I just got back from a week long trip from LAS VEGAS, with my mom and brothers. We visited my grandparents and uncles.

We visited the Excalibur. It’s a giant castle. There is a casino, an arcade,  and a midway inside. We played some games at the midway. I got a stuffed rose, and my brother got a plastic sword.  We played  in the arcade long enough for me to get a big sour pixie stick (to share) and my brother to get some tattoos. We walked to strip a little longer, seeing the Luxor.

It was so hot, the next day we bought an inflatable pool. we set it up in the backyard, and cooled off in that. It  was 113 degrees outside! we also went to Texas Station, and ate a buffet! There was SO MUCH FOOD! It was like 10 times as big as Home Town Buffet! Not to mention, it had a dessert bar! HOW COOL!

At night, the next day, we drove to Buffalo Bill’s in Primm NV. There is a roller coaster there. It does not  go upside down, has no picture, is steel, sort of jerky, 95 miles an hour, with a 225 foot drop, it’s DESPERADO!!!!!  It was fun, but 8 dollars a person. I got a smashed quarter from it.

There was also a log flume with a twist. You take a peaceful ride down a river in a log, while SHOOTING TARGETS!!!!!!! It is a shooting game and a log ride mixed! at the end, there is a big drop, but you don’t get soaked! I thought that was a cool idea.

Also at Buffalo Bill’s, there was a candy store. (Woo Hoo) This candy store had an interesting way to make us buy their candy.  If you buy five dollars worth, you get to write on the wall! Every September they paint over it. There was Sharpie all over the walls and the only rule, is that you can’t use bad words. My brother and I got to write on virgin wall because there was no other space. I wrote my name, my age, my city and state, the date, and my website www.zairabear.com in 5 different colors!!!!!!!!!!!! I also drew my heart symbol. My brother just wrote his name. My mom wrote that she loves all her children.

We went to Peter Piper’s Pizza with my mom’s friends the next day. It is like Chuck E Cheese. There I met J a 6 year old little girl. She is my mom’s friend’s daughter. We got pizza and 35 tokens each. We played in the arcade and crawled around in the playground. I got over 300 tickets!!!

After that, we dropped off my brother’s and picked up my uncle CJ. We went to the Stratosphere!  CJ and I went up 1000 feet in an elevator moving 21 miles an hour, while my mom and her friend’s stayed in the casino. We could see all of Vegas from up there! It was amazing! The first ride we went on was XScream.  It is like a teeter totter that lets you slide off the side of the Stratosphere! It was cool. then to ride INSANITY!!!!!!!!!! You are sitting and spinning over Vegas with nothing under you! It feels like your flying almost! It was SO much fun!!!!!!

The next day, my mom, my brother’s and I went to Circus Circus. We saw really cool circus acts. we even got to go on the stage to take a picture with an awesome juggler, and no one else did! We played in a giant midway, where my brother got a guitar and I got a bear wearing a circus circus sweater on him, that I named Vladamir.

Then we went to Fremont Experience.  We walked around and saw cool stuff. We also ate at another buffet. My mom showed us where she grew up and where her and her Dad’s old business was. We also saw Chip and Dales handing out Mardi gras beads. It was e=fun! We left just as the light show was starting, but saw it  from the road.

We had a GREAT trip to Vegas!
