other Harrison Ford movie i'm told. We had saved the photo session on the dam for our return back to las vegas from grand canyon. And now was the time, took a few minutes and spent a couple of clicks before we set off to vegas.
Cut back to the day after our return to vegas, we woke up pretty late in the morning after around 10 am (which is close to noon really) , we strode off to the remaining casinos in the sin city. we visited Caesar's palace, Venetian, Wynn - all casinos that also had other attractions built inside them. We rounded off the day with two shows, one at the Wynn which was a aquatic acrobatics show and another at the MGM grand - David copperfield's magic show.
We were immersed with the acrobatics show at Wynn - it was called the Le Reve - this again had amazing music and wonderful acrobatics stunts on water - the best i've ever seen.
To talk of the David copperfield show, we were simply spell bound (No pun intended).
We couldn't believe our eyes when a car appeared on the stage from thin air. There were a couple of other tricks that he performed that looked like less than ordinary but kept us entertained no doubt. At the end of the day, our pockets were lighter, so were our hearts.
There were atleast half a dozen shows at other casinos that we couldn't cram into our holiday schedule, managing just three of the best shows in vegas (that i talked of above) . If you are not the kind that wants to spend the night life at vegas boozing and gambling, these shows are a safe bet. I would recommend not missing the shows at vegas for a wonderful holiday, couples and singles alike. Having spent enough money and time on the best-holiday-of-life at vegas, we woke up on the fourth day to catch our morning flight back to Dallas, reaching home after about 2 in the afternoon. We retired for a good rest and there ended our holiday to vegas.
