Want to live large? You could go to Dubai, Ibiza, or Rio de Janeiro. But if you also like drinking and gambling, go to Las Vegas. Las Vegas is a flashy city in the Arizona desert.

You can see many breathtaking things in Vegas. There’s an Eiffel tower, a Statue of Liberty, a giant pyramid, and even real canals with gondolas! However, before you go ask Elvis for his autograph, remember that it’s Vegas. Everything is fake.

I would like to live large when I was young but there was no economic condition to stand me that time.  In other words,  more was a kind of vanity in a worship. 



I haven’t thought the visiting Las Vegas .  it is so far away for me to think it.
