Las Vegas in 10 pictures. Part II.

Hallo meine Lieben,

I hope you are all having a wonderful week. It is time to share some more pictures of our recent trip to Las Vegas. You can find part one of this post here.

Number one.



I guess that most of you know that I am not a fan of the gun control law in America (there's not much control)  but it was interesting to virtually shoot a fugitive in the Mob Museum. And I was pretty good at it. The guy had no chance. But I won't go and buy a gun now.

Number two.


We saw this on our way to Area 51 and I am pretty sure that this is an UFO. I mean, what else could it be?

Number three.



This was a fascinating experiment at the National Atomic Testing Museum. We just could not figure out how it works. It will remain a mystery. 

Number four.



Stephanie from meet.make.laugh., they named a street after you! Isn't that nice?

Number five.



We were inside the Hoover Dam and there was water running down the walls. I am scared of water. So no surprise that I look a little worried in this picture. 

Number six.



You can see it in my face: there was too much water for my taste. What I love about Hoover Dam is that it is an hour later when you cross the bridge. You are in Arizona then. Very interesting for a German girl who only knows one timezone. 

Number seven.



David with his Alien Burger in the Little A'Le'Inn in Rachel, Nevada. My fries did not contain any alien meat. 

Number eight.



Advertising for a wedding chapel. Pretty cool. You can see me in the picture too. 

Number nine.


The A'Le'Inn really is in the middle of nowhere. The town is called Rachel and only 98 people live there. I mostly saw some wooden sheds. Quite nice. Who knows how many aliens are hiding in there. 

Number ten.



These are the Forum Shops at the Ceasar's Palace. Quite impressive for a mall. They also have a nice mixture of shops there. A lot of stuff I can't afford and don't even want to buy (Christian Louboutin, Chanel etc.) but also Sephora and H&M. A really huge H&M by the way. 

To be continued....
Have a lovely Tuesday!

  9. Love your pics! I could not ever go near a dam like that though. I'd be panicking and hyperventilating. You're braver than I am!!

  11. Your Las Vegas trip looks like so much fun! When I hear the words Las Vegas I only think of all the gambling places - but it's so much more! Love the pics, all of them :) Maybe I should add Las Vegas to the places I definitely need to see some time!

    Ich drücke Dich noch Mal gaaaaaanz feste :)

  12. Ysy, more Vegas pics! :p I bet being inside that dam must have been terrifying!

    And as for street names, I find it pretty odd that they let you name a section of a road after you, haha. When David told me about it, I thought he was joking.

    1. Yeah, that dam was a bit terrifying! I was scared that it could break!
      I would love to have a street named after me, I would totally move there. :)

  13. Las Vegas is like Disneyland for adults, right? By the way Caesar's Palace also has an escalator which goes up in a spiral - that is also something worth noting as it is not all that common.

    I didn't get to see lots of the area around (only the freeway from Los Angeles) but what I found most hilarious was a freeway exit marked as Xxyyz (seriously, it was something like that). It took me all my willpower not to stop the car and turn around in order to see what was there ;-)

    1. Yeah, that is exactly how it feels like. All the time I thought that I am not in the real world.
      Oh no, I missed that escalator! I did not know about that! It would have been great to see it!
      Haha, I guess I would have wanted to stop too! I have never seen anything like that!
