The Queue
August 12, 2025 in the United States ⋅ ☀️ 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 theRead more
A Room With a View
August 12, 2025 in the United States ⋅ ☀️ 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 definitelyRead more
Another View
August 12, 2025 in the United States ⋅ ☀️ 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 theRead more
Combined View
August 12, 2025 in the United States ⋅ ☀️ 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 thatRead more
Good Night, Las Vegas!
August 12, 2025 in the United States ⋅ 🌙 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 beRead more
V Theater
August 13, 2025 in the United States ⋅ ☀️ 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 theRead more
Showgirl Bar
August 13, 2025 in the United States ⋅ ☀️ 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 atRead more
Lost
August 13, 2025 in the United States ⋅ ☀️ 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
August 13, 2025 in the United States ⋅ ☀️ 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’tRead more
We Found It!
August 13, 2025 in the United States ⋅ ☀️ 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
August 13, 2025 in the United States ⋅ ☀️ 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! OutRead more
The Big Salad
August 13, 2025 in the United States ⋅ ☀️ 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’llRead more
Carlo’s Cakes
August 13, 2025 in the United States ⋅ ☀️ 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’tRead more
Uber Ride
August 13, 2025 in the United States ⋅ ☀️ 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 veryRead more
Fly Over Las Vegas
August 13, 2025 in the United States ⋅ ☀️ 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 FlyRead more
Coca-Cola Store
August 13, 2025 in the United States ⋅ ☀️ 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 showRead more
Orange
August 13, 2025 in the United States ⋅ ☁️ 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
August 13, 2025 in the United States ⋅ ☁️ 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 imagineRead more
Taste the Rainbow
August 13, 2025 in the United States ⋅ ☀️ 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 beRead more
Pals
August 13, 2025 in the United States ⋅ ☀️ 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 singleRead more
Mugs
August 13, 2025 in the United States ⋅ ☀️ 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 timeRead more
Denny’s
August 13, 2025 in the United States ⋅ ☀️ 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 aRead more
Waiting
August 13, 2025 in the United States ⋅ ☀️ 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 ourRead more
Back to The Paris
August 13, 2025 in the United States ⋅ ☀️ 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 actuallyRead more
Vanderpump à Paris
August 13, 2025 in the United States ⋅ ☀️ 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 anRead more
