Summer Trip to Las Vegas 2011


It has been almost a year to the day since we were last in Vegas. We planed this trip to get away from our year of rain. Much to our surprise it rained 3 of the 4 days we were there! Sitting by the pool as it rained in 98 degrees…

Our plan was simple this trip. Stay around mid Strip and visit old town Fremont Street and the Hofbräuhaus beer hall.

  Las Vegas Strip – Caesars Palace
Arriving on the 4th of July we were expecting to see the firework show at Caesars Palace. Unlike last year their show was on the 3rd?? There were many surprise tourists…

  Las Vegas Strip – Flamingo
Flamingo and its very friendly out side bar, good place to people watch. Two dollar drafts, you can’t go wrong…

Las Vegas Strip – Flamingos – Hotel Room over looking their Habitat area

Las Vegas Strip – Flamingos Habitat
Like last year we stayed at the Flamingo and like last year it took an hour to check in. There has to be a better way. Our room was clean and we had a nice view of their habitat area. We enjoy the pool area, sometimes it may be difficult to find a place to sit, but be patient there are always people leaving.

The Fremont Street Experience is always a fun place to visit. Live bands every few blocks, over head light shows every hour after sunset, a new zip-line ride, many cartoon characters mingle with the crowed and deep fried Twinkies!
