The Trip - Day 3

Today it was time to leave San Francisco. We had a great time there, but it was time to move on: Las Vegas was the next stop on our trip.
After having been delayed for two hours, we took off to the City That Never Sleeps.
Completely different weather over there. A choking 36 Centigrade, humidity below 10%, got me a pair of irritated eyes, but what a city this is! It is hard, if not impossible to describe.
Two limousines were waiting for us at the airport, ready to take us to the Venetian.

After having settled in the hotel, we had to take off to the restaurant to have diner.
After that, we had an hour to walk around, because 10pm the Cirque du Soleil show "O" started. We had Front Row Seats, and like the city we're in, I am not going to even try to describe what an overwhelming experience this show is. Very, very spectacular, wet (our ticket showed "wet seat"...), over 90 minutes of great visual and physical effects. Take a look at the video here to get an impression (it is not by me, too dangerous hanging around with a camera on the front row...)



After the show we went back to the Venetian. We walked around on the second(!) floor where you can find some kind of "replica" of the Venetian style...

This is actually on the second floor inside the Venetian...

It is 1:30 am now, time to go to bed. Tomorrow we will have our last day of our stay in the US. Hope to meet you then!
