Vegas. I've been sitting here for awhile, wondering just how to sum up Las Vegas. I'm not sure if it can be done. Vegas is...exactly what you think it will be. Vegas is loud, Vegas is extreme and Vegas is, well, pretty flippin' fake. But Vegas was also a lot of fun. Vegas was exciting. And, in it's own unique way, Vegas was also kinda beautiful.
Las Vegas has never been somewhere that's featured on my list of places to visit. I've just never been that interested - I'm not one for staying indoors all day, for artificial light and all night gambling. When I thought of Vegas, I thought of plastic and tack. But, we really needed a holiday and we really wanted sunshine. Mr. O was also pretty keen to do something a bit different, a little bit wild, to welcome in his (shhh, whisper it!) thirties. So, going on big recommendations from lots of friends, we decided that this was the time for Vegas. And, just to settle my nervousness, we decided to spend half our time there, before taking a hop, skip and a jump to Miami (somewhere I've always wanted to go - well, ever since I learnt all the words to the Will Smith rap...oooh misspent teenage years!).
So, where to start? We had a fun packed holiday, exploring and eating. Maybe the next few posts will inspire your next travelling adventures!
