Day 70 - Grand Canyons & Las Vegas 2

The days starts with us waking up at 5am and almost missing the bus that was to pick us up at the hotel. Luckily we reached it in time. There we headed to the imperial palace, the travel agency's HQ where we got on a bigger bus to the grand canyons. The tour takes a total of 16hours. 14 hours of travel 2 hours of actual grand canyon time. We had a choice to walk along the canyon to the pick up point, but instead we decided we would just go to the many look out points near the bus so we won't get lost and get left behind.

We then got back on the bus and it headed to the pickup point. We had an hour to look around, so we did just that. Got myself some souvenirs. The grand canyons is a very majestic sight. It is almost indescribable. Then we heard a talk by the park ranger about the california condor and then headed on the bus back to vegas. If you fall in the grand canyon, a rescue will cost you. It won't be free. Note that the grand canyons hae no railing to prevent you from falling over the verticle side, so you have to be careful yourself.

we arrived back in vegas at about 10pm. and we catch in the sights of vegas at night. Sadly we missed the water show at the bellagio, but the paris hotel is quite fantastic. The hotels here are like worth billions of dollars. There are so many casinos. Even patrol stations have the one armed slot machine. It's quite insane.

We then headed back to the hotel at about 1.20 am.
