Bozz Travels: Las Vegas Wrapup

in #busy5 years ago

Over the past couple of weeks I have been entertaining you(or maybe boring you) with posts about the trip @mrsbozz and I took to Las Vegas, NV over Spring Break.

I promise you, this should be my last post on that topic. I went back and looked at all of our pictures from the trip and I have picked some gems that I hadn't yet shared.

I always pick a window seat when I can. I know some people don't like being near window, but I really enjoy looking out and seeing the landscape(when you can).

This was on our way to Detroit for our connecting flight. It's a fairly short hop(basically up and down), they don't even offer drink service because it is only 23 minutes.

This is on the ground in Detroit, it was a kind of gloomy day when we left, but luckily we had fantastic weather out in Nevada. The clouds gave way at just the right time over the middle of the country and I got these awesome shots:

One of the first things we did once we got situated in our hotel was walk down to the Stratosphere so we could find a place to watch the Michigan State NCAA tournament basketball game.

Remembering the #lookingup challenge that @tattoodjay participates in frequently, I made sure to take these shots. I am not sure how accurate it is, but one of our Uber drivers told us that the Stratosphere tower is the tallest building in the US West of the Mississippi river. Feel free to fact check that at your leisure :)

The Friday night that we flew in, @mrsbozz and I had gotten tickets for a show. We wanted to see an artist perform, but all of the good ones like James Taylor, Queen, and Lady Gaga had shows either right before or right after we left. Instead we decided to see a Cirque show that we had heard good things about at The Wynn.

It was a fantastic show. Having never been to one before, I was quite overwhelmed. There were so many things going on in so many different places, I had no clue where to focus my attention. The performers did an amazing job and there were some feats that we could only shake our heads and marvel at. Like I said, it was a fantastic show!

The Wynn is actually a really beautiful casino and we probably would have spent more time here if the table limits weren't so high!

That last shot is probably one of my favorite pictures from the trip!

This is another #lookingup shot I took of the Palazzo after we left the Wynn. We ended up spending the rest of that night at the Mirage until we headed back to our hotel.

This was the view from our hotel room.

The next day we spent some time around the pool working on our tans...

Okay, not really, @mrsbozz and I are pretty fair skinned, so we have to put SPF 60 on just to keep from getting burned. That usually means we don't get too much of a tan.

This is a shot of our hotel from the outside as we were walking back to it one time. The Hilton Grand Vacations Resort on the Las Vegas strip is really quite nice if you don't mind the fact that it doesn't have a casino inside of it.

And another couple of #lookingup pictures. This one is our hotel again and the one below is just outside the Fashion Show Mall down by Treasure Island.

Saturday night we did some more meandering through the town...

I took this picture because the heart on the CVS sign reminded me of the @dlike logo.

Casino Royale is kind of a dump of a casino, but my first time visiting Vegas we spent a lot of time there. Because of that it holds a special place in my heart. The table games are pretty cheap there too...

Our last day in Vegas after we ate at Black Bear Diner(see my old posts), we had our Uber driver take us down to The Orlean's. Since it is off the strip, the prices are cheaper and we were surprised when we realized just how big it is.

We spent the second half of our morning drinking Corona's and playing Keno there. I was pretending to be a high roller!

Finally, I am going to leave you with some more shots I took from the plane. The one at the beginning of this post was from LAS airport as we were leaving on Tuesday afternoon.

In the first ones here you can see Lake Mead.

Seeing those wonderful views from the flights makes me miss my Flying days I must say and thanks for the cool sights around Vegas, I dont think I ever went into the Wynn, not sure if it was even finished before my last visit there

It is pretty new in relative terms. I actually don't enjoy flying like I used to but I like the views!

The views are the best part of flying it never bothered, me, but the waiting before or between flights used to drive me nuts LOL

Looks like you had a grand time! And thanks for using the #lookingup tag! !Tip

No problem and thanks! It was a great trip! I love this challenge!

Maybe if we all spend more time lookingup it will help push Steem in that direction! 😃🚀

We can always hope!

It’s been years since I was in Vegas but I have been 4 times before and stayed at the Stratosphere you had some snaps off. It’s a very adult city.

Posted using Partiko iOS

Adult indeed! It amazes me the number of people that think it is an okay place to bring their kids though...

Photography from above the clouds, super awesome.

Did not know James Taylor still does live shows, have not heard his music in a long time.

Safer to stay out of the sun, tanning just makes you sore... Swim and enjoy the pool sounds a great way to relax @bozz

Yeah, he has a residence right now at Caesars Palace I think. We were supposed to see him several years ago, but we had lawn seats and the weather didn't cooperate... It's a big regret of mine.

Nothing beats seeing live music, considering we don't get many international bands in our region, we make an effort not to miss out when they do arrive.

Bad weather or poor sales on tickets, quite a few bands not seen which was our loss.

That stinks! We have so many here I can't afford them all and I can't even list them all!
