Near the end of October, my parents told me that we were going to Las Vegas to spend our holidays. They then told me that my cousins Ava and Abtin would be coming too with their family. My parents didn’t want to go gambling though. The only reason they wanted to go is because my cousins were going there to see some fancy Iranian concert. We however went to a different hotel, because we didn’t really want to see the concert. Wait… ISN’T AREA 51 LOCATED IN NEVADA! I’ve got some aliens to kidnap and some top-secret government societies to break into! On December 24 on Christmas Eve, we arrived at our hotel: Treasure Island. Most of the lobby was basically a gambling place. We then waited 80 minutes in line to check-in. Like, either work faster or hire more staff. IT’S THAT EASY! Then we went for a walk around the area. THERE ARE SO MANY HOTELS! Anyways, after I ate a pizza piece twice the size of my face. (From this Italian pizza place called pizza cake) we continued our walk. Then we watched this lovely water fountain show thingy. Then Christmas music played and it was interesting. Then we saw Gordan Ramsey's “Hell’s Kitchen” restaurant and went back to our hotel. On December 25th, my parents took me to the hotel Circus Circus so I could go to the amusement park inside. The adventuredome amusement park. Why does it take 50 minutes of waiting in line to get a simple order from Starbucks? Anyways, I went on El Loco and Canyon Blaster. Two different and very fun roller coasters. I also went on a bunch of other rides and got two souvenir pennies. Then me and my parents went to the Venetian hotel to go on a gondola. Also, the roof of the mall’s top floor, (where the gondolas are located) looks like such a realistic sky. On December 26th, I saw Abtin and Ava for the first time in three years. Ava is now 15 and Abtin is 10. Unfortunately for our parents, me and Abtin are the two most mischievous children on this planet. We went to this Mexican restaurant called Senor Frogs. I had a burger and fries. And of course, I finished with Churros. Then I went to the hotel to hang out with Abtin and we took a selfie together with the famous musicians right before they left. On December 27, Abtin andour family went to the STRAT skyscraper. It has 130 floors. And I thought treasure island was crazy for having 36. We went to the 112th floor to visit the “On top of the world”' restaurant. Then I was so tall that I could touch the ceiling when I jumped. Abtin was so jealous. So technically, you could say, I’m so tall, I can jump to the ceiling of 112 stories. Mwahaha. Since this is a “luxury” restaurant it costs $70 just for a pork roll. Then it took two hours for the food to come. Abtin started whining like the child he is and took my phone and started playing video games on it. Like, come on! Why do I always have to babysit Abtin!? He literally has an older sister. I NEED BABYSITTING! I CAN’T EVEN GO !) MINUTES WITHOUT MY PHONE. Speaking of which, “ABTIN! Give me back my phone! I have needs!” Anyways finally the food came andAbtin stopped being an annoying child. Then this man sitting a couple of tables away from us proposed to his girlfriend. Everyone started cheering and my dad, (not knowing what was going on,) yelled, “happy birthday!” Wow. Just wow. On December 28th, I went and explored the other areas of Las Vegas. We checked out the Egyptian and New York City replicas in Las Vegas. Then I saw the most beautiful thing in my entire life: a huge red roller coaster. The screams of adults filled the air. I had to ride it! So I begged my parents to let me go on the roller coaster. They bought me a ticket for the Big Apple Coaster and were like, “okay, bye, have a nice life, we’re not coming.” Adults can be such scaredy cats sometimes. I made two new friends while waiting in line. Serene, 13, and Skylet, 11. They’re sisters. We basically talked for the entire time while waiting in line. And luckily, we got to ride together. Then the announcer said it was a 200-foot drop. But then I remembered that this strange place with this thing called, “the imperial system,” is different from the metric system. So it’s only 50 meters. Math. So much for being on winter break. Then it was inane! I had so much fun. It was worth the $19! On December 29, it was our last day and we had to rush to the airport. Unfortunately, my parents told me we can’t drive to Area 51 and break-in and beat up the security. I’M COMING TO SAVE YOU, ALIENS! SO YOU CAN ABDUCT RUDE 8TH GRADERS! And when I searched it up on google maps, it said there was no way to go. YOU’RE HIDING SOMETHING GOOGLE! And that concludes my trip to Las Vegas.
