Las Vegas, an oasis of lights in the desert

LV, open your eyes and ears, the show will start!
After a few months away from it all, we plunge into a bath of light, music, noise and crowd. Children, are stunned.

LV, the city of temptations, our greatest folly has been the extended outage at the store M & M's where the four small Aubertein not know where to head before the giant columns of colored chocolates. Everyone will come out with a bag of M & M's.

We ascend by night the famous Las Vegas Boulevard, commonly known as The Strip, as it could (and we may still!) to leave his last shirt after losing everything in the game
Casinos, Hotels disproportionate and increasingly luxurious attractions for adults, reproductions of cities, shows .... opulence and excess are the watchwords of the city.
In one evening, we even visited Paris, Venice, Manhattan ... since the time that Thomas wanted to see the Eiffel Tower, it's done!

Las Vegas alone requires a dam over for its power supply. Remember, we're in the middle of the Mojave Desert in Nevada. "Hoover Dam" was built about fifty kilometers from the city.

We stay three days in a surreal camping in the city among building. Obviously we are the only tents. Around us, the RV are all more massive than each other. The tents space is tiny, on gravel and surrounded by palisades. Bits of grass exist but are reserved for first class RV sites. We do not play in the same court ...

It's been long since we have not cycled, so we thought to go ? Subsequently, we imagine along the Pacific coast on Highway 1. We have about one month prior to San Diego where we expected for Christmas, enough time to cover the distance San Francisco to San Diego at Cycl'aubertein's speed.
And between Las Vegas and San Francisco? airplane, helicopter, boat, car, bus, bicycle, among this wide range of choices, we decide for the bus.
