June 9-16, 2018 Vegas Vacation : Part 2

50.   Wednesday morning Sandra and I did another Walking tour, leaving Bally's heading North exploring Casinos along the way. We hit up the Flamingo, the LINQ, Harrah's, Casino Royale, and finally the stunning Venetian.

64.   It was even hotter today than yesterday so after lunch we headed back to the hotel for supper and to get ready for this evening.

65.   Later that evening we headed back to the Plaza Hotel for a couple games of Bingo. Winning $$$ and complimentary beer, sign me up.

66.

67.   After successfully winning a couple games of Bingo we left the Plaza and headed North along Main Street to Main Street Station Hotel & Casino. This was another place I saw in the "Living in Las Vegas" vlogs on YouTube and was excited to check it out.

68.   Although recently renovated, this Casino has the charm of an early 1900's fancy hotel as its finished in Victorian woodwork, stamped tin ceilings and beautiful engraving all mingled with modern Casino Games. It's truly beautiful as it is unique.

69.   As seen in the Vlog, upstairs you can find Winston Churchill's snooker table, which is huge!

70.   After checking out the Casino we decide to have a late dinner here as well at the Triple 7 Restaurant and Microbrewery. This restaurant is open late and had a great menu with very fair prices. I had steak while Sandra had ribs and the meal was absolutely amazing, including appetizer the bill was right at $30. Highly recommended.

71.   Leaving Main Street Station we headed South back to Freemont Street. The structure of the street enclosure is pretty impressive.

72.   Every hour on the hour all of Freemont Street's Neon lights go out and the Ceiling takes centre stage with a special performance. Its pretty amazing the architecture and electronics required to make this all happen. The sound system for this venue alone is amazing and quite staggering to comprehend.

73.

74.   Thursday morning began with a little bit of a late start as the jet lag time difference shift finally started to lift. This morning we went on a walking tour headed North on Linq Lane towards the LINQ Promenade.

75.   This pedestrian Promenade runs from Linq Lane to Las Vegas Boulevard and is home to dozens of shops and restaurants. An awesome spot to visit and revisit trying a new place to eat each time!

76.   The Promenade is home to In-N-Out Burgers, neither Sandra or I have ever tried it so we checked it out. The restaurant was super busy but the staff are like a factory so wait time was minimal. Our meal was fairly cheap but absolutely fantastic! Really good fast food, would definitely go back.

79.   Leaving the Promenade we crossed Las Vegas Boulevard and headed towards Cesar's Palace.

80.   The famous Fountains at Cesar's, jumped by Evil Knievel on a motorcycle decades ago, a feat which will be recreated here later this year by the one and only Travis Pastrana 199.

81.   Our walking tour continued with stops at Paris Paris, Planet Hollywood, and the Miracle Mile Shops at Planet Hollywood.

88.   That evening we went to the Absinthe Show at Cesar's Palace, a highly recommended show in Vegas.

89.   All I can say is that we weren't disappointed. The show is amazing, full of talented performers doing absolutely crazy acrobatic acts amidst a team of hilarious entertainers. If your in Vegas, definitely do not miss this show.

90.

91.   After the show, we headed back to the Linq Promenade to the Tilted Kilt for a late supper. Once again the food was good and service fantastic.

92.   Friday morning Sandra wanted to check out a store which could only be found at Town Square, a shopping area right on the SDX bus route South towards the South Premium Outlets.

93.   It's a pretty neat area but it requires alot of walking to check it out.

94.

95.   After a relaxing afternoon we headed back to Freemont Street for a few Games of Bingo, some $5 minimum Blackjack and to mingle with the crazy crowd on the street. 

96.

97.   For our last supper on this trip we decided to head back to the Triple 7 Restaurant at Main Street Station. Our last meal there was fantastic and this time we were not disappointed either!  Our table this time gave us an excellent view of the award winning microbrewery.

98.

99.   Across the street from Main Street Station lies the California Hotel & Casino which we hope to visit on our next Vegas Vacation.

101.   Like all vacations, they have to come to an end, this time all too soon. We had an awesome time here and cant wait to visit again soon and take in even more of what the city has to offer.
