Anyone who says that there's not been any noticeable changes in the weather over the past few years hasn't been to Vegas at Christmas time!! It was certainly cool there these past few days, but like we always say...it's always warm inside the casinos! And we always have a great time...regardless. My particular favourite part of the trip was when I put a $20 bill in a Wizard of Oz machine, and on my third 80 cent spin I hit the jackpot and cashed out $800. Yeah, don't get too excited...I was waaaay down at the time...but thanks to that win I was able to come home with a good chunk of change in my pocket.
The colder weather outside made foot travel on the Strip a bit easier. It also made sightseeing a bit easier, too. Now, before you get excited, when I say "sightseeing", I don't mean the Grand Canyon or Hoover Dam...you know we don't go there!! What I mean is that it was easier to see the 5 Elvis's that were on the corner of Las Vegas Blvd and Flamingo Rd....and wait a minute...one of those Elvis's is a girl!!! Can you say THAT 5 times fast!!!
WHAT I LEARNED IN VEGAS: Not everyone thinks the way I do. Yeah, I know, no surprise there. But I really don't think that Vegas is the best family vacation destination... ESPECIALLY at Christmas!! I'm sure there are millions who'd disagree with me... at least 50,000 of them were in Vegas last week. This was one of the few trips to Vegas where I noticed strollers outnumbered power chairs. (And before you ask... yes, I'm equally frustrated when I get stuck behind a stroller while walking on the Strip as I am when I'm stuck behind a power chair driven by an oblivious blue hair.) But you know what?? For everyone that disagrees with me, I'll bet there are 2 that agree with me. After all, have you ever seen a daycare center in a casino resort?? Coincidence?? I think NOT!!!
