Un recorrido por los mejores hoteles del Strip de Las Vegas: desde la pirámide del Luxor y el castillo medieval del Excalibur, hasta las góndolas del Venetian, la torre del...

Third highest row

We actually wanted to walk to the Las Vegas Sign yesterday, but since it was already nearly 40°C in the morning, we postponed it to today. This worked out quite nicely, as the...

...actually almost part 3, if you count Reto's sports reporting 😉 But Las Vegas is just so amazing that it deserves at least three posts 😂 Our explorations of the Strip...

Entry into the USA in Houston was straightforward despite all the doom-saying, and once we were finally up next, it was quick too. However, the connecting flight to Las Vegas was...

Before anyone makes fun of my geography knowledge: yes, Las Vegas is not in California, but in Nevada. Nevertheless, we will continue to refer to it as our 'California vacation.'...

One should, if possible, visit Las Vegas during the week, as almost all hotels are significantly more expensive on weekends. While even the major luxury hotels offer affordable...

...but before that, we took a detour to the Valley of Fire on the way. It's not called that for nothing: the rock formations and colors live up to the name and shine in the most...

Our USA tour started with a three-day stopover in New York before flying to Las Vegas to start our tour of the West Coast of the USA. Our hotel, the Edison in New York, is in a...

Mi viaje completo de 6 días en Las Vegas paso a paso: hoteles del Strip, compras en outlets, boliches con entrada gratis (¡Steve Aoki y Tiësto!), show de NKOTB, F1 y el cartel...

Today we went to the mountains. More specifically, to Virginia City, an old gold mining town. We strolled around a bit and had lunch there. A bit of literary history in...

We were driving home from a play museum when Dad and I saw a lot of smoke. Then Dad said, there must be a fire. Later, we all looked out the window and saw the fire. We were all...

In the meantime, we've found ourselves in the real 'desert' (the Canadian one is a triviality in comparison 😉) and, much to Dad's dismay, we need acclimatization time again....

17.09. 24 Today we drive through Shoshone Indian territory again. But we don’t see any! We are moving steadily at almost 2000 m towards Nevada. Passing by Great Falls ...

Las Vegas 1/2

Las Vegas hardly needs an introduction - a synthetic city in the middle of the desert that lives off its hotels and casinos. We are more into nature, but we failed to find a...

Yesterday, alongside a fire alarm (to clarify: we were never in danger), there was plenty of programming scheduled. We went to Carson City and had a great time at the small...

Las Vegas 2/2

So, I'm slowly sobering up and can get in touch with you again. I hope you don't blame me for the long silence, but I'm back in Las Vegas and had to take advantage of the party...

From Los Angeles, we headed to 29 Palms, located about 250 kilometers away, where the landscape transformed into sandy deserts. This area is in close proximity to Joshua Tree...

On the drive to Las Vegas we passed the Hoover Dam, the largest dam in America. We got out briefly and got our first taste of the enormous heat here in Nevada. Afterwards we...

Not really happy about the assigned car at the car rental in Palm Springs and especially the fact that we couldn't fit our suitcases and bags into the "cool, sleek" Ford Mustang...

After a slightly longer break, we have finally found the pen and ink and can upload more entries. The USA is also known as the land of superlatives, and this is by no means...

¿Pensás que Las Vegas es solo apuestas y casinos? Te cuento mi recorrido por la ciudad de las luces sin tocar una ficha: hoteles temáticos, espectáculos increíbles, atracciones...

We were allowed to spend the afternoon/evening with John today. Wow, what a house... The girls enjoyed playing and Mama found a new colleague 😂. And I had another wow...

Robot fights have become a part of the American entertainment industry, much like monster trucks or wrestling. Since the Big Bang Theory, such fights have also gained widespread...

September 19-20, 2024 The car is gone. Fully convinced that we parked on parking level 2, we realize that our car is missing🫣 Thank goodness we check level 3 again, where we...

What a calmness here. The first time since we arrived here, absolute tranquility and slept through until almost 9 o'clock😅 Both of us were a little shocked. Then we had a...

In-N-Out Burger

After 23 years, I saw my host family again. Whether Pat dyed her hair violet just for me, I don't know. But it was lovely to see her and Mike once more. The kids surely had...
