We had an early flight in Vegas which resulted in a 4am wakeup for what would be an extremely long day. The main strip is very close to the airport but this didn’t stop the taxi driver taking us the long way around to our hotel after discovering it was our first time here; we discovered this later when taking the short way back for the return flight. Anyway slots greet you at the gate of the airport, along the shops and at the baggage claim area too. There is a lot of free stuff you can do as casinos try to tempt punters their way, also accommodation was the best value so far though service was lacking. Given the recession there was still a lot of people, god knows how many more there could be during the boom times but maybe like us they did not gamble much or at all.
Las Vegas Boulevard is too long to walk and we gave in to getting the day pass on “The Deuce” tourist buses, one particular driver was singing like Chef from South Park for entertainment which was a laugh (pic included).
True to Vegas we got back to our hotel early next morning after walking the entire main strip and catching the Fremont St experience as well.
As you can see there is plenty to do without gambling, an unexpected free show was front row seats to a heated political debate between an Obama supporter and a drunk “redneck?” lady while on the bus back to the hotel, I think the country is as politically divided as ever….
