The Learning Performance

Spending last minutes of July 2007 at 30,000 feet above sea level. I flied into Las Vegas in the early morning of Monday. The mind blowing experience was none than seeing the Grand Canyon up close and personal. The introductory documentary en route said Grand Canyon is God's sculpture. I would say it is so true. Next time, if you happen to be in LV, Grand Canyon is a must-see. Just pick up a brochure at the hotels that you're staying, and the tour info is there. It costs USD180 (tax included) to do the trip, and it takes 12-13 hours. On the way there, you will see the Hoover dam as well. LV is a desert town. Few miles out of town, the land is barren and very brown, quite amazing.

There are so many hotels in LV. All the famous hotels the like of MGM Grand, Caesar Palace, Bellagio, Venetian, etc, are all along this Strip. All the hotels have casinos, and other theme based attractions, all out to get your money. The shows are plenty as well.

LV is reeked of money and man-made pleasure, devoid of any characters and soul. I couldn't wait to get of the town. My next stop (and at the time of writing) is San Fransisco. Now, SF, to me, is the most beautiful city the world. But that is another story.
