The plane ride was different than anything I have ever felt. When I looked down below sometimes the world looked like a puzzle. Sometimes it looked like a map. My favorite part was landing. Gramps said we were going at 400 miles an hour, and I LIKE the speed.  It took forever to get moms luggage from the bag check. And we walked too long to go see a Circus Circus Act.  But when we did get to Circus Circus I did like the act. Then we went back to the Mirage and got our room. Then we went to see Zarkana. There were some danger acts and some weird stuff. Then we went back to the Mirage and crashed.  Since we stayed up for 22straight hours, you get the gist,  we stayed up too late.  Today we were slugs.

We went to the Secret Garden at the Mirage.  We got to see white lions, white tigers with black stripes,leopards, and dolphins.  There was a leopard in the tree resting with his paws just hanging down while he was resting.  Then we drove to theGrand Canyon.  We got to see the Colorado River and it looked frozen. Then we went top hike, but it started lightening.  So we took a bus back to the village.

Yesterday, we rode the bus to the Grand Canyon national park and then we went to the tip of the canyon and saw a group of condors.  Then, it started to storm, so we took a hike.  Then, we took a bus out further and saw some pretty cool view.  Storms started up again so we took the bus back to the visitors center and got some food just as the storm started. Then we took the bus back to our car.

While traveling to Vegas we crossed the dessert. Let me tell you there isn't much to see.  
So the desert is pretty boring. It goes for so long and don't see any other living thing for so long if you see a bird your like holy cow it's a real bird!

When we got to Las Vegas you can't see everything at once. At the Mirage it was pretty but it was disorienting with all the slot machines and everything but we managed. The place had about 4000 rooms not including suites. It also had a huge pool that even had a fake waterfall. We were on the 21 floor. It had a great view

The first night we rode a tram to see Cirque de soleil Mystere. It was very cool and funny but there were also very dangerous stunts. Then we saw a fake volcano explode and you could feel the heat from 20 feet away.We the saw a water show at the Belagio.

The next day we went to Freemont St. And saw the Queen show. Afterwards we got our picture with Darth Vader and Chewbacca. Then we went to the real Pawn Stars shop.

This morning we went to the beach at first the sand was soft and deep the as we went to the water it was finer and packed down. The air was salty and the waves sounded like thunder. There was a lot of fog visibility was at most 15-20 ft. The waves were about      

10-15 ft. High.
