A Marshallese in Las Vegas


     A friend of mine from Thailand and I from Marshall Island was in Las Vegas City last year and we had a great time. It was our first time to see this famous city which we hear from friends that it a gambling place and a sin city! My friend who lives in Salt Lake City wants to come over to visit Vegas before both of us returns back to our own country. When we came from the airport in the evening by car we saw many tall fancy beautiful building and we saw lots of fancy signs along the roads and it crowded with people. My friend stayed at a motel call Riviera and it's a nice motel. Coming down from the room to the casino area we saw it was crowded with people gambling. On our way out we saw these statues of ladies naked butts in front-door wall of motel then I told my friend this is why they said it a sin city!  It was surprising at first when we saw it, and was hilarious because we begin to take photos of us with these statues of ladies. We were able to go up to the stratosphere tower but we were too scared to get in the ride because we were like thousand feet up from the ground. The fountain of Bellagio show was beautiful alone with music played on the background. One thing that we were really not comfortable with is on the street it was crowded with people and employees for companies that pass out these dirty cards to people. We had no idea what those card were, but one guy handed us a card and first we thought it something they want us to buy from them. Totally wrong! I cannot believe my eyes when I saw the card with naked women on it. Well I confirmed to myself that oh boy it is a Sin City! We had fun going in and out of each big fancy building of Las Vegas, and we walked everywhere from Riviera Motel to Mandalay Bar Hotel. My feet were so tired and in pain because I was wearing flat sandal instead of walking shoes. We shopped a little and played games at New York Hotel and walked back to the motel. It was an adventure.
