So it might be a couple months late, but hey, better late than never! Around Christmas time I had the wonderful opportunity to go to a friends wedding in Vegas (where their family was) and get to explore the city a little while we were there!
It was really neat stepping off the plane and seeing palm trees and cacti on the taxi ride to the resort, the landscape there is unlike anything I had ever seen in Canada or Europe.
Everyone had prepped me for Vegas being a crazy, loud, and very bright place and boy they were not kidding. The place I was staying at was a few miles off the strip – something I would recommend to people who aren’t looking to party 24/7. I did enjoy the Vegas Strip, but more for the novelty of it.
My favourite part of the city I ended up going to was “downtown” on Freemont street. The vibe there is a bit more relaxed and it feels a lot less tourist-y something I try and avoid.
What a fun city though! We saw a show, explored the different hotels, saw the fountains, had some great food, and enjoyed wonderful company. To top it all off, it was a beautiful wedding and not what one would think of when they hear “Vegas Wedding”.
Enjoy the pictures of the magical Las Vegas!
Until next time!
