As the days grow longer and the temperature rises, summer emerges as a season of endless possibilities. It is the time when we can finally shed those layers of winter clothing and feel the soothing sun on our skin. Summer is a season that encourages us to dust off our bicycles, pack our picnic baskets and embark on a new adventure. Whether we are camping under the stars or enjoying a walk in the park, it provides endless opportunities to connect with nature. Summer gives us the opportunity to escape the daily grind and immerse ourselves in the wonders of the world. Summer is a time for families and friends to come together and create memorable moments and strengthen their bonds. Whether it’s a backyard barbecue, a family reunion or just gathering at the beach, summer provides the ideal setting for reconnecting with loved ones.
Summer is a time for spontaneity and embracing the present moment. Take advantage of longer days and make the most of your free time. Try a new hobby or read that book you’ve always been meaning to get to. The relaxed atmosphere of summer encourages us to slow down, recharge, focus on the things that truly bring us joy and create lasting memories. It’s a time to travel somewhere new, take an adventure, go to festivals, and live concerts, culinary delights and spend time with family and friends. Embrace the joy of summer and make this season one to remember.
PART I: Going to Las Vegas
As I am writing this blog post, I am packing for my summer vacation with family to Las Vegas. We have never been to Las Vegas before so this should be fun. Las Vegas is known for its atmosphere, entertainment, and dazzling attractions. We chose a hotel on the Las Vegas strip for easy access to the city’s main attractions. Las Vegas is known for its spectacular shows such as the Cirque du Soleil or a magic performance. There are also some other places to visit besides the strip such as the Hoover Dam and Grand Canyon so we might visit those if we have time. Of course, we will try our luck at the world-class casinos and immerse ourselves in the Las Vegas experience.
PART II: The Experience
The experience in Vegas was one that we will not forget. We stayed at the Caesars Palace which is known as one of the luxury hotel and casino in the Las Vegas strip. The architecture and design of Caesars Palace are inspired by ancient Rome, with grand columns and marble statues. The iconic entrance features a replica of the Roman Colosseum, with statues of Roman gods and emperors. Our room offered an amazing view of the serene garden of the gods pool oasis.
On the first day, we spent our day at the pool to cool off from the heat. Then we took a long walk on the Las Vegas strip and watched the Bellagio water show in front of the hotel. This is an iconic attraction located in front of the hotel includes choreographed water movements, music and light affects, creating a spectacular visual experience. The second day we had tickets to see the Grand Canyon and Hoover Dam. The trip was all day from 8 in the morning to 7 at night. We first saw the Grand Canyon at the skywalk and then went to a camp site where we can walk around and explore the canyon from up close and take pictures. From there we went to see the hoover dam where we went up on several flights of stairs and walked on a bridge where we can stand and take pictures of the hoover dam.
After the day trip we had dinner reservations at Lago restaurant in the Bellagio hotel. Lago is a popular Italian restaurant with stunning views of the Bellagio Fountains, offering a unique dining experience that combines delicious cuisine with a beautiful setting. We got two orders of the seafood mixed grills and two orders of the seafood platters along with salads and starters which was enough for our group of 8 people. The dining experiencing was amazing, and food was delicious. The restaurant also had professional photographers that offered to take pictures and print them out after we were finished with our food for purchase. Once we were done with our dinner, we tried our luck at the casino before going back to our hotel room and getting ready for our flight back to Boston.
