Viva Las Vegas

Today is our last full day in Las Vegas.  This year we never went to any shows or concerts.  We kept super busy as there is so much to do.  Our tour today is a trip to the Las Vegas South Factory Outlet Mall.  Ian takes those who want to go at 10 and brings us back in the early afternoon.

Here are some pictures we've taken:


These pictures were taken while we were out for a walk


The black pillars with the white stripes were not here last year.
It would stop a terrorist from driving down the sidewalk as they have done in Europe.

Taken from a street overpass.  The streets are very quiet  Not a lot of people in town.

Bellagio on the left, Caesar's Palace on the right
Inside the Cosmopolitan
View from our room
We were given a room without a view on the fifth floor.  Last night about 9 we found water in the hallway.  I called guest services.  They sent up a maintenance guy and he called housekeeping,  The wonderful lady from housekeeping cleaned it up and called guest services to move us to another room.  We quickly packed up and they sent a bell guy with a cart who took our suitcases up to the 14th floor!  What a gorgeous view.  He told us we will be able to see the volcano. We will watch for it and hopefully get a nice picture.
Downtown you will find the Heart Attack Grill
Not very appealing!
We weren't here.  I got these pictures off the Internet,  We've only looked through the windows.
Every patron gets a hospital gown to wear.
The waitresses are dressed as nurses and have a stethoscope around their neck.
This is close to the Union Plaza at the north end
I don't know the name of the old casino at the left but it's been torn down and they are rebuilding

Another picture farther down the Freemont Street Experience

I caught the zip liners in action!
From our room waiting for the Volcano at the Mirage to erupt
When you are on the sidewalk the heat is immense.  Great seeing it from afar.
Tomorrow we start our journey home.  We will be at Wendover, NV at the Golden Nugget,

Starting to plan next year's vacation

With the Canadian Dollar/US Dollar exchange rate at 1.40 before the credit card surcharge, we've decided to stay in Canada next year.  W...
