So, unlike flying into some places, I'm not worried about arriving at ten o'clock at night. The cabs will be there, the hotel will be ready to check me in. The town is just barely waking up at ten o'clock.
So I have a general, and very flexible, plan for my first night. After my long confined flight, I want to do two things when i get off the plane: walk alot and eat. So I'll settle into my hopefully super-cool room at Planet Hollywood and then run out to eat. Since I'll be so hungry that a quality meal would be wasted, I'll eat for fuel rather than satisfaction. I'm thinking that I'll walk over to the brand-spanking new Metro McDonald's on Harmon Ave. I have my doubts that it's any different than every other McDonald's on earth, but I'll let you know. When I'm sufficiantly stuffed with greasy fast food, I'll start walking. Generally, the plan is to cross over to Caesars, move south to the Cosmopolitan, where I'll sit at the Chandelier Bar and watch the beautiful people walk bye for a bit. Last on my list for night numero one is the Monte Carlo, I like the front bar there. A few rounds of video poker, a beer or two, by that time the adrenaline will have worn off, and I'll start feeling the long day. Maybe 1:00 AM, I'll have one (or two) more beverages at a bar at PH, see the club girls and the other cool kids walking by, see if I can spot the working girls. And then to bed. Call it a bar crawl if you will, it's more of just a walk. With beer stops. Like I said, all plans are flexible, and I'm easily distracted, so there are no guarantees.Since my body never quite catches up with the time change, I'll probably be up at 6:00 AM or so, looking for that big over-the-top breakfast, one of my favorite things about Vegas. And then we will go from there.
Thanks for reading.
