One week from today....

Postby Jared » Sat Jun 05, 2010 11:58 pm

I will be arriving in Las Vegas NV....and returning the following wednesday

we are staying with richelle's dad who has a place less than 5 miles from the strip and spending a lot of time exploring the strip and surrounding area...

We already have a room at the Bellagio hotel for one of the nights of the vacation. We plan on seeing the cirque de sol beatles show, possibly the magic show at the stratosphere and possibly the blue man group, fountain watching from the bellagio, boat ride at the venetian, free pirate ship show...etc.

What are some of the other must do items when one is in vegas?

Keep in mind we will proably be visiting every year or two since we now have a place to stay so we don't HAVE to do everything in one trip.

1. Captain, if the problem is not entered into the technical logbook.........then the aircraft does not have a problem.
2. And, if you have time to write the fault on a napkin and attach to it to the yoke.........you have time to write it in the tech log....see point 1.

If you were hoping to meet the "CSI" (Las Vegas) actors and film crew there....

...sorry!...... they are actually filmed in Santa Clarita (Los Angeles), not far from Burbank Film Studios!..... ;)...!

Have fun, Jared!

Paul... :)...!

It is, my parents where on a jet-set-geriatric-tour of the US a couple of weeks ago. Vegas was a stop over.

Don't miss the BMG... I haven't seen their Vegas show, but I'm sure it's a lot of fun.

Head over to the Paris hotel and go up in the "Eiffel Tower". It offers a spectacular view, especially at night. Also, remember that most casinos will give you free drinks just for playing the slots, so if you get thirsty during you're exploration of the strip, have a seat at a penny slot and it won't be long. ;)

Keep all of the above in mind, but one thing stands out...

Go rent a machine gun and rip through a few magazines. Full-auto fire is curiously satisfying...
