My Trip to Las Vegas

I can't remember the information I need to sign into my cousin and I's blog, so I will blog it here. I got back from Las Vegas this last Sunday. First off, I brought my big new tube of toothpaste with me, forgetting it has to be travel size, so that got thrown away at the security area of the airport in Fresno. When we got to Vegas airport, the first thing we see are casinos:P
Next, we had to go get our rental car which was a cute small Hyundai. It was very nice, except that the clock on it was an hour later than it really was. My mom wanted us to go eat at the Tournament of Kings at the Excalibur Hotel and Casino. The only problem was that we were supposed to be there at 6, and the clock on the car read 6:05, so we were in a big rush. We were on our way when Grandma asked someone what time it was while we were stuck in traffic because we didn't think there was a time difference even though our car clock did. The man told us it was about 5:30. It was a ton of weight lifted off our shoulders:) We got to the Excalibur with plenty of time to spare, and we ended up having a HUGE BLAST!!! It was so neat watching the different countries doing their show. My favorite part was when all of the countries teamed up and defeated Dragon.
(thank you Aunt Tracy for telling my mom about the Tournament of Kings!!!)
After, we checked into our hotel which was very nice.
The next day, I had to go to the Orleans Arena for my cheer competition. We got a little lost, but found our way on time. First, I had to compete with the Youth Team, because one of their girls got sick, so they asked me, because I'm short :P to fill in. There was about a 2 hour gap in between the Youth performance and the Senior's performance. So, my mom took us to Paris!!!
Paris was neat, especially seeing the miniature Eiffel Tower and Arch Du Triumph. I liked walking underneath the Eiffel Tower and seeing the roof painted like the sky.
After going to Paris, we went back to the competition and I competed with the Seniors. We didn't do too well the first day, because we were in LAST:( out of ten teams. After competing, we went to Treasure Island for dinner. We went to a restaurant called Khotan there, and it was delicious!!! I <3 Chicken-lettuce wraps :)
After dinner, we went out to the patio of the restaurant and watched a pirate ship battle. It was really cool. The last thing we did that day was visit the Cirque Du Soleil Mystere gift shop. I ended up getting a Cirque shirt:)
I definitely have to say Treasure Island was my favorite place to visit!
The last day, I competed again, and the Youth team got 6th. FOR THE seniors, we had some difficulties right before we went on with one of our teammates but we still went out and did our best. We went from 10th place to 6th place!!! Our score was even high enough to place and CVC Seniors even got a trophy! Right after competing we had to leave to catch our plane. All in all, I'm glad I got to experience being a cheerleader, but I am SO GLAD CHEER IS OVER!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I loved Vegas, and hope to visit it again.
