Arriving into Los Angeles at 2:30am I had to try and find somewhere to hang out and hopefully sleep. I made my way into the station and walked around - on the ground I found 2 x $1 bills the second time in 3 days I have found money. I found this seating area where there were loads of people from homeless to drunks sleeping, I found a spot and then nodded on and off for the next 4 hours. Every now and again a security guard would drop around kicking the homeless people out and asking to see transport tickets. Morning came and it was time to board the bus to Vegas, I got lucky again and managed to get the front seat on the second deck of the bus giving the perfect view the whole way. I sleapt most of the way and arrived about 45 minutes early. Sean arrived with a nice big sign saying Turkey haha what an arrival. He gave me a quick tour of outer Las Vegas and gave me an idea of how the city has been layed out. We went back to his house and relaxed for a few hours before heading out to the strip. His Parents house is a huge two story Suburban home with ginormous rooms and living areas, out the back a huge beautiful backyard with a pool, water features, entertaining area, bar and softball batting nets. This is exactly what I imagined American homes to be like. We called up some of Sean's friends and organized to meet them out on the strip. We arrived to the MGM and straight away I noticed the sheer size of the casinos and buildings - mind boggling big (far from what you would expect) we went to the Luxor and seriously the pyramid was almost the size of the pyramids of Giza, the Sphynx likewise - they really have brought the whole world to Vegas. We continued on stopping at various cafes, casinos and hotels. All kinds of people come here to do whatever they want with out people judging them - this making for an interesting vibe. It was still early so we wondered the streets watching street performers and talking to random people. We met up with Sean's Mates and continued on to the Belagio- checking out the incredible water fountain show, mind boggling to music and sound effects. No expense is spared in this place and like Sean says "this city wasn't built on winners". People are unfortunately quite rude here compared to the rest of USA- they are in their little worlds. Our final stop was Ceasars Palace a wonderful casino
