25 Sep-2 Oct
After having done some last preparations, I left the beautiful Ensenada and went to visit my relatives in Los Angeles. The cultural change was one more time enormous, as although the two regions are so close they are totaly different.
For practical purposes me and my cousin Michael decided to visit Las Vegas the next day I arrived. The experience I had is difficult to describe. I have never seen such Resorts in my life. Everyone of them was a world by itself, the one more amazing and beautiful than the other, producing a unique feeling to anyone who visits them. We stayed a couple of days at the Imperial Palace (Chinese-style) located at the center of Las Vegas Strip. It costed us a rediculously low price (20$ per night) and with a similar amount we ate at the famous World Buffet of Real Hotel which offered food from 8 countries. Such low prices are possible because of the "cross-financing" from the gambling, which we did a little with no success.
We started from south and walked all day long to the following resorts: MGM Grand, Mirage, Mandalay Bay, Luxor, Bellagio, Ceasars Palace, the Venetian, Paris, New York-New York, Wynn Hotel and Circus Circus. Everyone is a masterpiece of its own but one is distinct for its special "deep" quality, architecture, the originality of its culture and the air of "THE Resort of resorts". It is the glorious, almost devine Bellagio Hotel. Its elegancy, not being a copy of any other culture, is unique. No other hotel can achieve its imperial character, making it like a palace of a modern emperor. Even the new Wynn Resort, which was the next I liked, lies far behind.
Finally, some technical information: the old "Sin City" controlled almost exclusively by Cosa Nostra has turned during the 70's to a new World Entertainment city, where 15 of 20 biggest hotels in the world are found. The most creative and efficient developers of the US are now owners of these structures, including Kirk Kerkorian, Steve Wynn and Sheldon Adelson. Only in VEGAS baby!
