So, as you all know now this girl has been to Vegas and she loved it :D When you drive in the desert for three days and everything is dry and dead it was relieving to find a place where there was civilisation. Although the people of Vegas is not what you would call civilised! Hehe. For those of you that don't know it: Everything about Las Vegas is a fake. This town is buildt in the middle of nowwhere for one reason and one reason only, TO GO CRAZY. There is sooo many casinos and free drinks and night clubs and money in this place that you cant help but smile, it's not like any other place in the world. We spent 3 nights in this notorious place, all in different hotels. First night at "Plaza" with was a cheap hotel located next to the Fremont experience. A bit dirty and not too interesting here, so we decided to move down town. The next night was spent at a hotel called Excalibur, which I know you all recognise from the film. Oh! What you all need to know is that the hotels in Vegas all have different themes. We have Venice and Paris and New York and Egypt and god knows what! Back to the point here, Excalibur was built as a HUGE castle where everything, down to every little detail, is fake. This was a nice hotel which was much more fun to stay in. The last night we went Vegas all the way and we stayed at ............ THE BELLAGIO!! I have never ever seen a hotel as fancy and nice as this and I enjoyed every single second of what it had to offer. Almost everything! I have picture of so you can see for yourself.
In Las Vegas there are tons of things to see if interested, they have lions and the MGM, dolphins and tigers at the mirage, sharks and so on. What you need to see if you ever go here is the famous fountain show at Bellagio, it is simply BEAUTIFUL. Never ever to be underestimated.
Of course we did some gambling, I learned to play the roulette and Craps and I left Vegas with 75 dollars for the "Gro is travelling and always need money" trust.
We went to a show called "Thunder from down under" with was important to see to understand how Vegas works. Hehe! I'm not going to explain about it but I am sure that if you are interested information will pop up if you google it;D
What I found out are two things:
a) Vegas is NOT a city, it's just a big amusement park,
b) Everything is fake
Oh! and C, this girl is going back!
Thank you all for following me and waiting for this update, it really means a lot to me.

Oh, I knew you were going to dig Vegas. It's such a surreal place, isn't it?
Glad to get an update from you, and I hope the "Gro is travelling and always need money" trust keeps growing...
Right now I'm burning down the house... Hehe... I'm making new "Trønderlapper" (the old, burned, torn papers for madam Bjørnov's show), and although the lemon juice contributes to a controlled burning of the paper, it smells awful... 6 down, 14 to go...
And ha-ha, this is too precious: I was contacted by a Danish journalist yesterday. "Phantom of the Opera" is re-opening in Denmark in January, and they wanted to interview me because I'm one of the biggest fans they've succeeded in digging up in Scandinavia... NO COMMENT!!
Tenkte jeg bare skulle si fra at jeg følger med deg Gro:) Moro å lese om alt mulig rart du finner på. Hehe. Jeg må si at du virkelig har gjort din reise komplett med å se alle selene som er med i filmen "Den utrolige reisen" ooog ikke minst fotografere deg selv sammen med SVAMPEBOB!:O Jeg bøyer meg i støvet. Las Vegas hørtes også veldig bra ut, bare ikke gå helt Ocean's Eleven for "Gro is travelling and always need money" fondet ditt så;) Når det er sagt.. Kos deg videre!
KusineKLEM!
(Janne..! WOW! Det får en si.)
ååååhhh... så staselig! kjenner at anne-jobber-for-å-betale-tilbake-alle-pengene-hun-skylder-i-hytt-og-gevær-fondet ligger og brenner i lomma. de sier jo at spilleavhengighet er en sykdom, betyr det at jeg kan dra til vegas og få sykepenger? hmm? smutthull i loven?
foreløpig blir pengene brukt på andre ting. turene til oslo har blitt litt dyrere enn beregnet, idet fartsavgifter, som jeg liker å kalle dem, deles rundhåndet ut mellom sørlandet og tigerstaden. det har generelt vært spektakulært dårlig bilkarma i min nærmeste omgangskrets i det siste. din kjære brors uhell (i flertall) har vel ikke gått ubemerket hen, ei heller mitt snasne avparkeringsuhell. og nå har sannelig mor gått hen og skrapt opp sin bil på SAMME vegg som jeg lagde skrubbsår på min. molands wall of shame.
men her er det ikke bare biler som får hard medfart. det er jo snø i lillehammer-heimstaden, så vi dro på aketur. jeg vil med en gang få si at enkelte kjelkedesignere burde få kraftig klaps på lanken. det var jo kjempelurt å legge en sånn skarp kant bakerst på kjelken. au. så nå ser jeg ut som en mishandla postordrebrud. veldig stilig til finkjole. julebord til lørdag. haha. men gøy var det lell, så her har du noe å glede deg til når du kommer hjem =)
kjempegøy å lese bloggen din, Gro! (og sitte og være superduper-misunnelig) =)
Haha, Anne - du skriver så underholdende. Fikk meg til å flire godt. Og Helle - hva gjør du foran dataen? Du har lappen, du har bil.... Kom deg ut!! Rån i vei!!!
