We left our apartment early at 5 a.m. and took a connecting flight from Newark to Atlanta then on to McCarran International Airport in Las Vegas.
Atlanta, Georgia from the plane
After a 1.5 hour lay-over in Atlanta we reached our final destination and the first thing you see when you step off the plane into the terminal...
Yes, I am not kidding. Slot machines at the arrival/departure hall of the airport. Man, they really start you off early and even try to make you loose your last penny right before you leave :(
We checked-in to our hotel at the northernest tip of Las Vegas Boulevard. A very nice and towering building - Strastosphere Hotel & Casino. Standing at 1, 149 ft it is the tallest free standing observation tower in the U.S. and the tallest building west of the Mississippi River.
For those extreme thrill seekers, you can enjoy excitement over 100 stories above the ground on the Big Shot, X-Scream and Insanity thrill rides. Yup, it's all on top of this hotel. I will write more about this unique & one an only amusement park in the clouds later :) Be patient y'all!
