3RD TRIP

LAST WINTER I MADE SIX TRIPS TO LAS VEGAS AND STAYED DOWNTOWN ON FREMONT STREET. THIS WEEK WE MADE TRIP NUMBER THREE FOR MARY AND ME IN FIVE WEEKS.

4 QUEENS

IT’S THE 4 QUEENS CASINO AND HOTEL THAT MAKES ALL THESE TRIPS POSSIBLE BECAUSE THEY HAVE LOW ROOM RATES, NO PARKING FEES, NO RESORT FEES, AND THEY OFFER A DISCOUNT WITH YOUR PLAYERS CLUB CARD. WE HAVE BEEN STAYING FOR $36/NIGHT. ON OUR FIRST TRIP WE WERE EVEN UPGRADED TO THE SOUTH TOWER FOR FREE.

10,000 STEPS

OUR FIRST OBJECTIVE IS TO GET OUR DAILY STEPS, WHICH IS REALLY EASY TO DO IN VEGAS. IN FACT THIS WEEK WE WERE BOTH JUST SHORT OF 20,000 STEPS THE SECOND DAY.

THE STRIP

WE USUALLY JUST STAY DOWNTOWN ENJOYING THE $3 BUD LIGHTS AT THE THREE BOYD PROPERTIES, BUT YESTERDAY ON THE WAY OUT OF TOWN WE DECIDE TO HIKE ON THE STRIP.  WE WERE ABLE TO CATCH THE CHRISTMAS SHOW AT THE BELLIGO GARDENS WHICH NEVER DISAPPOINTS. WE STOPPED TO REST AT THE COSMOPLITAN CASINO SPORTS BOOK AND I ORDERED A BUD LIGHT ON TAP, IT COST $10 !!!  MARY HAD A CLUB SODA $5, AND THEN THERE WAS $1.24 SALES TAX ADDED TO THE BILL? GOOD GRIEF, NO WONDER I HATE THE STRIP !!!

TRIP #4

OUR FOURTH TRIP IS LESS THAN TWO WEEKS AWAY WHEN WE MEET MARK & JAYNE, FROM DES MOINES, FOR THEIR ANNUAL NEVADA TRIP.
