We drove back south to Vegas from Hurricane in the morning. It was about a 2 1/2 hour drive with beautiful Utah landscapes. We were surprised to see that the Virgin River in St George is dry. We read that all of the increased population along with several other factors including climate change create dry conditions from time to time. They are struggling to ensure there’s enough water as more people move to the area
When we arrived at Park MGM our room was not ready so we decided to take a walk up the strip. The casinos are just so large and amazing.
After the walk to Caesar’s we took the Aria tram back to Park MGM and walked over to NYNY for a bite to eat at Tom’s Watch Bar. The food was typical pub food and just ok.
After lunch we played some pai gow and slots before changing to head out for the night. We started our night at the Beerhaus in NYNY.
We were getting hungry so headed over to Nine Fine Irishmen, the Irish pub in NYNY. The food was good but bartender not so good. He passed my empty glass for more than 10 minutes after which I was so annoyed we cashed out and left. Food was pretty good and we were stuffed.
Our next stop was planned to be the piano bar but they had a private event in part of the venue and were charging a $10 cover to stand. No thanks I’m not standing all night. So….we decided to play some pai gow at NYNY. We had a good time chatting with another player, a guy from Minnesota – don’t cha know! On our way back to our room we stopped in Park MGM casino to play a bit more pai gow.
We had a fun day! Alex’s watch said we did 16,000 steps and mine said 14,000 despite the fact that we were together the whole day so I guess the truth lies somewhere in between like most things at 15,000. We were up a little gambling for the first day so went to sleep happy.
Good night from Vegas….
