Good plans for today (June 7th), we were really excited to know a little bit more about Las Vegas. We had good breakfast in the morning (which is no surprise in a hotel!).  Las Vegas is huge, which showed us that the adventure was just beginning. For the adventurers, it was worth to go 1 hour away from where we arrived on the strip to get to know the “New York New York” stores, as well as the huge and amazing roller coaster. I was lucky ‘cause I was part of this group and I could enjoy all of that right before we left. I hope other people enjoyed it as much as I did!

        Time for a quick lunch (or we had to run for lunch, I should say); we were too late so we just ate while we were in a hurry on the tram. We all got home really excited to get in the pool, too bad for us, because the pool was closed until 4pm for cleaning (the same time we would be leaving again). Thus, that was free time for us to do whatever we wanted to. Some of us decided to take a nap, other ones just walked around and there were even those who decided to be the first ones to laundry (but the hotel didn’t even has washing machines hahaha). At 4, everyone got really excited to visit the tallest building of Las Vegas: The Stratosphere Tower. Nice and scary rides and panoramic views were the reason of excitement, also a huge dinner with unlimited desserts was waiting for us (huuummmm..).

Ready for the Big Shot

So fun!

          Later, most of the exchange students went to the Cirque du Soleil show, I didn’t go ‘cause it’s really not my thing, but I know they all had a good time, and I’m glad for that. We finished the day with no issues. We did well today, tomorrow is going to be even better, L.A, here we go…
