Las Vegas

03/1997
Angelika We spent my birthday in Las Vegas. We were given a trip to Las Vegas as our wedding gift. It was pretty exciting to be there again after 10 years because we met there for the first time. Many things have changed in Las Vegas but the car rental company where we met was still there. Plus we were both very touched when we stood in front of the door of 'Brooks rent a car’. We took a photo using the automatic release.

Figure [1]: 'Brook’s rent a car’ – The car rental service where we met 10 years ago - still in business!

Las Vegas is definitely a crazy city. It’s all about gambling and the casinos become more and more gigantic. We were quite impressed of the new casino 'New York, New York’. The skyline of New York has been built up, even the statue of liberty wasn’t missing. We didn’t win on gambling but unlucky at card means lucky at love, right?

Figure [2]: Nope, it’s not New York, it’s the casino 'New York, New York’ in Las Vegas.

Figure [3]: Casino Frontier: the employees are on strike because they feel exploited and call on German tourists to boycott the casino
