Sharon and Laura's Las Vegas Adventure - Day #4

After an unsatisfactory breakfast at La Creperie in the Paris Hotel, Sharon started to wind her way back home. She ended up getting a Smashburger at the airport. Sharon was booked on a 12:50 pm Southwest flight to Sacramento. Leaving almost twenty minutes late, the flight was on the ground in Sacramento about 2:40 pm.

It took more than thirty minutes for her luggage to show up. Catching an Uber, she was home in Carmichael just before 4 pm.

Sharon and Laura's Las Vegas Adventure - Day #3

After a late breakfast at Cafe Americano at Caesars Palace, Sharon and Laura spent the bulk of the day on a hiking tour of the Valley of Fire. Sharon said that they covered about two miles.
They finished the day with dinner at Sinatra Italian Restaurant at the Wynn. Sharon had Ossobuco “My Way” [braised veal ossobuco, saffron risotto Milanese, gremolata], while Laura had vegan Mushroom Milanese [lightly breaded pan fried mushroom-almond ricotta pancake, tomato fonduta, tricolor salad].

Sharon and Laura spent the day in Las Vegas, including:
  • a light lunch overlooking the strip at the Paris Hotel;
  • there was supposed street closures for a F1 fan event;
  • touring Titanic: The Artifact Exhibition at the Luxor;
  • dinner at SushiSamba in the Venetian; and,
  • attending the Earth, Wind and Fire concert at the Venetian.
Sharon said that they walked more than ten miles!

I finished the day watching the Dusty Baker and the Astros win a deciding game six of the World Series against the Phillies.

Sharon and Laura's Las Vegas Adventure - Day #1

Sharon and Laura are spending a long weekend in Las Vegas celebrating Laura's birthday. After some swirl, I took Sharon to the airport. It was a good thing; the parking garage, hourly parking and day lot were all full and closed.

Sharon caught a 1:05 Southwest flight to Burbank. Her flight from Burbank to Las Vegas was delayed more an hour. She was finally on the ground in Las Vegas at 5:50 pm.

They are spending three nights are the Paris Hotel. They had dinner at True Foods Kitchen in the Caesar Forum. They split Roasted Acorn Squash Flatbread [truffle honey, lemon almond ricotta, pistachio, calabrian chili, arugula, garlic purée] and Roasted Brussels Sprouts [miso sesame vinaigrette, toasted sesame seed, chili thread].

I bought them tickets to the Cirque du Soleil The Beatles LOVE show at the Mirage. I saw the show by myself when I was at HIMSS in 2018. I have always wanted to take Sharon back.

Sharon and Laura finished a late night with a cocktail in the bar at the hotel.

I finished the day watching Everything Everywhere All At Once.
