Day 1, April 25
The drive to Vegas from La Mirada was pleasant and uneventful. Stopped in Barstow for lunch at Panda Express and Baker for a restroom break. Dek and I took turns driving.
I haven’t been to Vegas for a vacation for at least 10 years, and I don’t think I’ll be back again for another 10. Traffic was terrible and the streets were very crowded. Everything was artificially over the top.
It took us 40 minutes to reach Polo Towers once we exited the 15. We initially had a problem checking in as my cousin was the one who reserved the room for us but that was quite readily resolved. Our room is a big one bedroom suite with a living room and a fully-equipped kitchen.
After unpacking and resting, Dek and I walked to Ceasar’s Palace to explore ‘The Forum’, a shopping and restaurant complex. Ate Maryland crab cakes and lamb chorizo pizza at Wolfgang Puck’s Spago. The food was good not really outstanding. And expensive. I thought my crab cake was $12 (I ordered from the appetizer menu) but turned out to be $20.
We then met Carlo for dessert. We had frozen hot chocolate and banana split at Serendipity. This is the same Serendipity as in New York, but does not taste the same, as per Carlo.
Looking forward to the real start of our vacation tomorrow….
