Blog Assignment #3

Blog assignment # 3


For the last part of the blog assignment, we were instructed to add six additional posts that illustrates what we like about real estate. I would start the first post up, by looking back at my recent road trip that started in Las Vegas and ended all the way in San Francisco.


Our stay in Vegas started at the Luxor which at the time build as the largest building of the strip. Both from the outside and in, this piece of real estate is truly magnificent. However, the fun thing about this place is, that the outside dimension as build exactly to replicate the sides of the Red Pyramid of Egypt.


During my road trip in the Thanksgiving break I stayed in the Luxor, but real estate on the strip is really difference. Where a shower and a bed is sufficient in normal hotel rooms, here everything has to be bigger, better, or more beautiful due to massive competition. Hence, the extravagance of hotels in Vegas go far beyond the Luxor - there's a hotel with a rollercoaster as well as a hotel with indoor facilities to host a knight's show. This is utterly insane compared to Denmark where a simplistic room is much more preferred. But I guess it goes with the saying that 'the city that never sleeps'.

It's quite clear where the inspiration for the Luxor comes from. Even though that the hotel is an amazing building, I can't imagine how hard it must have been to build a structure of the same size 4000 years ago. Both pieces of real estate are truly worth thinking about and admire.
