Las Vegas part 6

We went back to Vegas last Oct 27-28. It was my 6th time in Vegas, and still there were a lot of things I was able to see and do. Here is a list I posted last August:

1. watch 'The Producers' to be staged this fall at Monte Cristo hotel.
2. go up the Stratosphere and ride one of the rides at the top
3. gamble and leave Vegas richer.
4. rent a helicopter and go to Grand Canyon (after number 3).

Unfortunately, 'The Producers' will not be shown until January next year. But I was able to go up the Stratosphere tower found at the end of the strip which provides a good bird's eye view of the whole strip. In there, we rode Insanity the Ride which spins passengers over the edge of the tower which is more than 1000 feet from the ground! It was the best ride ever.

I also was able to accomplish number 3. Unfortunately, it was not enough to do number 4. I only won 16 USD in the slot machine. It was the first time I was able to control myself before ending up losing what I won.

We also went to see Madame Tassaud's wax museuem. Later at night, we went to the famous Studio 54 night club at New York, New York hotel. We were able to get in to both places for free because of a friend's connections. There was actually a looong line in the night club but we did not have to go through it. I felt like a VIP.

Here are some pics of the thrill rides and the strip.
