Harley Davidson Travel Blog . . . and thoughts along the journey

This is vacation weather! Still blue sky and around 88 degrees . . .. Today I walked the other side of the Las Vegas Strip toward the new hotel “Wynn”. All the architecture here is absolutely breath taking. I do not think that they saved on anything. Each building that I start to admire is being taken over by more glorious features then the previous one.

On Thursday ‘My Mary’ will be flying out here and we will be visiting the ‘O’ show in the Bellagio, Cirque du Soleil. Everyone in Vegas is talking about this show. We bought tickets for the 8th, and I will let you know about the show later.

The best part of this visit is the watching of the masses of people. Some wear fashion they would not wear in their home town; some eat their self-made sandwiches while playing the slots . . . and you can’t imagine the great conversations I had with people from all around the world. Everyone here is in great mood: . . . no matter if it is the older lady (who had one whiskey too many) that just lost $4,000.00 on the roulette table (her comment: “I am just here to have fun!” . . . or the guy who just won $3,000.00 on the blackjack table (his comment: “I had better days . . ., but its OK’).

The reality is, that this city is built upon offering entertainment for the whole family. I believe the days of pure ‘gambling entertainment’ are gone forever. The streets are filled with families and the hotels offer childcare everywhere. The food is reasonable inexpensive. I only eat two meals (breakfast and one meal later in the afternoon), because the portions are very large and I truly cannot eat any more . . . even when I walk around all day.

The entertainment value reaches from a museum exhibit of the Kremlin, to a wax museum . . . to Magic Shows or big star shows of today’s entertainment world . . . or to tours of the Grand Canyon, Hoover Dam, etc. Truly something for everyone!

I have spoken to some people here, who suggested NOT to go via Colorado back home, because of the possible snowfall in some of the mountain passes. So, I will once again reconsider my route. . . and I will let you know later. If you have any suggestion leave me a comment.

My thoughts are with all of you!
