Shows 4 Las Vegas

GP ? asked:


ok heres another essay. this time about where you grew up:

Vegas, Sin City. Where all the action happens. The bright lights, all the people, shows, the strip. The casinos. That’s where I grew up. Well not exactly the strip, about 10-20 minutes in North Las Vegas to be exact.
There, it was frigid cold in the winter, and blazing hot during the summer. Temperatures would reach up to 120+ during the dog days of august it was terrible, and no one would really venture out of the comfortable climate of their homes. Home…
My home was a 2 story house, always filled with people and pets. 2 parents, 5 children, and a 4 pack of golden retrievers. Always running up and down the stairs, or in some cases, tripping over a dog or sibling and rolling down. If we tired of staying in, we would go outside and play if the weather permitted.
Outside, we would either wear shorts and a t-shirt, or be bundled up in winter coats. We would roam the streets of our gated community feeling safe and secure. Where we lived, we had a variety of things to do to choose from. We had an indoor swimming pool, a game room, and a private park. We were never bored.
Staying out of trouble was always hard for us. Every household had an average of 3+ kids and lots of kids always means trouble. At first, we felt out of place, being the only Hispanic family in a neighborhood with mostly African Americans and white families. After a while, we began to feel comfortable with all of our new playmates.
When we used to live there, “our” vegas was still developing. Most people don’t know that Vegas is really an enormous city divided in 5, smaller “towns” if you will. The North, South, East, West, and of course the strip. We lived in North Las Vegas. There were only a couple of houses old houses. Most were fairly new, and today there are still many more being constructed. The one we lived in was brand new in a new gated community called Saddleridge estates, and all the homes were new and beautiful.

I am not usually a fan of tomato soup but just had the best tomato soup in Las Vegas at the Tournament of Kings dinner theater show and am now searching for recipes. The soup wasn’t overly tomato and had flavors you don’t find in the canned varieties. It was also drinkable but not bothy.

Entering the town of Las Vegas, you wouldn’t imagine you were about to enter a twenty-four hour party. Jets of water spurt hundreds of feet into the air in front of the Bellagio Hotel, their graceful movements, choreographed to music, a lavish backdrop for thousands of tourists roaming the Strip where the city’s casinos are. Flashing fluorescent lights, buildings that seem to touch the sky, and the sound of people screaming as they collect their winnings. From the street, buildings, sparkling fountains, and dazzling lights, have obscured the horizon. Thousands of people are basking in the glitz and glitter of this city’s delight.

The fantastic atmosphere is all that many visitors to Nevada experience. There are people everywhere you look. The sidewalk is littered with flyers for shows, people walking the entire length of the Vegas Strip, and taxis, buses, and cars sit and wait in the slow moving traffic. At night, when the fluorescent lights light up the Strip, it is so pretty it’s like your in a different world. There is a wide variety of sights to see in Vegas, besides the hotels.

Las Vegas is a great city, it’s easy to fly into Vegas, spend a few days and a fortune without ever leaving the Strip. Though it seems as Las Vegas is always changing, the lights, sounds, hotels, and sights will always be a clear symbol of extravagance and elegance. I will never forget the magic of the city. Big city, big hotels, and big money! What more could you ask for. I am glad I went to Vegas, and can’t wait till I can go back.
