Visiting Las Vegas for Fun and a Shot

[Rockheart]

There is a Korean BBQ place nearby, very cheap at $15 per plate.
Some other sites from nearby including a cheaper weed store.
There is weed taxis everywhere.

We decided to go downtown and check out the Fremont st. Experience. It is nearby famous hotels like The Dunes and Golden Nugget.
They have music and laser light shows plus bands daily, it is a long fancy strip. Saw the famous "Heart Attack Grill", over 350lbs eats free.

We decided to walk further down and saw the old El Cortez hotel. It advertised $14.99 prime rib dinner and the loosest slots in town, so we gave it a try.
The Prime rib was great for the price and we played some slots. I won over $400 right away then Fernanda won another $1000 quite quickly, they also bring free drinks like crazy at the El Cortez. Much better and cheaper than the strip. May stay downtown next trip.

Of course we had to go to Rupauls Drag Race Live. Fernanda loved it and was hooting and hollering the whole time. I thought it was pretty entertaining.

So we had to go find a Covid PCR test to go to Canada this week. So I found a $90 PCR test at the Orleasns hotel and Casino off strip but it was very hard to find in the back of the parkade. After our test we walked over to part of the strip we had not seen yet. We saw Excalibur, New York New York, Luxor and Mandalay bay plus more.

We flew from Las Vegas to Vancouver Canada.
I had uploaded all our Vaccine information in the Canada Covid app.
When we got to the border there was no problem with Fernandas vaccines or immigration.
They just made us take another PCR test on arrival, which was negative.

Now Fernanda has seen snow the first time.

Whoa!whoa!whoa!!! What excellent shots. I was going to ask you about the Vegas Shows. I did see the Mystere Sow twice. Those opening drums above is so LOUD. I have seen the the Crazy Horse at the MGM Grannd, the Beatles Love, the ontoversial Chinese Cadaver show, KA and the David Copperfield magician show both at the MGM Grand, "O" water show, and more. I saw you Sigfried and Roy Animal magic show before the terrible accident. And eventually their passing. The very best show on earth. Kent Kerr's trans show surprised me when I developed an erection. Been visiting Vegas as far back as 1970 when I was a young snow skier from Honolulu. I was 22 then. Your photos inspire me to revisit next year when the weather warms up and after the Spring Break. Otherwise way too crowded.

BTW the dark photos of the Japanese drummer is excellent..was that from your Canon 90D. What lense? On auto f-stop and timing. I still have my 80D and Sony RX100 iII since 2013. Not sure if it's time to upgrade since everything still works. Still gotta wait till next November to jet to Thailand. Since the ladyboy scenes in Pattaya and Bangkok are almost non-existant on YouTube I don't know what's going on there. If there's anybody on the ground in LOS can you tell me if there's a good number of ladyboys on Sukhumvit, Nana plaza, Pattaya Beachwalk, and Bhukao Street. I don't want to fly there and discover I wasted my time and money. Come guys, tell me what exactly the ladyboy scene is really like.

All photos were taken with an Iphone 12.

We saw David Copperfield on our last night, it was very disappointing.

Las Vegas is made to suck all your money......

That's why I stopped going to Vegas. Very few newer Circuz du Soleil shows to justify flying all the way from Hawaii. Plus I don't gamble at all. Can't drink makes me very sick. Hope you're enjoying your company with your Brazilian hottie. Fernanda is just as beautiful as the best Ladyboys I've seen during my 8 trips to Thailand.

snow2.jpg Have you taught Fern about snow ball fights yet ??
I'v noticed many of the peeps from tropical countries really enjoy the IDEA of playing in the snow...but have never heard their long term reactions...??? snow1.jpg

Fernanda is not as excited about cold weather anymore. I threw one snowball but the snow here is not so good yet, melting and freezing.
I has been down to -17 so far but no good blizzards. She already put up our Christmas tree we got from Walmart.

Try Google Honolulu weather. Endless summer here. Paradise. Come December 1 Governor Ige changed the rules. Restaurants and bars wil end social restrictions and can now fill every dining table. This is good for local businesses and tourism. Now the long lines of diners can see some speed in being seated. Alamoana Shopping Center was packed to the gills on Black Friday yesterday. Still is and there has been little supply line backups here.

So if Fernanda hates the extreme cold up in Canada you can both just find a Chritmas package plan online or make reservations via Expedia or Orbitz. Believe me you'll absolutely love Hawaii. If you plan to come, don't just stay in Waikiki. Visit the outer islands of Maui, Kauai, and the big island of Hawaii. Just ask me for answers or advice.

Winter is only good for short exposures at a time (weeks, not months). Glad she was able to visit Canada, watch out or the next purchase might be a ring! 😉

You might want to take George's Hawaii recommendation under consideration if it gets down to -20 C for a long stretch.

We have return tickets to both Vegas and Mexico. Hawaii is too far and expensive compared to Mexico.
Fernanada also has a return Ticket from Cancun to Brazil in the queue.

We plan on skiing in Canada so probably will stay here for a while.

There was already a ring, so the next purchase may be an Iphone 13......

Good for you and Fernanda. Enjoy life and live like there's no tomorrow. Please keep taking lots of pictures. I love them. When you get to Vegas, do enjoy reading KA show at the MGM Grand Hotel. You'll be amazed at the huge platform that rotates in everstupendous n. Even vertical. I'm guessing it's a spupendous 80 feet tall and 60 get wide. All operated by computer. Do also see the Cirque de Soleil's LOVE at the Mirage Hotel and "O" at the Bellagio with the wonderful dancing water fountains. Fernanda must have been so fascinated to come and see this gorgeous desert wonderland built by Bugsy Siegel and the Italian mafia. I do plan to return to Vegas but not in the middle of winter. Way too cold for me. About your upcoming wedding do have someone take lots of pics. Not selfies. I remain fascinated by your lifestyle of the rich and famous. Keep on trucking.
