In 1991, my Mother and I traveled to Las Vegas, Nevada, where my mother's sister lives. We visited lots of Casino's and even went out into the desert to hike. I plan on going back there again someday.
The Casino's were some of the most beautiful places I've ever seen. The carpet in most casinos, have a floral type design with lots of colors. There are slot machines and video poker machines everywhere in the casino. Most Casinos" have an enormous arcade with every game you can think of. One Casino had virtual rides; they were miniature theaters with about ten seats. The one I rode on was a virtual roller coaster, we sat down and these huge fans that you can't see turn on and on the screen you see the roller coaster like you are sitting in the front car, as the movie is playing the seats move and jerk around like you were really on a roller coaster. It's a pretty wild ride. At the end you run into a wall, it scares the hell out of you. There were two other rides like that, one was a train ride that goes crazy and ends up falling off a cliff, and the other is a super fast sports car that goes on a wild ride and gets a flat tire at the end. .
Most of the Casino's have very nice restaurants and buffets. The Circus Casino was a good example of one. They have a huge buffet there, about 10 rows of food. My Uncle took us there one night to eat and seven of us were able to eat the buffet for $26.00 all together. The food there was great. .
We visited about 8 casinos. One of them had two huge white tigers. Another had a pool with dolphins. The MGM grand had a volcano that really spit out fire. We watched a duck get toasted that was swimming in the water when the volcano erupted.
The Desert part of Las Vegas was pretty cool too. There were millions of different species of lizards and snakes I've never seen before, that me and my cousin had fun playing with and chasing. They have an old shooting range out in the desert that my Uncle took my cousin and me to, and we shot off a lot of the guns that my Uncle collects.
