Casino at Luxor Las Vegas

Das könnte durchaus ein guter Songtitel sein, ich muss bei Zeiten fast mal googeln ob da schon mal jemand auf die Idee kam. Dahinter steckt in diesem Fall aber viel mehr ein ganzer Haufen Gefühle... Gefühle des baldigen Abschieds, der Sehnsucht nach der Heimat, der Erleichterung über den erfolgreichen Trip mit dem alten Wohnmobil, und und und

Nach einem Minifrühstück bei schon knapp 40 Grad verließen wir Twentyninepalms und fuhren viele, viele Kilometer geradeaus durch die Mojave-Wüste in Richtung Nevada. Wir entschlossen uns absichtlich für die Pampa-Route um so endlich mal für uns zu sein ;). So ging es 3 Stunden durchs Nirgendwo mit tollen Panoramablicken.

Jordan and I took and early morning flight from San Fransisco to Las Vegas, and since I'm not a morning person, I only just about managed to get through to the gate, with all my belongings. I slept for the entire flight, from before take-off until and completely missed all the scenery. We were picked up by our hostel shuttle, which turned out …

I don't remember what I expected Vegas to be like before I went, what I do remember is that upon arrival any expectations I had were completely shattered. When planning from travel guides, keep in mind that you've only been shown a tiny slice of any given destination. Outside of that, there is a lot of the mundane, the unspectacular and sometimes, …

12:20 pm local time: So we're staying another night in Vegas because we are so far ahead of schedule. We are currently deciding on what to do tonight. We'll keep everybody posted with pics and stuff later.
Last night was awesome. This place is so over the top and ridiculous. We walked down the strip and were bombarded with everything the strip …

Well today was our last day in the fabulous Las Vegas, we woke with mixed emotions really, a rather strange feeling. We were devastated that our time in Vegas had come to an end just as our colds were starting to life but also excited to get the the Dominican Republic! We rang down to check in to enquire whether a late check out was available, our …

..once we got on the road to Las Vegas we immediately realised this area is going to look totally different to what we'd seen at the West Coast. Pure desert which we imagined to equal as freaking hot. Nevermind, we were so stoked to get into Vegas and as soon as we saw the first lights of the big city we almost couldn't hold ourselves back anymore …

Nach dem Frühstück wollten wir den Staat Utah so schnell als möglich verlassen. Die Aus- war wie die Einfahrt in den Zion NP spektakulär. Die Interstate 15 brachte uns Las Vegas – DER Entertainment-Stadt schlecht hin – rasch näher. Unterwegs erreichte uns ein SMS eines Langenthaler Kollegen, der sich zufälligerweise in Vegas aufhielt. …

We decided we couldn't leave the U.S. without experiencing it’s fastest, brightest, flashiest city which more than any other epitomises the American dream and ideals. Vegas! Where for relatively reasonable prices (excluding the inevitable extras) anyone can experience the ultimate luxury and indulgence in some of the world’s best hotels …

Vandaag zijn we op tijd opgestaan om de Hoover Dam te bezoeken en daarna richting Las Vegas te rijden. De Hoover Dam is gebouwd in 1921 tegen overstromingen, irrigatie, watervoorziening en om de steden rondom van elektriciteit, te voorzien. De gangen plaatsen in de dam zijn net een kustwerk, marmer, tekeningen,... Vanaf de opbouw is de dam als …
