Viva Las Vegas







We had an uneventful drive from West Valley to Las Vegas. Not much traffic again, and nice blue skies. M had expressed a desire to stay at the Luxor in Las Vegas, not in the Towers but in the Pyramid itself.
We drove down the strip, still a lot of building going on, and of course a lot of people and traffic.
The Luxor is an Egyptian themed casino built like a pyramid. After we registered, we went to the elevator as we were in the 13th floor. The elevators at the Luxor are called "inclinators" because it goes up in a diagonal line. It felt like it was moving sideways rather than up and down.
When we got to our room I felt like the ground was moving, M had the same feeling. Maybe it was because the window was angled downward, and the room was odd shaped. In spite of it we slept well!
After we rested a while we went out to explore, and took a few pictures (check my Facebook). We ate at the Pyramid Cafe and had a lovely dinner. Neither M nor I liked the featured entertainers (Carrot Top and Criss Angel - a T's favorite) so we just went to the Casino where we proceeded to lose a few dollars lol.
After a goodnight rest, we left Las Vegas, and we arrived home to La Mirada mid afternoon. M went to take a well deserved nap, and I went out to water my herb garden.
We decided we will not stay at the Luxor -the Pyramid side anyway- on our next Las Vegas trip. Although it was quite an interesting experience.
