We arrived to our hotel-the famous Luxor around 11pm and found the place busy and swarming with people. I wasn't feeling well the whole day and the drive was quite tiring so we took a noce long hot bath and called it a day.
One of the cool things about Las Vegas are the tinted windows and thick curtains. You can shut yourself completely out of the day and convince your body it's a middle of the night. I woke up at 10pm to almost completely blackness and had to shake Michal awake. We got plenty of rest and headed out to buy tickets for Zumanity.
The heat is hard to describe. You gay used to the temperature, but the air in Vegas is so hot it makes your eyes water and burn. However, you get used to it quickly.
The Strip is a mix of everything that is great about US. You've got here a giant Coke bottle right next to an enormous M&M and guitar of Hard Rock Cafe. New York New York hotel and casino takes you to the Big Apple and Paris or Venitian to those European hotspots. Vegas is a one gigantic kitch with lots of glitz and flare. It's American in its opulent best.
Walking down the streets here, you are wrapped not only in the desert heat, but also in the attitude that really spells out 'whatever happens in Vegas, stays in Vegas'. The carefree attitude is palpable in everything. Anything goes. This is the place with cup holders in bathroom cubicles and shows like 'The Menopause: The Musical'...nothing is too shocking or too taboo.
