Our flight from Chicago was at 7.10am, meaning a very early start from Milwaukee. The alarm went at 3am and we drove the rental car back to Chicago. The flight to Las Vegas gave interesting views of the continent and it was easy to see the extent of the recent snow.
We gained 2 hours by switching to Pacific Time in Las Vegas. It was easy to get a shuttle to Excalibur Hotel where we were staying. After checking in we took a walk along the Strip to investigate the other themed hotels. New York New York, Venice and Caesar’s Palace stood out. It was interesting that all of the Casinos were very easy to get in to but it was really tricky to find your way out – no coincidence I’m sure!
There have been many changes since we were here in 1994 and the place is still growing at a rapid rate. It felt really busy to us, but a taxi driver commented to me that “Thanksgiving weekend was really slow for Las Vegas” – I’d hate to be there when it was crowded then!
