We have been in Las Vegas for 30 days. We never intended to be here this long. It just happened.
It started with us planning a 4 day stay for free if we sat through a timeshare presentation. We signed up for before we decided on this lifestyle. We stayed at the Hilton Grand Elara. We sat through the timeshare presentation as required and that was it.
One nice thing about the Elara is that it is attached to the Miracle Mile Shops.
While here we ate at Gen Korean BBQ. I really didn’t enjoy it as much as the one in Raleigh. The meat was okay. But the cuts were thicker and they took longer for us to cook them.
We also ate at Pampas. The food was okay. But in all fairness, we did have a free lunch and we didn’t get a chance to try everything.
But, what really stood out about the Miracle Mile was Ocean’s One Grill. $12.99 for 3 drinks and $5.00 - $10.00 for either breakfast, lunch or dinner.
We only stayed at the Elara for 4 days and then went to HVC Cancun Resort. I chose it because it was off the strip and I knew I would be working during the week. The hotel itself was not exciting, it had no vibe and it wasn’t conveniently located near anything. It was cheap though. It had a full, but small kitchen and two bathrooms.
While here, my wife went to various gyms to take and teach fitness classes during the week. On the weekends, we went to see Usher,
Michael Jackson One and MJ Live and Prince
It was unusually cold in Las Vegas. But it did warm up near the time we were planning on leaving to go to Denver. But Denver was still cold. We decided to stay in Las Vegas another three weeks instead.
Now that we knew more about Las Vegas and the strip, we knew where we wanted to stay - close to the Miracle Mile.
After 14 days at the Cancun, we decided to move back on the strip and stay at HVC Polo Towers. It was right across the street from Miracle Mile. The location on the strip was great and everything was in walking distance.
We will probably make Las Vegas an annual pilgrimage.
