Romantic Las Vegas?

LAS VEGAS!

What comes to mind? Casinos, clubs, strippers...... The last thing that you would think about is how romantic this place is. Yet, romantic was exactly my experience.

I went to Vegas over one year ago with a bunch of lovely exchange buddies and my awesome boyfriend. We had a blast travelling all over the West Coast. When we arrived at Vegas, I was not sure what to expect to be honest. I'd heard about all the crazy things that happen here from movies but was it going to be as crazy/hectic as everyone said it was going to be? Nope.

The reason why I feel that romantic is the word to describe my experience in this one hell of a place is that there are special gems here. You have to go and find it, and not stay in your hotel casino for the entire stay...

The key location which was unbelievably romantic was the Bellagio hotel's water fountains. Every hour or so, there will be a water fountain display which moves in line with some romantic classical music. It was splendid. I have not seen a water fountain display as grand as this before and it was a wonderful sight to behold.

Here's a little clip for a taste of the scene. But my camera is pretty poor quality and it really was one of those "you had to be there" kind of moments to truly understand the perfect-ness of the moment; everything seemed so perfect. It helped that the man that I had been searching for all my life was right there beside me.




I think what made the display so much more dazzling was that the background and surroundings was like it was from a magical land. Everything in Vegas is as you expect, bright and shiny. There was a brightly lit mini Eiffel Tower just behind the water fountain and some other special, colourful, dazzling things all around.

That moment was really special.

Make sure to visit this spot when you go to Vegas! It is so underrated, everyone just goes to Vegas for the things it is famous for, but in fact, there are so many other little gems.
