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 theLes mer
A Room With a View
12. august 2025, Forente stater ⋅ ☀️ 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 definitelyLes mer
Another View
12. august 2025, Forente stater ⋅ ☀️ 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 theLes mer
Combined View
12. august 2025, Forente stater ⋅ ☀️ 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 thatLes mer
Good Night, Las Vegas!
12. august 2025, Forente stater ⋅ 🌙 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 beLes mer
V Theater
13. august 2025, Forente stater ⋅ ☀️ 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 theLes mer
Showgirl Bar

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 atLes mer
Lost
13. august 2025, Forente stater ⋅ ☀️ 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. august 2025, Forente stater ⋅ ☀️ 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’tLes mer
We Found It!
13. august 2025, Forente stater ⋅ ☀️ 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. august 2025, Forente stater ⋅ ☀️ 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! OutLes mer
The Big Salad
13. august 2025, Forente stater ⋅ ☀️ 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’llLes mer
Carlo’s Cakes
13. august 2025, Forente stater ⋅ ☀️ 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’tLes mer
Uber Ride
13. august 2025, Forente stater ⋅ ☀️ 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 veryLes mer
Fly Over Las Vegas
13. august 2025, Forente stater ⋅ ☀️ 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 FlyLes mer
Coca-Cola Store
13. august 2025, Forente stater ⋅ ☀️ 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 showLes mer
Orange
13. august 2025, Forente stater ⋅ ☁️ 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. august 2025, Forente stater ⋅ ☁️ 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 imagineLes mer
Taste the Rainbow
13. august 2025, Forente stater ⋅ ☀️ 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 beLes mer
Pals
13. august 2025, Forente stater ⋅ ☀️ 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 singleLes mer
Mugs
13. august 2025, Forente stater ⋅ ☀️ 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 timeLes mer
Denny’s
13. august 2025, Forente stater ⋅ ☀️ 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 aLes mer
Waiting
13. august 2025, Forente stater ⋅ ☀️ 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 ourLes mer
Back to The Paris
13. august 2025, Forente stater ⋅ ☀️ 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 actuallyLes mer
Vanderpump à Paris
13. august 2025, Forente stater ⋅ ☀️ 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 anLes mer
