[17 A\u011fustos, Tanju] Las Vegas s\u0131cak ve kalabal\u0131kt\u0131. kumar da oynam\u0131yorsan ve garip taklitlerden (tarihi eserler, an\u0131tlar, \u015fehirler) ho\u015flanm\u0131yorsan cazip gelecek fazla bir \u015fey yok. Bizim de as\u0131l hedefimiz California yolunda soluklan\u0131p do\u011fru d\u00fcr\u00fcst bir otel odas\u0131nda uyuyabilmek ve gece vakti me\u015fhur Las Vegas Bulvar\u0131n\u0131 (yani Strip'i) g\u00f6rmekti.<\/p>
Grand Canyon'dan \u00f6\u011flene do\u011fru \u00e7\u0131kt\u0131k. D\u00f6rt saatlik bir yoldu. Las Vegas'a yar\u0131m saatlik mesafede Hoover Baraj\u0131nda durduk. US 93 yolu \u00fczerindeki Mike O'Callaghan-Pat Tillman Memorial k\u00f6pr\u00fcs\u00fcn\u00fcn yaya yolundan y\u00fcr\u00fcyerek baraja bakt\u0131k. Hava 43\u00baC idi ve bu s\u0131cakta ayr\u0131ca baraj\u0131n \u00fczerinden ge\u00e7meyi bekleyen ara\u00e7lar\u0131n kuyru\u011funa girmeden yola devam ettik.<\/p>
Las Vegas'a saat 4 gibi vard\u0131\u011f\u0131m\u0131zda termometre\u00a045\u00baC'yi g\u00f6steriyordu. Caesar's Palace'ta kalacakt\u0131k. Ben valizleri ve di\u011fer aile fertlerini check-in i\u00e7in indirdim ve otelin arkalar\u0131ndaki oto parka arabay\u0131 b\u0131rakt\u0131m. Resepsiyona gidebilmek i\u00e7in zemindeki slot makinalar\u0131, rulet masalar\u0131, di\u011fer oyun masalar\u0131 aras\u0131ndan dola\u015fmam gerekti. IKEA'da dola\u015fmak gibi bir\u015feydi, daha par\u0131lt\u0131l\u0131 ve g\u00fcr\u00fclt\u00fcl\u00fc.<\/p>
G\u00fcne\u015f bat\u0131\u015f\u0131ndan yar\u0131m saat \u00f6ncesinden Stratosphere adl\u0131 kuledeki Top of the World lokantas\u0131nda gittik. Bu 244 metre (800 feet) y\u00fckseklikte d\u00f6nen bir lokanta. B\u00f6ylece \u015fehri hem g\u00fcnd\u00fcz g\u00f6z\u00fcyle hem de gece \u0131\u015f\u0131klar\u0131 ile g\u00f6rebilecektik. Ger\u00e7ekten gece \u00e7ok \u015feyi \u00f6rt\u00fcyor. Yemekten hepimiz memnun kald\u0131k. Kulenin en \u00fcst k\u0131sm\u0131nda yar\u0131s\u0131 bo\u015flukta d\u00f6nen sal\u0131ncaklar, \u00e7elik kablo ile zemine serbest d\u00fc\u015f\u00fc\u015f gibi atraksiyonlar var ama biz cesaret edemedik. Yemek yerken s\u00fcrekli olarak pencereden a\u015fa\u011f\u0131ya \"d\u00fc\u015fenleri\" g\u00f6rd\u00fck.<\/p>
Daha sonra Bellagio'nun \u00f6n\u00fcndeki havuzdaki m\u00fczik e\u015fli\u011findeki su ve \u0131\u015f\u0131k g\u00f6sterisine bakt\u0131k. Bu da g\u00f6r\u00fclmesi gerekenler aras\u0131nda say\u0131l\u0131yordu. Fena de\u011fildi ama ben Dubai'deki Burj al-Khalifa'n\u0131n \u00f6n\u00fcndeki havuzda \u00e7ok daha b\u00fcy\u00fc\u011f\u00fcn\u00fc g\u00f6rm\u00fc\u015ft\u00fcm. (Sunilik a\u00e7\u0131s\u0131ndan Las Vegas ile Dubai aras\u0131nda bir paralellik var.)<\/p>
Sabah Yosemite \u00fczerinden San Francisco'ya 12 saatlik (plana g\u00f6re) yolumuz oldu\u011fu i\u00e7in odalar\u0131m\u0131za d\u00f6n\u00fcp yatt\u0131k ama yine de saat 11'i bulmu\u015ftu.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
