Vegas to Rest – September 17-19, 2023

It was wonderful to finally get to temperatures that were more our speed. San Diego was overcast, cloudy and low 70-degree highs the entire time we were there. We wore jackets most of the time and were glad for them. In Vegas the high temperatures are expected to be the mid 90’s with very low humidity and we are really looking forward to sunshine again.

Our Vacation Club room is actually a one-bedroom suite with a washer and dryer in the room so we could do our much-needed laundry and write the blog at the same time. We were hoping Las Vegas would not be too crowded since it was early in the week and not a weekend. WRONG! I guess this place is never slow or not busy. We have two favorite places to eat when we come to this crazy city, so Sunday dinner was at the Paris Las Vegas Hotel where they have La Creperie. They make crepes to order, and we each had a Monte Cristo crepe with turkey, ham, Swiss cheese, strawberry jam, and sugar and ate sitting in an area made to look like the streets of Paris with the ceiling painted like the sky.

At its best, Las Vegas is actually always rated PG (from early morning to around 5 p.m.) and then as the evening goes by it goes to PG-13 and ultimately, R, so we try to get back to the hotel before 9 p.m. After spending the day at the hotel, using the pool, resting in the room we ventured out again for dinner. This time to New York New York hotel where the interior of the casino is made to look like the streets of New York City and is even divided into boroughs. The Brooklyn Bridge sits outside the casino and Brooklyn’s Delancy Street is off to the side in the casino where Greenburg’s Deli serves the best corned beef and pastrami on marble rye bread you have ever eaten. Actually, one sandwich feeds us both more than sufficiently.

After our stay this time, we decided unless someone gives us a really good reason to come back, this is probably our last trip to Las Vegas. The world has gotten crazy, and Vegas didn’t need more; it was already crazy enough. Tomorrow, we leave for Prescott, AR to stop and see our Granddaughter Rebekah at Emory-Riddle University.
