Jet lag notwithstanding, a wonderful time in Las Vegas celebrating Beryl's 85th birthday. My first visit to Vegas and I was not sure what to expect. What I got was entertainment with sights and sounds and tastes and smells - a sensory experience, I would not say always a delight! The best thing, though, as ever, is being with family. There is that wonderful and amazing ease that comes with meeting up with family members, even distant ones, after a number of years and it feeling as if we only saw each other yesterday. Some catching up is inevitable but I love the comfort factor of family.
Over a few short days we did breakfast for $3.95 and brunch for $30. We caught buses and went shopping. We had a celebration meal at the top of the Stratosphere, Italian in the Cosmopolitan and constant supplies of Starbucks and MacDonalds. Our gambling experience was limited to penny slots and $1 poker games. We did not return US dollar millionaires but more or less broke even. Beryl loved her early morning balloon ride over the Grand Canyon and photographs show 8 content adults in the biggest theme park for adults that I have ever seen.
