On Thursday Patrice celebrated her ??? birthday. We decided to celebrate by going to see the Sphere in Las Vegas. We have been told it’s a very special venue so why not use it to celebrate this very special occasion.
I got off work fairly early and we headed east. Traffic was awful, as expected but, we made it to about 130 miles from home in the first 2 1/2 hours when we stopped to get some dinner. Close to the freeway we found HK’s Bar and Grill. The food was fine and the prices reasonable but it was quite clear that we might have been only 130 miles from home but we were light years from our element. At the table next to ours there were some women who were very loud and boasting about their tattoos and body piercings. At the table next them there were a group of men two of which had T-shirts that read “Sons of Trump”.
Well fed we carried on. The traffic varied from heavy to light. Our car said that we could make all the way to the hotel without stopping and still have 3% left in our battery. That didn’t seem like a wise strategy so we stopped at the Super Charger adjacent to “Eddie World” in Yermo, California to charge for a bit. Patrice took the opportunity to use the facilities where she saw this sign in the convenience store.
A couple of hours later we pulled into the lot at the Venetian Hotel and hurried to our room. No surprise that it was gorgeous and that we had to walk through the casino to get there. It’s a well known fact that in every Las Vegas hotel when you are given instructions on how to get somewhere the first sentence is “Walk through the casino……”
Enough for tonight. I would like to tell you about the hotel arrival but my blog editor wants to go to sleep. So that means I must stop writing and leave our arrival story until tommorow.
Ciao
