Another year, another long driving vacation. (Didn’t I write that last year too?) This year, 1640 miles, but only 3 states (NV, AZ, UT). We flew into Las Vegas (took in a show), drove past the Hoover Dam, spent four nights in Flagstaff and visited many sites including the Grand Canyon and Antelope Canyon, drove north into Utah for Bryce and Zion National Parks before heading back to Vegas for the return flight.
After landing in Las Vegas, we went to the half-price ticket resellers to buy tickets to Cirque du Soleil Mystère (pronounced myst-air). The show was a combination of gymnastics and ballet on steroids. It could have had less filler, but when the acrobats were doing their thing, it was pretty good.
Lunch was at Harrah’s buffet. It wasn’t as good as we remembered, but that didn’t stop us from consuming our money’s worth.
Here we are on the Strip in front of the The Mirage.
