Las Vegas is the lazy day crazy night city. It's like a ghost town during day time and all kind of ghosts exist at night. Heaven or maybe hell for gambler. Around half way from Los Angeles to the Grand Canyon. Pretty close to Hoover dam and Death Valley national park. An excellent place for one who love night life. Cheap but nice hotel and reasonable seafood buffet. You can have fun here if you can control yourself not to donate too much money to slot machine or gambling table.
     Just one and a half hours, you can visit Valley of Fire State Park. The strange look of reddish rock and dessert high temperature attribute this name to the park. There are lots of interesting rocks structures here; Elephant rock, Incredible balance, Small arch, etc.
     From here, we can see the artificial lake created by the Hoover dam. This dam attracts some Thai politicians to study how the dam operate during the day and study how to manage national budgets at night back in a Las Vegas casino. God save my country!!!
