Stanislaw Barszczak— Rome I move to Las Vegas—
This time I opened up for something new. We went to Las Vegas to the Grand Canyon. Now I want to tell you about the miracle of view, the only place in the world. Grand Canyon National Park (called the Grand Canyon National Park) – national park located in Coconino and Mohave counties in northern Arizona, USA. It was created in 1919 and is one of the oldest national parks in the U.S.. The total area of the park is 926.66 km ² (1 902 miles ²). His area includes the Grand Canyon – the turn of the Colorado River, considered one of the natural wonders of the world. The region around the Grand Canyon was first protected by the federal decision of President Benjamin Harrison, November 20, 1893, which established the region’s forest reserve. President Theodore Roosevelt on Jan. 11, 1908 year due to “extraordinary scientific significance, as the largest natural canyon in the United States” established in this place a national monument under the name Grand Canyon National Monument. Over a decade later, on February 26, 1919, Congress transformed the monument in the park. President Herbert Hoover wanting to enlarge the area protected by the December 22, 1932 was again established Grand Canyon National Monument as a national monument adjacent to the existing park. In turn, in 1975, doubling the area of Grand Canyon National Park to include the second national monument to Grand Canyon National Monument. In 1979, Park was UNESCO World Heritage Site. The establishment of the Grand Canyon National Park has prevented the construction of the dam on the Colorado River, which eventually formed in its upper course, as the dam Glen Canyon Dam, which flooded Glen Canyon Lake Powell has created an artificial. Most visitors arrive on the southern edge of the canyon, following the way constitute the 64th The road reaches the southern entrance to the park near Tusayan. Our route is the way to the Las Vegas and Hoover Dam. Grand Canyon is an area of air on a special basis, with designated areas, where flights are banned, and areas where the minimum flight altitude is valid. These rules were introduced to reduce the noise and pollution in the area of the park. However, I allowed myself a helicopter ride along the Grand Canyon. I managed to fly in Canyon for $ 187. There was a time that we were at the bottom of the Grand Canyon, around the brown rocks could be 40 meters or more high, we sailed the Colorado River. I was at the helm. After the flight the helicopter came to me Russians, we had only moments of pleasure to talk about a far away country, my country, whose fate has been linked in the past with great Russia. Today Grand Canyon National Park, the nearly five million visitors each year. Found here nearly 12,000 years of history, announces the date of the Paleo-Indian period. Grand Canyon is truly a unique place. Life abounds in the canyon, Colorado, and even along the rim. Even people who inhabited the area for at least the past several thousand years. Grand Canyon is also a great storehouse of the past, both from the depths of time captured in the canyon’s rock layers, as well as more recent past, included the location of the rat … Love is like rain, can nourish from above, pouring happy couples shower. But sometimes the angry heat of life today love dries on the surface and must nourish from below, with a tendency to maintain their roots live, “said Paulo Coelho in his poem ‘By the river Piedra I sat down and wept’. It seems to me that the Grand Canyon (the brown rocks reaching tens of meters high) stands as a last resort salvation for the love that even should be nourished ‘from below’, this space presents unique national park, which kind of torn roots. Somewhere at the bottom of the murmur het undertow continues to Colorado River, but on the other hand if the glazed terrace of the gulf we see the air floating in between two steep banks of the Grand Canyon, which is still hidden, only attests to the richness of this land recently. In the town of my youth, in Zabkowice there are so-called ‘stoneware’ rocky gorges, from which the stone mined in the past. Near the lime-kiln is still standing. It occurs to me now the name for the land of mine, “a small canyon”.
I tell you about today’s Las Vegas now. I was the last good country, it is in Las Vegas. On November 28-30, 2010 I played in this town, lived at “The Riviera”. I don’t talk so much here. I mean, I always lost my life, we but all must fighting. In Las Vegas pulled from the affairs of God, people are looking for smaller values and unique entertainment. People are much easier to forgive others of their being bad, like that tend to be good … Being a Christian means to forgive the inexcusable, because God has forgiven inexcusable in you. “To Err is human, forgive divine.” A man must be clear, I suppose.

For several days in the year the temperature may even exceed 46 ° C. Winters are generally cold and windy.

He would like to welcome here anyone who expects one moment of relaxation and luxury, but not everyone can afford it. It is worth noting that Las Vegas has seen live only fifteen percent of Americans, reflecting the high thresholds, which makes the city before the tourists. This is a place for the chosen ones who walk in the Strip may feel in your hair and enjoy a breath of freedom to think they are gambling in the biggest cave in the world and the place where no other for a long time does not catch up when it comes to the world of entertainment. Because all roads lead to Las Vegas … From Las Vegas I still did not forget the garden of cacti…With all the beauty of the Las Vegas the most remembered, however, only place, the Cesars Palace. Some time after, my friends and me met at the first dawn to go to this Palace, where they hoped to find only light here. The road was rather long. It was really a wonderful sight. Meanwhile, the party walked on, the road widened out and became resplendent; and, at the end, the Temple of Light stood on a crystal height, shedding its beams around. We were almost asleep when we reached the shining steps. I was very proud of the compliments which Light had paid us. Suddenly, we found ourselves in a dazzling azure palace. Here, all was blue: the light, the flagstones, the columns, the vaults; everything, down to the smallest objects, was of an intense and fairy-like blue. There was no seeing the end of the palace; the eyes were lost in the infinite sapphire vistas…The great doors turned slowly on their hinges. There was a distant music: it was the sounds of the earth. A red and green light penetrated into the hall; and Time appeared on the threshold. We went through any number of rooms. We had first to pass all the lights known to Man and then those which Man did not yet know. That is the Light of the rich, anybody said. “You see how dangerous it is. People run the risk of going blind when they live too much in its rays, which leave no room for soft and kindly shade.” I have only my brightness, which Man does not understand. Never forget that I am speaking to you in every spreading moonbeam, in every twinkling star, in every dawn that rises, in every lamp that is lit, in every good and bright thought of your soul. I liked Light best of all. Where’s her lamp? Can we light it? Looking round me again I say once more: Goodness me, how lovely it all is and how glad I feel!… Caesars Palace is a luxury hotel and casino located on the Las Vegas Strip in Paradise, Nevada, an unincorporated township in Clark County, Nevada, United States in the Las Vegas metropolitan area. Caesars Palace is owned and operated by Caesars Entertainment Corp.. Caesars is located on the west side of the Strip, between the Bellagio and the Mirage. Caesars has 3,348 rooms in five towers: Augustus, Centurion, Roman, Palace, and Forum. The Forum tower features guest suites with 1,000 square feet (93 m2) of space. On May 26, 2009, U.S President Barack Obama performed in the Colosseum in the one-night show A Good Fight alongside Sheryl Crow, Bette Midler and Rita Rudner to fundraise for Nevada’s senator Harry Reid re-election campaign. Several streets were closed and the Augustus tower being blocked were among the security precautions taken by the Secret Service during the visit. Building of the 14-story Caesars Palace hotel began in 1962. It is called “Caesars” and not “Caesar’s” because every guest is a Caesar, Jay Sarno said. In mid-1996, a new venue known as “Caesars Magical Empire” was created on the property, showcasing major magicians such as Jon Armstrong… “Roman gladiators” led the guests through winding dimly-lighted passages, assuring them of their safety, and then humorously pretending to have taken a wrong and dangerous turn. The guests then arrived at the circular, domed, and ornately appointed Sanctorum Secorum, a central, 70-foot-high rotunda, from which other areas of the “Empire”, such as the mirrored “Infinity Hallway”, could be accessed. An audio-visual welcome from a heroic statue of Caesar was enhanced by music, a light show, and a 20-foot gas flame curling up from a fissure in the “rock.” A large vase seemingly floating in space near a statue poured a continuous stream of water into a pool. Due to the charms of this place, but primarily on the atmosphere in the casinos (always full of people), and above all symmetrical and beautiful buildings downtown apartment blocks, all the buildings seem to be miniatures of the only buildings ‘eternal city’ from past, so I decided to move to Rome Las Vegas. Dear reader, I am giving you time to make a final decision.
