It took us weeks to finally find our way to this famous Las Vegas Sign. 

Kinda hard to go to if you don't have a private vehicle or if you're not willing to pay $8 for two hours hop on, hop off Deuce bus that ply along the stretch of Las Vegas Boulevard. 

We had to walk from Excalibur Hotel all the way here.

Several hotel stops and tan lines after, we saw the sign!!!!!!  BAKIT BA KASI HINDI USO MAGPAYONG SA AMERIKA!!!! I am not regretting all the tan lines pero kase. hahaha! 
And then when we got there, it was beside the airport.

Like, seriously Vegas?! haha. 'Cause actually when you look from somewhere outside the boulevard, it looks so small but when you try to sight see the whole strip? I think you'll be needing more than two days! Hey! I lived there for 2 1/2 months and yet wasn't able to go to all the hotels there but yea, have to take into consideration that I wasn't just touring there everyday. Wish ko lang pero ang anda. haha. Two times per week lang halos and then hindi pa lagi sa strip soooo. :)))


This was taken past midnight. 

That crazy night we walked from Fremont Street to Cosmopolitan Hotel which was around 11 miles. (Posting that too soon) hahaha. We wanted to properly say goodbye to our second home's welcome sign. </3

Until next time, Las Vegas!!!!! 



Just to give you an idea of how far we walked just to save on bus fare. 



From Excalibur (red), we walked to the Las Vegas Sign (blue) and back to Caesar's Palace's The Forum Shoppes (orange) to catch the regular bus back to the apartment. ahaha. 

Nakoooo, malapit lang!!!

What's at Red Rock?

Red Rock Canyon features a one-way 13-mile scenic drive, a Visitor Center offering information and interpretation about recreation opportunities, hiking and trails, wildlife, vegetation, geology, cultural resources and much more. 
Info Source


After Red Springs, we headed to Red Rock not to hike though but only for the scenic drive. 

As much as I like to post an informative article on this one, hahaha, I forgot all my geology and all I've read from the information board there. :)))

This was my first "taste" of the canyons. Hihihi. 

Oh the wide-open spaces that always have a part of my heart. After seeing a looot, I am still craving for more. <3
Thankful to have seen this in person! Amazebells.

Some people would be like, "O ano meron? Bato?"

Seriously? This landform is so amazing!!! I mean, consider the length of time it took for something this incredible ever changing landscape to form. Charuuu. hahaha. Pero seryoso, I won't replace a day trip with nature for anything. 
Model ang peg. haha! 
Bat ba hindi ako ready lagi hahaha
Don't ask my why I posed like that, I also don't know. Haha.

Pero mowdel. hahahhaha
Blogger pose. hahaha!

"Oy, 'yung kunyari hindi ako nakatingin."
One of the stops along the scenic drive.

I was hoping to see a tortoise but I didn't haha
Las Vegas air isn't polluted but this is still a breath of fresh air you know, not too away from all the commercialization and city life.

Anyhow, the red rocks are easily noticeable from the strip but I was still surprised that it was this wide. 


Ganda huhu
Panorama from the overlook point.
As much as I am willing to name this place, I couldn't search it.
It was in the map that was given an the entrance though.

Basta there are picnic tables here so bring snacks with you. hehe
Come to think of it, I don't have a jump shot for my whole three months there. ahaha! kasi fail. kasi ang bigat. kasi hindi makatalon. 

Hello there, Husky!!! <3
Installation art at the dessert.

Kung ano pa talaga 'yung malapit, 'yun pa hindi ko napuntahan. HAHAHA!!!

We ate our lunch here at Red Springs before going to Red Rock Canyon National Conservation Area. 


Not that easy to believe that this is just an hour (even less) away from the Strip. Las Vegas is known for its hotels and casinos so some still get surprised upon knowing that there are places like this there too... isa na 'ko dun. :))
Mt. Charleston area are those snow-capped mountains. Yup, they're near each other. Feasible for a day tour of "picture taking"
Eating lunch with that kind of background tho also with chipmunks and rabbits nearby. Feeding the wildlife isn't allowed! At ang, "Nako! Kung sa Pilipinas 'to, malamang inuwi na lahat ng rabbit at chipmunk." :> 

Madalas nasa tao talaga ang ikinagaganda ng lugar eh, dapat disiplinado lagi. Hehe
Some trek to those rocks where the Calico basin is but we only walked along the boardwalk and the nearby hill.
Think about your place in the natural world...
 Lush vegetation it is - thanks to the life-giving spring. <3
Million years ago... can't even imagine. So blessed to see this ever changing landscape. :3 The changes that had to happen for this whole place to look so beautiful. Mas maganda sa Zion. Hihihihi. Wait lungz. :D
Boardwalk is made to preserve the fragile ecosystem this area supports.
Scenic walk.
Along the boardwalk, you'd see information boards such as this.

I really like how organized parks like this are. There isn't any entrance fee here yet it's very well maintained. Pilipinas, tayo rin!!! Please?
Di ko alam kung alin ang mas matigas eh. Ako o 'yung mga bato? Char. HAHAHA!
We trekked the nearby hill to get a better view of the landscape.
And we saw this too. Ganda, noh?

It was the red mountains with lush vegetation vs. the dessert.
Dreamy.

I didn't search a lot about Nevada even if I know I was going there. Why? Hindi ko alam kung pano ko lalakwatsa. All I know was the Strip, Hoover Dam and Grand Canyon (na hindi ko naman napuntahan! HAHAHA!) Pero somehow, the universe conspired and made things happen. HUHUHU. Kaiyak please. #forevergrateful #travelnowpulubilater #pahingamuna

Truth be told, all these travels to National and State Parks? I definitely didn't see them coming before I left the Philippines. As in swear. Truth be told na nga, swear pa. haha!

So when I got there, I met up with my Ninang who told me that there's this mountain near the Strip that they go to because there's snow in that mountain. I was like,"OMG!! Meron snow dito?! :(" Ito isa pa, never ko in-expect na makaka-experience ako ng snow kasi ang alam ko, disyerto ang Nevada. Well, desyerto naman most nung nasa South.

Anyway, my ninang couldn't bring me there because of our conflicting schedules but I found a way/someone. Hahahaha! I thankfully found someone. HAHAHAHAHA. User level while in Las Vegas? Level 1 Million. Pero grabe, friends naman na kame 'yung kind of platonic love/friendship na #mayforever. Syempre if you don't talk to strangers, how can you make friends, diba? :)))) Will always be grateful to all those who've helped me while I was in the USA, especially to my two most special travel buddies. Hope we can have more adventures in the year 2017 - 2018. God willing. hihihi. 
This was taken at Spring Mountains National Recreation Area which is a ranger district of the Humboldt - Toiyabe National Forest. First feeling of snow in the air! So cooooooooold but the cold never bothered me anyway.

Copied from the USDA Forest Service Website, "The Humboldt-Toiyabe National Forest encompasses all of Nevada and the far Eastern edge of California. The name “Humboldt” comes from the explorer John C. Fremont. He named the East Humboldt Mountain Range and the Humboldt River after German naturalist Baron Alexander von Humboldt. “Toiyabe” is an ancient Shoshone word meaning “mountain.” So 'yung Fremont Street pala sa explorer din pinangalan.
At that point, who would've thought that I'll be able to see a lot of places there?! Huhuhuhu. Kakamiss!!!!!! Pero at the same time, ang galing galing... ng skills... ng convincing powers... ng budgeting?! haha!  
A lot of people go here for skiing and hiking. It was just that I wasn't snow-ready at all. 


The clothes I brought with me in the USA were actually not suited for the cold weather that I experienced last April-May. I expected that it will be hot but it wasn't that hot until late May. I mean, at some nights in our apartment complex we got 6 degrees Celsius (even lower) in temperature. Huhuhu. Kamiss!! :( 
This was taken near the cabin area and there was also a restaurant.

Mt. Charleston is only 35 miles away from the Strip.
One of my talents/gifts in life is map reading... always taking the longer (and more scenic. lol.) route nga lang. 
One of my many middle of the street pictures. 
"Uy, dyan kunyari nag rent tayo ng cabin."
We were supposed to hike to Mary Jane falls but turned back even before reaching 1/8 of the trail. hahaha!
Kaya pala snow cone kasi parang snow 'yung yelo talaga. hahaha! 
hihihihi

Hershey's Chocolate World is in New York, New York Casino Hotel. I'll post pictures of that hotel too.

We went here right after M&M's World. 
Hershey's Chocolate World is a tourist attraction where you can but different Hershey goodies (DUH), merchandises, and collectibles. Kinda reminded me of the Hershey store in Sentosa, Singapore only this is a lot bigger and better and farther. hahaha. 
You get to fill your own bag with different kinds of kisses for $ 6.95 per 1/2 lbs. Not bad I think since it's personalized and you only get those you want. 
Statue of Liberty made from chocolate. Huhu. Sana next time, makarating ako ng East Coast.:))
KISSES AND REESE.

I didn't buy anything there but I really wanted to return to have my picture printed on a chocolate bar wrapper. 'Cause they have this personalize your chocolate bar thing where you'll be able to have your photo printed with your special message on the wrapper. HAHAHA. I really wanted to bring one home for my mother but I didn't have the time anymore. But there will be a next time. Hihi. 
Buti pa this jowa, very understanding. haha.

'Cause for me and chocolate (and matcha)? #foreverexists
