You know your in Vegas when...

  • You can play slot machines at gas stations
  • You can do drive through weddings
  • You loose track of time because none of the shopping malls and casinos have windows
  • Your eyes start twitching from all the flashing bright lights
  • You have a five minute walk from Paris to the Egyptian pyramids and you pass New York on the way
  • Everyone says good luck at the end of a conversation
  • Billboards advertise breast implants with monthly payment plans
  • You can't find a single supermarket on the main street because no one actually lives in downtown Vegas
  • Parking is free everywhere, just to get more people into the casinos
  • You can buy a 2L margarita
  • At night you have to close your curtains in your hotel room to block out the neon lights, to tell you body its actually night time
  • The hotel buffet is open 24 hours
  • You can go on a roller coaster ride inside the lobby of your hotel
Las Vegas was an amazing city to experience. It is a city that never sleeps and we found ourselves stumbling home after shows, casinos and bright lights at all hours of the night. It was to our surprise that all the famous wedding chapels were lined up on a run down street next to abandoned strip malls. We are happy that we didn't plan to have a shot gun wedding here and instead opted for a beautiful beach setting. We had both pictured the chapels to be situated amongst the glamorous casinos. It felt like the little white chapel had not been renovated since Elvis married in 1967...

We might not have won big enough to keep traveling for another year, but at least we did not blow the entire travel budget on cards and slot machines. Thankfully we can continue traveling as planned for another three months.
