Are we in Paris and visiting the popcorn stand by the Eiffel tower? Nope. we are in Vegas, baby!!

Let me take you on a little walk through the town. Believe me, the whole center of town is one big shopping opportunity. You can leave your money in Vegas wherever you go.

This is last Thursday and we had arrived for the Steem Creators Conference just in time to walk with a bunch of the other attendees to the restaurant for the meet and greet event.

I was busy just following the group that I don't even know the name of this - shopping area/ hotel/casino? Don't know. but I do know that there was nothing in that building which would agree with my wallet.

I liked this fun statue a lot.

After we passed the statue, four of us realized that we had lost the rest of the group - we were so busy taking pictures of everything that we didn't pay attention. Oh well. Time to explore more.

At the bottom of the stairs was a fancy restaurant, but the pictures I took didn't turn out.

So, we went back up.

Finally, we found our way out of the building with directions (kind of) to the restaurant where the others were already waiting for us.

As you can see, the streets are wide and filled with lots of cars. Pedestrians cross on bridges high above the traffic. Cleverly, the city installed escalators for easy access. If it were stairs, many would rather cross the busy street instead of climbing a flight of stairs.

As we are walking along, the sun gave us lots of entertainment. Look at this building.

Every one is filled with shops and restaurants. But I love the reflection coming off the windows.

Pretty cool, right?

A little later, this was the view to the other side.

Finally, we arrived at the restaurant and look how they store their wine - or maybe it is just decoration.

What do you think?

Hope you enjoyed the little walk to unending shopping opportunities. See you all next week.

great!

Thanks for the fun tour @mariannewest! I never went there in my 30 years in the west!

I hear you are meeting with @bxlphabet today. Did you know he lives right by an artesian spring with free water? He does. It's here.

In the El Toyan Park and Recreation Center. People love it for drinking. The old people knew about this spring.

It seems like a homestead-y thing do do if you want to make a stop. I would be so happy for Caleb to have the water. Otherwise - have fun today and I hope @bxlphabet helps you.

thank you!! We might change to Monday if he got my message and it works for him. But that is a very good tip!!

This must have been a wonderful meetup, Marianne! Las Vegas was the perfect little place to do it. How fun!

I lived out near there at the base and spent enough time having fun, but would do it again!

Thank you so much for giving us the tour and for being a wonderful host for #marketfriday!!

Sorry I am so late getting to yours! xoxo
