From San Francisco, we took another 1.5 hours flight to our next destination.. Las Vegas, Nevada. Our friend was able to get us a good deal & booked a 2 nights stay in Flamingo Hotel which is located in Vegas' famous strip. Since we couldnt check in to our hotel until 3pm & we wouldnt want to waste time, we decided to drive less than an hour from the airport to visit the Hoover Dam-- a concrete gravity-arch dam constructed during the 1930s situated between the US border states of Nevada & Arizona. We explored the dam for a little while & then drove back to the City. We actually didnt do much in Vegas aside from having a quick photo at the vegas sign & checking the strip in only about an hour or so because we went on a day-tour in Arizona the next day. We initially planned to watch a show in Vegas but we run out of time (and energy 
)-- but atleast we have a reason to come back in Vegas. And as what many people say, Vegas is a city like no other. And it wouldnt be tagged as a sin city for no reason
Just arrived in Vegas airport
Vegas is indeed the world's gambling capital because right when you arrived in the airport.. the slot machines are scattered all over
We grabbed some quick bite at a local fastfood chain called Five Guys. Among the burgers we tried in our trip such as In-and-Out, Mcdonalds, Shakeshack & Whitecastle.. Five Guys' burger is my most favorite.
Hoover Dam
A true marvel of engineering considering that it was built in the 1930s.
Just a few step away are the borders of Nevada & Arizona with one hour time difference. So you'll be in a different timezone in a just a few seconds.
Arizona border
Much love & respect to those who designed & built it.
Believe it or not this is a candid photo LOL
With my love
Our double-bed room at Flamingo Hotel
Love the Pink lighting of the bathroom. Plus it has its own TV inside.
Look at this happy boy
Dinner at White Castle. A mini-burger that literally melts in your mouth
Roaming around at the Vegas Strip
Casino after Casino after Casino
For a tropical folks like we do.. seeing a giant cactus amazes us
So that's about a short trip in the Sin City. Till we meet again, Vegas.
