We really didn't get into the city until this date. Allegiant Airlines really screwed up last night trying to get us here. There are three daily flights from Bellingham. We were booked on the 4:25 one. It never came although the passengers were told several times it was almost arriving. The late flight had extra room so after mayhem and confusion, we ended up on it. We flew with only carry on luggage which is one reason we made it on board. Others were promised luggage might arrive after two or three days. Way to go! At around 9:10 we eventually left the tarmac and arrived in Las Vegas at about quarter to midnight. That was about four and a half hours later than scheduled but, hey, Las Vegas is open 24 hours a day. Bus 180 was an easy trip up to Riviera along Paradise Road. We checked into Circus Circus well past midnight.
We got up late but walked to the Sahara for a breakfast buffet that sort of morphed into lunch while we were there. We spent the day traversing the Strip and trying to note all the changes during six years of absence. The city does a good job of reinventing itself every six months, so there were lots of changes.
We also ended up downtown for several of the Fremont Street shows. I might consider staying in the old heart of the city on the next stay. The Duece, double-decker bus plying Las Vegas Boulevard is easy. It cost $5 for unlimited travel for 24 continuous hours.
