Visiting Las Vegas (3)

Las Vegas, and generally the State of Nevada, is not just about gambling and other so-called adult entertainment. Not that there's anything wrong with them. You can enjoy every other thing that you can imagine. That's why I'm planning to go again and I'm neither a gambler nor a smoker! These two seem to be the things that people enjoy the most in Las Vegas and probably the rest of Nevada. Not to mention alcohol and prostitution, of course. 

One of the interesting places that we ran is this military-motivated(!) place called Battlefield Vegas. I don't want to get to the whole argument of gun control and mass shooting that the US has been facing for years but Americans loved this place because there's a shooting range, store and outdoor display. make sure you check this place out, even if you're not a shooting fella! They have nice stuff, and their outdoor display is interesting too.

I have been wanting to buy a nice M-65 jacket for years and haven't been able too. These guys didn't have it and told me to check a surplus store in the city. We didn't have time for that.

Photography is another hobby that if someone is into it, they could find lots and lots of places to take photograph. There is everything from nature and architecture to people and food! Not to mention great restaurants. We unfortunately didn't have time to check many restaurants, rather than Gordon Ramsey's Pub & Grill and Urth Caffee but it will certainly be in my next trip's list. In fact, I would like to make this list for my next trip, which I hope I can make it again next year, although it might seem excessive:

1) Go to Gordon Ramsey's Hell's Kitchen. Booking might be needed.

2) Watch a Golden Knights game. This should be interesting as the arena is fairly new. So is the team! 

3) Go up to the tower and probably have a coffee or a meal there. I think early morning and night will both be good times.

4) Have one or two hikes and photography in nearby regions. 

5) See one of the shows.

6) Go to Frenchman Mountain.

7) Go to Valley of Fire State Park.

It shall take as low as $500 out of your account only! Add to that the cost of flight, hotel, transportation and gifts you'd buy for your loved ones!
