Viva La Vegas

Tuesday, July 29, 2008

viva

If you are aware of Coldplay new album (viva la vida) as well as my main purpose to Vegas, you could roughly reckon what could be expected next. YES!!! It's all my favorite British band, Coldplay. You are allow (strongly suggest) to close this window or tab if you find yourself hardly fit in the content. However, if you are big fans of Coldplay, hundred and thousand welcomes to this land. We should all shout "Wooo Hooo" before scrolling further.


Well, have you shouted?


I mean seriously, have you?


A reward for you if you did.
billboard
Now point at the butt and shout again! Wooo Hooo~~
Take it easy, this type of billboard is a norm in Vegas.

dress
Posing for my new dress. Only for Chris Martin @.@

darling+i
Million thanks to my main sponsor. Took this while we were on shuttle bus.

Patiently waiting for Chris.

In My Place

(Yup, I was the one shouting like mad!!! Don't blame me!)

Viva La Vida (full version)

(Sorry for blur angle, I was tapping my feet and waiving my hands)

Lovers in Japan

(Love this so so so much!)

coldplay2
Wanna know what were flying around? Those weren't just color paper. They are Butterflies :)

What's after Coldplay? Just poured myself a couple of drinks and enjoyed the moonlight in the pool. I framed all the beautiful memories and ready to say goodbye to Vegas.

I'll announce the winner of my Vegas's souvenirs on the next post.

You might be the lucky one this time, comment harder in this post :)

Sinful Las Vegas

Saturday, July 26, 2008

Why people called it a sin city? Plainly because it's a city dedicated for you to get drunk, then go gamble or just have fun with your partner, perhaps a temporary partner. We came here mainly for Coldplay, partially for our approaching seven years anniversary. If you pop a question by asking how do I find that city, I would certainly provide you a firm answer, superficial.

Despite its enormous crowds and extreme weather (42 degrees), it's an ideal place for couple to spend their weekend. Read me clearly, weekend means one or two days, nothing more than that. Unless you love gambling.

me+slot
I hate gambling! Just for a glamor shot.

slotmachines
Uncountable slot machines. You name it they have it.

dealornodeal
Deal or No Deal. I don't know they can actually turn this into gambling medium.

ebay
They even have Ebay slot machine (fainted).

Unlike Genting, casinos in Vegas located in all hotels' lobby. Each of them have different attractions and themes. And there are tons of hotels, from famous to tourists friendly, lay on the Strip. Yup, that's they way they called the main street in Vegas, Strip. See, how sinful is that sounds.

mgm
This is MGM lobby. I watched my shows at MGM Grand.

ka
Cirque Du Soleil, Ka. Although it costs us US$ 165 per seat, it worth every cent. Two thumbs up, for the interactive technologies they apply to new age circus. A must watch!!!

One the most exciting things is, you can bring your alcohol drinks to everywhere in Vegas. You often see people holding beers, champagnes, or wines. Isn't it interesting to get drunk under the hot sun? I want to try.

coyoteugly
So, I got this at New York New York. An Octance Coyote Stick (orange + Vodka) that costs US$ 16.

me+drinks
Super size alcohol drink!

darling+me1
Yuuummmm Sinnngggg!!!

brooklyn
Sipping it at the so called New York Brooklyn Bridge.

newyork
This is New York New York. They do have the Statue of Liberty but I can't find the picture in my memory card. Hmm...

m&m
The cute M&M and Coca-cola stores.

montecarlo
Posing in front of Monte Carlo.

darling+me2
We have Monte Carlo in Genting too. Uncle Lim got so many inspirations from Vegas (not a compliment obviously).

paris
And this is Paris. A mini size Paris.

fountain
The night view in Paris is really beautiful! Utterly beautiful indeed.

foundtain2
So real. I wish I was in Paris.

eiffel
Look at the Eiffel Tower, magnificently awesome.

If you are a loyal fans of Ocean Eleven, Twelve or Thirteen...

bellagio
You must not miss this Bellagio Building.

And Vegas most wanted Dancing Fountain in front of Bellagio. Watch this clip and feel the love :)

I love LV

You might be taking granted about my post title but I'm just about to disappointed you. This post is not about the famous and gorgeous brand, Louis Vuitton, it is about my Las Vegas trip.

Well, I assume most of you think I'm loaded, in fact I'm not even close with that term. Therefore, I'm going to show you my budget trip in Vegas this time. I got to save money for Coldplay concert and Cirque Du Soleil. Those tickets suck most of my money but it worth every single cent.

walking
See!!! I took public transport to airport instead of taking taxi. This save me US$ 30 (wink).

BCBG
My new slipper, I'm so in love with them. BCBG jellies for summer collection is comfy and affordable.

onboard
We flied with our Apple gadgets. By the way, I just ordered a Macbook! It's on its way !

onboard+me
Approximately 2 hours flight from Portland to Las Vegas.

Ok, pretend 2 hours is gone in few seconds. Thanks for your cooperation, we are here in Las Vegas!!!

airport
Slot machines are EVERYWHERE! Even in airport, pharmacy and 7-11. You will probably blew away by its conveniences.

As usual, check in in the hotel is the initial step. We booked a very down to earth hotel this time. However, I'm just happy-go-lucky to get a free upgrade due to my sensitive nose. The previous room that they reserve for us smelled funny! What I do is complain, in a polite way obviously, we are civilize people. Eventually, I get a better room without extra payment!

room1

room2

room3
Guess what, the room only cost me US$ 55 per night. No one can get any deal better than this in Vegas, I bet.

Sorry if this post does not meet your expectation. I'm super busy and totally lost track with my study after this trip. Give me 2-3 days and I'll show you an overview of my Vegas itinerary. Looking forward for more Vegas excitements on my next post.
