Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas... Maybe next time

And now about Las Vegas!
Hmm what to say... It's a special city indeed! Awake 24/7 and founded for entertainment! Very crazy!
We arrived Monday in the evening and went to our hotel in downtown Las Vegas on Fremont St - the 4 Queens (a hotel the danish girls we met earlier had recommended). The hotel website said you had to be 21 to rent a room, but we took our chances and it worked out just fine! When we had settled in our hotel we went for a walk to the famous Strip - the street where everything happens. It was a long trip considering we had been traveling for many hours! The city is not the best city to visit not being 21 years old because of the fact that most of the bars, shows, casinos and places to go are restricted to 21 and up, but we just walked by all the weird places, casinos, people that was keeping the city awake.  After walking for some hours we took the bus home to get some sleep. 
The day after, we started off by buying us some tickets for an acrobatic show called "Absinthe". It was pricey, but it seemed like everything in the city was pricey, so what the hell - we felt we had to see some show! We took the bus to the strip and went to a place called Gameworks - a giant Arcade with hundreds of video gaming machines. We played some of the old classics like PAC-MAN and some racing games. Very special indeed, but fun! We had the worst lunch ever - very very bad! And then we went to the acrobatic show. It was amazing! It was comedy mixed with acrobatics - they did things you wouldn't believe humans could do. After the show we went down the strip again - we met some girls that wanted us to join their party, but we were, as mentioned before, too young, damn it... Unfortunately, but we must come to the city again another time then!So we went back home high on the show, but disappointed about the age limit!We decided to leave early and go to the Grand Canyon with a tent that Francois and Rachael from LA gave us. 

Off we went the next morning!
