My first few hours in Las Vegas were (surprisingly enough) quite pleasant: a last dinner with my fellow travellers, some free Casino Shows – what more could you ask for?

This initial excitement disappeared quite quickly again, though. Las Vegas is just too loud, too crowded, and too "artifical" for me. So, for me, it was ideal to spend just one last evening with my fellow passengers, before flying out to New York, and visiting some friends there.
