Part 5: First full day in Vegas

July 5th was the day when three of us took the entire day to stroll down The Strip. We went in about eight different casinos to look at the creative designs and decorations inside and outside. We passed by many dancing water fountains and creations. The Miracle Mile Shops Mall was amazing at Planet Hollywood! They had a beautiful Urban Outfitters on the outside and many other shops like American Apparel and H&M inside. The mini boutiques were worth walking into as well. Aside from shopping and the entertainment, we lined up at Le Village Buffet in Paris Hotel Casino from 10:00 am to 12:00 pm.  I just know that every time we visit Las Vegas, we just have to stop by this buffet for some reason. My parents seem to be huge fans of it. I myself, am not a real, or true buffet fan on the other hand. I can't handle them. One plate suits me well and then I stop and stare... at whoever continues on three or more plates. Okay I'm kidding. I don't stare, but I do sit there and feel like I'm a waste of money for buffets every single time.

The three of us walked for a total of nine long hours in the heat from casino to casino. Those Old Navy sandals really didn't support my feet well enough because I had a ton of blisters by the time I went back to the hotel. By the way, on Monday, all three of us slept at 8:00 pm. You would think that that time is super early, but it felt like 2:00 am to us after walking so much and not taking the trams and buses. We also had to sleep early because we had to get ready for the Grand Canyon tour the next day, in which the company asked us to meet in front of the T.I. hotel at 5:55 am sharp. Nothing kept me up because there was no cable to distract me. At first, I was a little bit confused at this crazy idea of no cable in Las Vegas. Then I thought about it again and remembered that it was Disneyland for adults in Vegas after all, so having no cable was supposed to "correct."
