USA Roadtrip 2019 \u2013 Episode 10:<\/strong>
Finally, Las Vegas!<\/strong> <\/h2>\n\n\n\n

I had felt sick the whole night and when I woke up on the morning of our 14th day (26th January) in the US, I had diarrhea. I won\u2019t go into detail, but just imagine how annoying it was to carry this around Las Vegas, when the day finally came where I got to properly see the city. From Needles, it was only a 2-hour drive to our final destination, where Enrique showed me around Las Vegas.  <\/p>\n\n\n

One of the most famous buildings is the Venetian<\/a> on the Las Vegas Strip. Like most resorts there, it has a hotel and casino. As its name suggests, it has an entire area inside that looks like Venice. A canal flows through the shopping area and the sky looks almost real. It\u2019s truly a beautiful and magical place!<\/p>\n\n\n

Naturally, we couldn\u2019t leave Las Vegas without having lost some money in a casino. Luckily, on my flight to Las Vegas I received some vouchers, including twince 25$ to spend on the slot machines in Venetian casino. To be honest, we found the playing itself wasn\u2019t that exciting, because we were too lazy to read the rules and just pushed the buttons randomly. The machines also didn\u2019t seem to do a great job in communicating clearly what the outcome of each turn was. At least, we quickly realized what it looks like when you win some money and instead of spending it on the next turns we pushed the \u201cCash out\u201d button. That way we earned a grand total of just over 7$! I was happily joking that it\u2019s quite an achievement that we managed to make the casino lose some money.<\/p>\n\n\n

When the sun set, we went to the old part of the town, to Fremont street. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
