What do you think of when you hear Las Vegas? Big Lights, shows, casinos, and a lot more. My dad lives in Las Vegas and it is more than all that stuff. Yeah sure, they do have a ton of casinos and you can gamble in 7 Eleven, but that’s not all it is. Did you know Las Vegas is one of the highest rated school districts and that their schools are very popular? Vegas has all the things we have and more. Most of the communities there are gated, which is nice. Most people have a pool in their backyard, which I love! If you like pets, there are many parks with playgrounds and a dog walking route. If you feel like shopping they have a ton of malls. But what about the famous strip, you ask? That is the coolest part. If you don’t know what the strip is, it is a long road covered by the biggest and brightest casinos. Some of the casinos are the Bellagio, Paris, New York, MGM Grand, Luxor, the Venetian, and the Aladdin. Every night each of those casinos are all lit up. The Bellagio has a fantastic watershow every night and is very pretty inside. It holds the record for the state with the largest glass sculpture. You have to see it to believe it. Paris is very cool too. They have people dressed up like statues and there is always a breeze in there. You can also in the dining room in the Eiffel Tower. Sorry it’s a fake. New York is really neat and has a roller coaster like the real New York and has a bridge that you can walk over. MGM Grand is very nice also. It used to hold Siegfried and Roy’s famous tigers, but not now. The Luxor is a pyramid shaped casino. Inside looks like ancient Egypt and is fun to go to. The Venetian is like Italy. It has gondola rides that you can go on, just like you were in Venice. The Aladdin is nice for the kids because it puts on shows everyday. That’s all about Vegas that I know and now you do too.
