Las Vagas, NV, Death Valley, CA and Grand Canyon, AZ

Las Vegas is in the middle of nowhere, surrounded by the desert.

It's an island of fun, lights and strangeness. The bus ride towards Vegas can easily bore after few hours, but when you arrive at night and see the city flooded by sea of lights you definitely can tell it was worth it!

Vegas is just about money and fun. There are a lot of shows and attractions, but everything is so expensive. Gambling is always possible, day and night. The best moment to go out visit Vegas is at night, cause the sunlight kind of turns out the “magic” of the city.

We didn't go to any show, but we toured all the hotels, which are attractions by their own, and watched all the free-shows.

We gambled some $ with slot-machines, just for the fact to have done it!

While in Vegas we also visited Death Valley National Park and Grand Canyon National Park.

Death Valley is famous for having the lowest point under the sea-level and great quantity of salt in the soil. The shape of the landscape is very particular, in part due to volcanic actions and different colors are due to the presence of different minerals in the soil.

The Grand Canyon has origineted from the erosion of the colorado plateau by the colorado river.
