Day Three - Off To Vegas
This was the most physically demanding day of the trip thus far as we had to take a bus to the airport during the worst downpour of the year. Streets were closed due to flooding, we had to run to catch the bus, the bus had some crazy folks on it, and the plane was delayed 2 hours. We made the best of it though, sitting near a ‘talking water fountain’ (stupid idea) I was able to beat another level on Tactical Assault.
The welcome in Vegas was slightly less than encouraging; while the airport was nice the first person I spoke to had a chip on her shoulder the size of our plane. The folks at the Stratosphere were pretty good, funny even; in fact they talked us into upgrading our room for $10/night. Our room is nice, the jacuzzi is very big but the bed is a Queen, not the King we paid for but we don’t mind.
One unfortunate thing is that our TV doesn’t get Comedy Central.
We went to IHOP for a late meal and it wasn’t very good; the eggs were runny, they tried to pass cold, stale toast off as sourdough, and the french toast was also stale.
All told our first impressions of Vegas weren’t very encouraging but our hotel seems pretty sweet.
