02/17/2006: "Nevada and then Arizona"

I left LA on the 15th and headed towards the so called gambling capital of the world. I was there by noon. Las Vegas is exactly like i was expecting it to be. Big hotels, more glamour than one can imagine (or take) and minimum 15 dollar bets in all the big casino/hotels i visited. Bellagio was my favourite. It has the most elegant lobby I have been. Very impressive indeed.

Today Im in Arizona visting the Grand Canyon. The views from the top looking down are absolutely breathtaking. I dont think I have ever seen enything more spectacular in my life. The sheer scale is just so difficult to comprehend and its beauty simply cannot be described by words. Well not by someone that only scored a 12 in essay writing class in school. Back to the UK on the 21st. This is turning out to be the best birthday yet.
