Las Vegas

A 4-day weekend in Las Vegas. Boo ya! It began Thursday at 4 o clock. Some friends and I headed out to Las Vegas to take a break from the traditional weekend at BYU. The drive down was long and uneventful but that was made up for in Vegas. We did alot of cool things but going up the stratosphere was probably the most memorable.

Friday night we decided to go on a few rides on top of the stratosphere. It was easy getting to it because, if Vegas knows how to do one thing, its accommadate people. They probably have as many car garages as provo has cars. This was nice because we found a spot easily and made our way into the stratosphere. At the bottom of the stratosphere we bought our tickets for two rides, insanity and big shot. We went on bigshot first which is alot like the rocket at Lagoon just not as big or fast, BUT it was on top of the stratosphere and we could see the all of Vegas which might have compensated for the lack of the other things. After the bigshot we went on insanity which is a ride that hangs you out in middair and spins you around like a cheap carnival ride. It was only cool because we were about 1200 feet above the ground which was a little intimidating but exciting. After spinning for what felt too long, I became sick and thought I would hurl. Luckily the ride stopped before this occurred. We jumped off and talked about how cool it was then went back down the elevator to ground level. We checked out the fountains at the Bellagio and attempted to see the volcano at the Mirage but it closed right when we got there. Then we just hurried home and went to bed. It was a good night.
