i know so many people that really have a strong dislike, hatred even, for Las Vegas.  i on the other hand, think the occasional Vegas trip is fun.  it’s like Disneyland…..bright, crowded, overwhelming and fun for a weekend.

it’s been a long time since i wandered the strip, but it really hasn’t changed that much.  there are new hotels, shopping areas and restaurants, but the old favorites are still there.

during this trip home base was the Wyndham Grand Desert, off the strip on E. Harmon.  it was great. clean, spacious rooms, good cafe and they have three pools. one of which is adults only with a bar serving frozen fruity delicious drinks.  there is a small movie theater that shows 3-4 films a day, and they have a ton of activities for those that seek in-resort entertainment.

my friend and i ventured out for our entertainment which included a visit to the Neon Museum, home to a lot of retired Las Vegas neon signs.  pretty cool and very informative tour, and only $23.

for dinner went ended up at La Comida before the neon outing and Secret Pizza the other night.  it’s not really secret, be prepared to wait at least 20 minutes in line, but it is tasty and only $11 for two slices.  i had a slice of white and one mushroom-olive…both were good but the white was my favorite.  desert was a slice of Crack Pie from the Milk Bar.……yum!

a perfect weekend get-away.

next up………………..Bonneville 2017.  pray for good salt.
