Flight 2/7

Civilised time getting up, ready and out, Uber to the airport and check the bags with Southwestern.

Destination Tucson, about an hours flight which would have been a six hour drive. 

Still had the full safety briefing’in the unlikely event of a water landing’ between Vegas and Tucson’… 🤣





F1 coming to town

Restricted view in front of the Bellagio, and other stands being built along the route. Even opposite the F1 paddock another massive one being built.





Linq

Back to yard ale for food before wandering back down.









Dog Friendly Casino

Seen a few dogs on the gaming floor, this one could have taken small kids for a ride.



Getting back

Battle though the crowds back to the strip for a pint in Beer Haus





Game

Down to the final kick off the ball Raiders needed a FG to win. They fumbled it. 

Proper national anthem sung this time - but no fly by, but a bonus 20 piece Mariachi band

Earth wind and fire halftime meadly. 











Raiders..

Just follow the football shirts down to the Mandalay Bay to the tailgate party. This is more of a Bears Home game. 


Vespa

Our favourite in the Cosmo, 4am at Vespa did disappoint. Watching the brass at work, staff talking about how to deal with a drink high roller buying drinks for everyone, and the polite ejection of some drunk. All happens in the early hours. 

23k steps done..  

Red Ole

Live music country theme, the band had flown in from Nashville. 

Table 777 - best view in the house. 


Sphere

Taxi back to the Flamingo, via the Sphere.  Maybe next time we see the inside.
