14/5/18- First Night in Las Vegas

Itinerary:
Expenditure:
Aer Lingus and Virgin Atlantic Flight ticket from Dublin to Nevada- 360 euro (one and a half hour to London and waited for 3 hours and another 10 hours flight)
Time- 7.10 a.m.
Accomodation-AAC Casino- 22.4 USD
Rate from Euro to USD-1.11

I woke up at 4 a.m., I gave my beloved housemates bear hugs one by one before I left.
I am so touched that they woke up so early in the morning just to send me off!
We took aircoach to the airport, about an hour journey

Then, we waited at the London airport for 3 hours.* starving* 
Too bad we didn't prepare enough food and we have no pound to spend!
Then, we had our flight transit to Las Vegas by Virgin Atlantic.
It was a long journey, for about 10 hours. But trust me, you will like the air-stewaress's uniform.
So far, it is the most trendy one I have seen.

Somehow, I had the wrong feeling that I am going back home, watching series of movies..... enjoying chicken with mashed potato, salad with spagetti, bread crumble and apple juice.
I LOVE food in plane! At the same time, enjoying nice movie such as Catching Fire, Lego, Wild wolf street and etc.....

 10 hours later! We were finally in Las Vegas! Unbelievable! 
But the first thing that entered my mind when we came out of the plane was not excitement anymore! Instead, I feel like vomiting! So suffering! All the mixture of bad feeling came into my mind instead!" why am I not at home? "I was super duplet triplet homesick at this very moment! 

Luckily, I still have Cindy beside me....Then, Cindy facetimed Gaby and Shin since they kept mentioned how much they missed us in FB! hehe, my dear housemates ever! 
We always complained how much we missed home! But after spending 9 months together! Seriously, we are going to miss each other so so much! including Ben who left us much more earlier to Czech as well!
* sound so sweet* LOLOL

I feel like I can vomit in the airplane though if I don't hold myself.
Such a long queue to check our passport! 
Wow, the guard was so so friendly. 
He even know where is Malaysia!
But I am so sorry that I have no mood to have "a nice chat" with him. I am just too sick!

After that, I feel like I wanted to stay in toilet for the rest of my life
* The magic of toilet, I don't feel like vomiting staying inside...
Y? I have no idea.

We took long time to find our hotel
( Actually is a hostel but they don't have dorm, so instead they call it hotel, hehe, just to emphasis we are too poor to  stay in hotel!) 
Back to the reason we took long time to reached hotel, we hardly find way for pedestrian to walk, so we ended up in the middle of highway and kept turning back to the same point!
Well, another special thing was its traffic light. There are no red, orange ,green light, but there are ready, steady and stop sign.

The first thing I did when I reached hotel named the Wild wild west! ( sound weird )was sleeping for an hour! * Syokkkkk*
 I have no idea how tiring I was actually....But super satisfied after the long rest. 
Took a bath and we went to burger king to have our lunch....I have s feeling, we have more fastfood to go for throughout the rest of the trip.....! Becuase US is country for fast food!

Then, we went to Las Vegas Sign in Boulevard by feet, it was about 6.30pm when we started walking, I think we wlpalked about an hour to reach there, but nice though. The wind blowing SO GENTLY at first( mean not after that) and we took photos all the way.

Las Vegas is the mixture of every landmark all over Europe I think. The luxor( famous for anatomy, haha, we skipped that,as medicine students, we have lot more chance to see that in dissection room) , the New York New York hotel( well known for its roller coaster), the Paris Hotel (with DeLouvre,sth like pyramid, De Mars),  Venetian Hotel( imitate building in Venice,Italy, it is famous for its magic show though, David Copperfield used to have his performance there as well! Thw world most popular magician! Oh man, how much I hope one day I will be watching his show!

We were right in front of the Las Vegas sign! Hmmm...but not as what I expected, the word of Las Vegas is not shining in yellow in colour! Instead, it is just words printed in Red! Not as what I saw from online though.... Well, we thought we met someone good enough just liek the bus driver eho picked us free from airport to street near our hotel( forget to mention this good guy in early part, he is so nice and so pround of his brother that he kept showing us his brother's family photos back in Japan, he must live his bro that much!)ooo...back to this bad guy who tried to get tax from us after taking NO good photos.....the sign was too bright actually....

We spent lot of time trying bot to make ourselves look too dark and to see the Las vegas word clearly...but failed so....is just too hard.....Cindy was disappointed as she always have high command on the photos taken but so sorry that I can't help.....

Instead of taking bus back, we walked for another 30 minutes back hotel I think...lying on the bed, I don't feel like moving anymor*slept*

Learning hw special n awesme everyone cn b!
