Just got back from my trip to vegas yesterday. It was amazing, I did a lot of cool stuff and saw some incredible things. I've traveled to a lot of places and Vegas is def. in my top 3.
While I was there I did - Skydiving over the grand canyon, White water rafting on the Colorado River through the grand canyon(Favorite part of the trip), Skywalk at the G.C., Jet skiing on Lake Mead, Rented a Ferrari for a night and one day(Not as fast as I would have liked but still badass. The first one they gave me was pretty beat up and the CEL came on while I was beating the crap out of it on a cruise with some other people that rented - Two vipers and a 68 GTO). We also did some off roading in a Hummer on the way to the Grand Canyon. We got a flat tire in the middle of nowhere, it was a PITA to put that spare on in 110 degress in sand.
We also did a tour of the hoover dam which was incredible. It's pretty amazing that they could build something like that in the 1930's, imagine what we could do now. I drove the second Ferrari to the hoover dam, amazing roads and great views, not much more I could ask for.
The rest of the trip was spent in Vegas. I gambled a good amount and actually did alright. I wasn't keeping numbers but I think I broke even. Won 550 at Bellagio and 370 on a dollar slot machine in the Stratosphere.
Well onto the pictures - If you have never been there, you must go!!

Pictures of the Grand canyon are on another camera, I'll get to them eventually. Oh yea and the cars out there were rediculous. I saw two Saleen S7's racing down the strip and thats when I just stopped paying attention to the the cars, it was to much for me.

Yea thanks it was awesome. Skydiving was scary as ****. First time I went. The tandem guy I was attatched to had to push me out of the plane. Once we were free falling it was amazing

lol so uhhhhh where the picts of all the bitches? they dont call it sin city for nothing.........

Hahaha they didn't allow pics. I have a stack of cards of naked bitches, at your room in 20 minutes or less.

Yea work hard, play hard. I just turned 21 right before the trip so I figured I would have some fun.

Yea they are moving really fast. We drove by while going to the grand canyon and came back later for the tour. In 2 days they covered at least 20 feet.

Yea the first Ferrari was beat up pretty bad, haha i'm sure I added to that as well. The white water rafting was amazing, is was like 95 degress out and the water was 45 degrees. Class 7 rapids, and the most amazing landscape I have ever seen. It was cool being at the top of the canyon (4000ft up) and then being able to look at it from the bottom. Our tour guy was cool to, he showed us a couple of sick waterfalls we had to climb to get to. Then we went into a little cave from the 1920's where surveyors were looking to build the dam. At the bottom they picked us up in a helicopter and did a quick tour and then took us to the top where the Hummers were.

Ferrari was supposed to be 1100 for the night/day, I ended up paying 800. Mile limit was 400, I did 399.4

thats it? that sounds extremely cheap, the rentals i seen were 50 miles a day. do they have a moniter to see if u beat it up or not? im guessing it was paddle shift?

Yea it wasn't too bad. There were monitors but I had a hook up from a friend of a friend so I had no governors on mine. That yellow viper had some t/c on it that couldn't be turned off. First one was a 6 speed, second was paddle shift

Tahiti - It was pretty nice. Nothing special, we traded our one week in cancun for one week here, and another week still undecided.
Vegas is struggling economy wise, there were a bunch of hotels/condos thats were half way done but are now bankrupt. No construction was taking place. There was brand new houses right outside vegas for 299 a month
