The Lights of LV

So I flew into Las Vegas last night and managed to stay awake...totally exhausted though! The airport is literally right beside the strip. I thought we were going to see it from a distance and then people were talking about it on the other side of the airplane so I thought I missed it. Suddenly there it was right outside the window! Thousands of colours and lights and shiny things. I saw the MGM grand all decorated in bright green lights, the Wynn, the fake effel tower, the pyramid hotel with a spot light shining into the atmosphere and lots of other money grabbing casinos and hotels. I then regretted not bringing my camera!

Well I went into the airport and managed to get onto a flight early so I didn't have to sleep then wake up again. I arrived in Pheonix at 1AM, 4AM (EST) but I had 3 seats to myself on the hour flight and crashed through that. Then I managed to find a semi quiet bench and slept for only 3 hours cause I was freezing my butt off from the air-conditioning. Plus the buzz of the airport was a little loud for me and I chose to sleep in an early boarding gate...how would I know?

So I sit here looking out onto the city thinking about how hot it must be there
(I think I heard 40Cish/105F today), how tired I am and about finishing homework. I am also thinking about how awesome it is to have free internet connection at an airport!!
