Day 9 of 2024

Goodbye, Nevada, until next time.

And before we leave Las Vegas and go home, 

I want to note this one thing I've never seen before that is so smart. 

Do you see the little lights above the cars in this parking garage? 

Those red and green lights are not just pretty decorations for Christmas. 

They indicate whether a spot is full or available. 

So helpful! 

I wish every parking garage would have them.

 

Day 8 of 2024

Our very helpful check-in agent was also able

 to confirm for me that this was indeed Chihuly glass. 

I wanted to make sure to get a picture but was certain that waiting

 until tomorrow morning would be another bad idea. 

Our flight leaves at 6:00 AM which means arrive by 4:00, 

leave the hotel by 3:30 to get there and return the rental car. 

I imagine we will only be getting a couple hours of sleep.

 

Day 7 of 2024

When we checked in yesterday

 we saw this big beautiful area that was decorated with a Nutcracker theme. 

The agent that helped us with check-in remarked 

that we were lucky it was still up and that we got to see it. 

We got back from our party so late, 

we decided to take a look in the morning. 

I had a funny feeling that this might not be the best decision. 

This morning when we walked through this area, sure enough, 

there were cranes everywhere taking it all apart. 

There were Christmas trees that were half undecorated. 

This was the best I could do to get a shot without a crane in it. 

It was really beautiful regardless.

 

Day 6 of 2024

Fireball and I are visiting Las Vegas for a few days. 

A family member is having a very special birthday

 and we have events to attend all weekend. 

This is the view we came back to after tonight's party.
