Honestly, Las Vegas has never exactly been on my list of Have To Go See places – still, I am rather excited to be going.
We’re staying at the Cancun Resort, right off the strip. I am told the strip is quite long however – so I’m not sure if we’ll be right in the middle of things or not. Still, it’s a fine place: complete with a water slide and everything! Bryan has a Time Share that he was able to use for our stay – so that was one less thing for us to worry about. I’m sure our room will be nice.
We fly on Friday, leaving Anchorage quite early in the morning and arrive in Las Vegas in time for supper. Saturday/Sunday is his conference, then we fly home Monday afternoon. It’s a whirlwind trip – but it will be fun. They are, however, right in the middle of a massive heat wave with temps in the mid-teens (meaning 114 degrees), so I will die.
I plan to visit Mandalay Bay to see the sharks (my brother Reed says they are way cool) and Caesar’s Palace (Bryan thinks I will enjoy the artwork there). Maybe even hitting the Venetian if I can. Once Bryan is out of his conference, we plan to walk the strip together to take in the sights. Theoretically it will be cooler in the evening so I can enjoy myself. And I plan to talk to the concierge at the resort to see if they can recommend a good vegan place to eat!
Vegas has never been on my bucket list$ either, but two years ago (?) I went there for The Big Blues Bender. Four days of nearly non-stop live blues music at the Hard Rock Hotel and Casino. My friend and I got there a day before and stayed a day after. If you get a chance, check out The Fremont Street Experience. Pretty cool. https://www.lasvegashowto.com/fremont-street
