Doesn't take long to fly to Vegas.
Then we are waiting at the carousel for our bags. This year, we are taking two bags, both very colourful. There is a cartoon drawing of Paris, with the points of interest all there. We have a set of 3 of them. The first 2, the biggest and the hand luggage, came as a set from Briscoes (Think a really really really small Walmarts). The big one was on sale, and the little one came free inside it. Sarah then found the midsize one at another bag shop. Couldn't walk past it. Sarah, right?
Anyway, CIA satellites can spot our luggage, so we had no trouble.
Out into the Vegas heat to buy our shuttle tickets.The first of many streeeetch limos glide past.
Last time we did this, they give us these cool casino chips as your tickets. One per person, one each way. This time, we got a little book full of deals around town, with a "one way" or "return" stamp on the front. Bah Humbug!
Waiting on the pavement for the shuttle to arrive is a little painful. Some resort to standing in the shadow of street lights for shade. Clearly that would not work for me. Why are those people standing in my shadow? Piss off!!! Bastards!
We get into the A/C of our shuttle just in time, and we are off on a tiki tour to our hotel. A little disorienting, winding around. I lose my bearings a couple of times.
Suddenly there it is. The Vdara Hotel. Very nice. A strange giant palm tree sculpture out the front. On closer inspection, the fronds are canoes. I have no idea!
We are on the 51th floor, overlooking the city and beyond. Nice.
