At first the buildings were small , peering through my "Super motel 8" room, but as I got closer they got bigger and Bigger and Bigger, to the point I had to look straight up to see the building. Then I thought to my self to, "I'm in Vegas, Sin city".
As I looked through the dark door waiting for my parents to come out the car. "There it is, New York, New York, Hotel and Casino". We were parked in the garage of the hotel, but could still here the faint sound of the casino through the door. As I walked down the hall way I caught by the corner of my eye, a sign that said Zumanity. I thought to myself," I bet I'm to young to go to that show" (I turned out to be right). I could tell the anticipation on my parents face to gamble. It felt like I was walking I'm slow motion. I could feel my heart betting," Don Don, Don, Don". As the sound got louder so did my heart beats. Then we were inside and all I could say was "Wow". Since I was to young to gamble or even touch the machine, I had to walk on this little red path that cut the casino in half. Since I was to young to gamble my dad and mom took turns watching me. My dad ended up having to watch first, I could tell he was kinda disappointed.
He asked me " Where do you want to go first?". I replied by pointing my finger towards what looked like in a distance and mini town. I squinted my eyes closer to see the area more, but there was a lot of people in the way. When we got closer it turned out to be a mini New York City suburb. The townhouses were actually store like, Starbucks, Cold Stone. The detail in the buildings were magnificent! The townhouses were two story's with cracks and wore down walls. And if you look closely at and an ally you could find a eating area that looked like french or Italian cafe. The one I found was surrounded by high walls with beautiful paintings inside. There was a special beam of light that made it look majestic. You could smell the aroma of pizza walking down the pebble road with rows of town houses with street names like wall street, Oh did I mention wall street is a giant slot machine! All I could say was," Oh my Buddha". When we went around the other side to a ESPN station there was ALLOT of T.V.s that were stacked rising to about 20 or so ft. There were rows of couches that looked like they were for couch potato's. It was like a movie theater only showing sports. After seeing the beautiful town we decided to see a greater view of the city by seeing the observation deck on the Empire State Building. When we went there it turned out there was none (even though the real one does).
Since the arcade was right in front of us I asked my dad if we can go ( the arcade is suppose to be like ConeyIsland) but when we got up there, the first thing I thought was " Its quiet... To quiet". there was no one in the arcade! So we were walking around when my dad broke out and says, " Hold my keys" I was thinking, " don't embarrass me please". My dad didn't embarrass me alot, He just broke dance in front of a couple of people. Will they clapped and cheered, My jaw was dropped in amazement, thinking" how can some one his age do that, but not me?" . He was spinning on his back really fast and when he got up I speed walked away. I ended up at the coaster, Were you had to pay almost 20$ just to get on!When we went back down stairs, we were waiting for my mom in central park. Next to the bridge, Which the lake under it was dried, Was a mammoth of a size slot machine and of course my dad leaves me to play the slot machine.
As soon as my mom came back I told her about the mini suburbs and the first words that came out of her mouth was, " Steki" which is beautiful in Japanese. We just walked around town with Starbucks in our hand. Not trying to look like tourist.
When we got back it was time to leave, which sucked and i moaned, " Ahh........" all the way to the elevator. We walked down the same Zumanity hall when I thought," Schnitzel, I forgot to take a picture!". I ran outside and snapped a picture, but it was blurry so I never got a picture sadly. As we left I waved good by to Vegas and said hello to a very long ride to San Diego
