The Queue
12 augustus 2025, Verenigde Staten ⋅ ☀️ 111 °F
We can check into our hotel room now but the line is horrific. It’s moving a bit faster than we had expected it to but that doesn’t make it any better. There’s an online check in process but theMeer informatie
A Room With a View
12 augustus 2025, Verenigde Staten ⋅ ☀️ 108 °F
We finally got our hotel room and made it upstairs. I’m loving the view we have and, since it’s a corner room, we have floor to ceiling windows on two walls. I’d say this room was definitelyMeer informatie
Another View
12 augustus 2025, Verenigde Staten ⋅ ☀️ 108 °F
This is the view from our other window in our room. From here, we can see the south side of the Las Vegas Strip and a bit of the airport. While this looks very nice, I think I prefer the view from theMeer informatie
Combined View
12 augustus 2025, Verenigde Staten ⋅ ☀️ 108 °F
This view is from the center, showing a bit of both sides. That big resort next to us is Planet Hollywood. Maybe we’ll stay there on our next visit. We usually seem to spend a lot of time at thatMeer informatie
Good Night, Las Vegas!
12 augustus 2025, Verenigde Staten ⋅ 🌙 106 °F
Waking up so early, traveling, and then walking around all day in the extreme heat has finally started to catch up with us and we’re ready to call it a night. Hopefully we’ll sleep well and beMeer informatie
V Theater
13 augustus 2025, Verenigde Staten ⋅ ☀️ 106 °F
We must have been a lot more exhausted than we thought because we woke up very late today. It’s okay though, we’re on vacation! After leisurely getting ourselves ready, we went next door to theMeer informatie
Showgirl Bar
13 augustus 2025, Verenigde Staten ⋅ ☀️ 106 °F
This giant figure of a stripper can be seen standing outside of the Showgirl Bar, right next door to the V Theater. I’ve been seeing this figure since my first trip to Las Vegas and I always take atMeer informatie
Lost
13 augustus 2025, Verenigde Staten ⋅ ☀️ 106 °F
Now that we’ve got our show tickets, it’s time to get something to eat. Since it’s already lunch time, we decided to get some sandwiches from Earl of Sandwich but the question is, how do we get there?
Dave’s Hot Chicken
13 augustus 2025, Verenigde Staten ⋅ ☀️ 108 °F
We found a food court so I’m thinking that we might be close. I seem to remember that Earl of Sandwich is closer to the casino than the food court though. I’ve always loved neon and couldn’tMeer informatie
We Found It!
13 augustus 2025, Verenigde Staten ⋅ ☀️ 108 °F
After what seemed like far too long, we finally found the Earl of Sandwich and I was right, it was right next to the casino. We’re both starving so I’m sure whatever we get is going to taste great!
The Holiday Turkey
13 augustus 2025, Verenigde Staten ⋅ ☀️ 108 °F
I got my usual order, the Holiday Turkey sandwich. This is, basically, Thanksgiving on a hero roll. I just have them hold the cranberry and the mayonnaise. This is such a great tasting sandwich! OutMeer informatie
The Big Salad
13 augustus 2025, Verenigde Staten ⋅ ☀️ 108 °F
I’m surprised that Kathy decided to order a salad at one of the best sandwich restaurants ever. Well, I do know that she really enjoys salads so maybe it’s not that big of a surprise. I’llMeer informatie
Carlo’s Cakes
13 augustus 2025, Verenigde Staten ⋅ ☀️ 109 °F
We ran into another unusual vending machine, this one selling cakes. I’ve heard of Carlo’s Bake Shop before but I’ve never eaten there. All of the available cakes look so tasty! If I wasn’tMeer informatie
Uber Ride
13 augustus 2025, Verenigde Staten ⋅ ☀️ 109 °F
Leaving Planet Hollywood, we took an Uber to the south side of the Las Vegas Strip. It’s just too hot, and too far, to walk. The size of the buildings here can fool you into thinking places are veryMeer informatie
Fly Over Las Vegas
13 augustus 2025, Verenigde Staten ⋅ ☀️ 109 °F
Fly Over is an attraction that is starting to pop up in many different cities now. It’s the same sort of thing as the Soaring ride at the Disney parks and they are city specific. We’ve done FlyMeer informatie
Coca-Cola Store
13 augustus 2025, Verenigde Staten ⋅ ☀️ 109 °F
We’re back out on the Strip again. Unfortunately, we couldn’t take any photos or videos in Fly Over since it’s not permitted but it was an amazing experience! It was better than the Chicago showMeer informatie
Orange
13 augustus 2025, Verenigde Staten ⋅ ☁️ 109 °F
Our next stop was the M&M’s Store. Lots of big cities have the M&M stores now but I think the best one is the one back home in New York City. I think that might have been the first one too.
Colors
13 augustus 2025, Verenigde Staten ⋅ ☁️ 109 °F
There’s so many colors, and styles, of M&M’s to pick from. I’d never buy them this way though. They are sold by the pound and the prices being charged for them is ridiculous. I can’t imagineMeer informatie
Taste the Rainbow
13 augustus 2025, Verenigde Staten ⋅ ☀️ 109 °F
There’s so many different colors of M&M’s candies. Despite so much variety, they all taste exactly the same. I’m surprised that there is no flavor variation. Like for these, yellow could beMeer informatie
Pals
13 augustus 2025, Verenigde Staten ⋅ ☀️ 109 °F
Most of the M&M’s stores that I’ve been to have a few of these big figures scattered around but the one in Las Vegas seems to have more than most. I think that they have nearly every singleMeer informatie
Mugs
13 augustus 2025, Verenigde Staten ⋅ ☀️ 109 °F
I dare you to think of an item that you can't find here with an M&M's logo imprinted on it. Need M&M pillows for your couch? An orange M&M bath mat? A red M&M apron and tea kettle? Spend enough timeMeer informatie
Denny’s
13 augustus 2025, Verenigde Staten ⋅ ☀️ 109 °F
These are the windows of Denny’s, right next to the M&M’s store. I’m guessing that these are supposed to be a diamond and a spade, since Las Vegas is a gambling town, but I see the spade as aMeer informatie
Waiting
13 augustus 2025, Verenigde Staten ⋅ ☀️ 109 °F
Being that it’s so hot, and we’re feeling exhausted, we decided to just take an Uber back to our hotel rather than use the monorail or walk. It’s not easy standing in the hot sun waiting for ourMeer informatie
Back to The Paris
13 augustus 2025, Verenigde Staten ⋅ ☀️ 109 °F
Even though we could see the Paris hotel from where we were, it was much too far to walk. All of the buildings here are so big that they give the illusion that they are a lot closer than they actuallyMeer informatie
Vanderpump à Paris
13 augustus 2025, Verenigde Staten ⋅ ☀️ 109 °F
Vanderpump à Paris is one of the restaurants inside the Paris hotel. I love the gothic style of this place but I don’t think we’ll be eating here. It seems to be a place more for drinks than anMeer informatie
