Traveling is something that almost everybody aspires to do, but not everybody gets the privilege to do it. Because of our lack of money and/or time, taking a vacation is always a treat. Fortunately for me, I had the opportunity to travel to Las Vegas, Nevada with my fiancé over spring break. Previously, the furthest west I had ever been was only to Phoenix, AR.
I am a very unexperienced flyer, and my fiancé had never been on a plane before, ever! So for the both of us, just stepping into an airport was all new terrain. The process was a lot easier than expected, but the coffee was extremely over-priced! The beautiful window-seat pictures we got, though, were worth it!
After landing in LV, we were scooped up by my two good friends Kendra and Kylee Wallace, and immediately went for lunch. My fiancé and I stayed for a total of about 4 and a half days, and not once did we eat anything but delicious food. Although much of our trip was spent relaxing and watching movies on the couch with our friends, the most vivacious of the pictures I had taken over the trip were the ones from “The Strip.” On The Strip, there are multiple ginormous hotel resorts and shopping centers that just scream luxury. It was quite a sight to see. I enjoyed every minute of being a tourist (even though we got lost for over an hour!).
I am glad to have taken this photo diary of my experience of Las Vegas. In my opinion, having my camera by my side, documenting most of the evening, enhanced my overall impact of the trip. I definitely recommend visiting Las Vegas with some close friends if you haven’t already.
