Las Vegas 2014: Trip #1

WHAT A TRIP!  I couldn’t even complain.  If you ever visit Las Vegas, go in mid- to  late-May. The weather was really nice. We flew out from a chilly Reagan National Airport and landed in warm Las Vegas.  As always, Brian got me a seat at the window right behind the wing.  I can never resist taking video of the take-offs and landings. That seat and those videos have become a tradition now.

This was our first trip from the time share special invitation deal that my sister had gotten us.  I had to make Vegas my first stop.

We stayed in the Excalibur hotel and casino. The room was really nice, although the view could have been a little better. At least we had a sight of some of the strip, the NY NY coaster and the MGM.  However, seventy-five percent of our visual was vastness of the hotel from the outside.  It didn’t matter. It’s not we came to Vegas to stay locked up in our Ivory Tower room.  We got out and took in the city for all three days.  We even decided to spend an extra day.

Places to Visit:

  1. The Wicked Spoon: The best buffet you will ever come across in Las Vegas!
  2. The Dancing Fountain: Shows are frequent, but make sure you get a close view.
  3. Any of the Cirque du Soleil shows: We went to Ka, O and Mystere. Each were excellent, except the ending of Ka.
