First night in Las Vegas

Okay, so we arrived in McCarran, picked up our luggage, and bought a ticket to Travel Lodge hotel near the strip. Seeing the confusion in our faces, the butler (yes, even the shuttle bus stand has a butler in tux) joked, "Don't tell the cabbies that this is your first time in Vegas!"
Shuttle Bus no. 3

So apparently, our hotel is located near MGM, and exactly beside the strip. After checked-in, we decided to buy some dinner nearby, but all we found was casinos, grills, hotels, and shops. We wanted to take-away something simple, like pizza, maybe?




One thing in Vegas, beware of these "cosplayers". Yes, maybe they look friendly, and seeing our Asian face, they immediately spotted us and asked, "Hey wanna take a picture with us?" We didn't have time to response and my dad just handed his camera, and we started taking photos. After that, with no surprise, they wanted a $20 tips. What the? This is a blackmail! This is a scam! My dad just gave them like $15 and after we got away, we learned a valuable lesson: don't make eye contact with these people.

I'm sorry the photos are very blurry, cause I used my shitty phone camera to capture this. I didn't bring my Canon X2 cause my hand was still injured when I went home to Indonesia. Yes, loads of excuses, bla-bla-bla. So we came across this Pin-up Pizza, near the hotel in the Vegas strip.






Whoa I have never knew they have this huge slice of pizza in US. But the food in US are mainly grills, sandwiches, pizzas, and other junk food, so we couldn't complain much. We ate the pizza in our hotel room while we were watching Sochi Winter olympic on the telly.
