The Big Rush

We've landed in Las Vegas and now starts the big rush to get out of the plane. People seem to move so slowly getting up from their seat and taking their bags from the overhead bin. We're seatedLeer más
We're Here!

We're finally off the plane and just got into the airport. It feels so good to be on my feet and walking around again! Since we didn't check any bags, we're able to go straight to the groundLeer más
We Need a Lyft

It was a long walk to the area where Uber and Lyft cars are allowed to pick up passengers. It seems like they are put far away deliberately to encourage people to use the regular taxi cabs in LasLeer más
New York New York

After a bit of a wait, we left the airport sharing a Lyft cab. It didn't really matter to us because our hotel was so close to the airport and we were just so eager to get there. Because our ride wasLeer más
Checking In

We did the online check in while we were still in the airport so we didn't have to wait on those long check in lines that seem to plague every hotel on the Strip. All we had to do was scan the barcodeLeer más
Room 1110

It was a bit tricky at first to find the proper elevator but we were soon in our room. We're in room 1110, with a view looking out over the Strip. Right now, we're both just relaxing a bit beforeLeer más
Checking In

Kathy is letting our family back home that we got here okay and just checked into our room. Judy is very confused as to why we are staying at the New York New York saying that we just came from NewLeer más
MGM Grand Buffet

Since we hadn't eaten anything yet today, we decided to go to one of the famous Las Vegas buffets. The New York New York doesn't have any buffets, which I found a bit odd since nearly all the hotelsLeer más
Exhaustion Takes Over

As we were leaving the buffet, Kathy started not feeling very well and wanted to get back to our hotel room right away. As soon as we got there, she ran into the bathroom and everything that she ateLeer más
Awakening in Darkness

I guess that I was a lot more tired than I thought, because the next thing that I remember was waking up at nearly three in the morning. The room must have those blackout curtains because I was inLeer más
Village Street Bakery

We woke up this morning feeling very refreshed and relaxed. I'm shocked by how much we slept but I guess all that traveling took more out of us than we thought. I'm sure that getting sick from theLeer más
Tired but Hungry

I got a buttered onion bagel and Kathy had a yogurt and fruit parfait. I must say, for a bagel outside of New York, it was quite good. I think that the hotel must fly these in from New York to matchLeer más
Deal Me In!

After breakfast, we walked around the casino for a bit but didn't play anything yet. Signs of the new hockey team, the Las Vegas Golden Knights, were everywhere we looked. Most of the employees wereLeer más
Taking it to the Street

Having finished breakfast, we decided to walk around on the Vegas Strip for a while and see how much is new since our last trip here. The New York New York extends their Big Apple theme right out intoLeer más
Hershey's Chocolate World

There's a Hershey Store right inside the New York New York hotel. I like the Hershey Store a lot and already have seen several things that I'd like to get but, unfortunately, everything there is kindLeer más
At the Saxe

We're at the Saxe Theater in the Planet Hollywood Miracle Mile Shops looking into show tickets for the Comedy Magic of Nathan Burton show. We saw this show the last time we were here in Las Vegas andLeer más
Walking the Miracle Mile

I really like the Miracle Mile Shops in Planet Hollywood. The shops seem to be exactly the same as what we saw the last time we were in Las Vegas but that's okay because most of them are really goodLeer más
Under the Dome

Always look up or you'll miss sites like this, the stained glass dome over the walkway between the Paris Las Vegas and Bally's Resort. I'm surprised by how many people I saw just walking on by and notLeer más
A Rest at Bally's

We've been walking on the Las Vegas Strip all morning and we're finally taking a much needed rest in Bally's. Fortunately, it's not crowded here so we can sit on these soft chairs in the casino andLeer más
Gordon Ramsay's Burger

We walked back to the Planet Hollywood resort and got there just as Gordon Ramsay's Burger was opening. We've eaten at Chef Ramsay's Burger restaurant on our last visit to Las Vegas and we loved it.Leer más
A New Menu

We noticed right away that the menu here is different now. Not only has it's appearance changed but everything that they served before is now different. Everything was perfect before so why did theyLeer más
The Ultimate Cheeseburger

This is what I selected from the new menu. It's listed as the Ultimate Cheeseburger which is a hamburger covered with aged provolone, dubliner and boursin cheeses. I've never heard of boursin orLeer más
A Great Lunch

This was a much better burger than I was expecting it to be and the only complaint I can possibly think of is that the portions seem to have gotten a bit smaller than what I remember. I really wishLeer más
Brick Bears

As we were wandering around the Miracle Mile Shops, Kathy noticed these stormtrooper bears and pointed them out to me. I thought that this might be a toy store or a comic shop and I might be able toLeer más
Next Stop, ABC!

After we finished our lunch, we wandered around Planet Hollywood's Miracle Mile Shops and made ABC our first stop. ABC is a mix of 7-11 and a Las Vegas souvenir shop. Unlike most of the 7-11's I'veLeer más
