To Las Vegas December 20, 2015

We had an 830 flight from Dulles which meant getting up about 430am to catch a 530am shuttle van.

We boarded the plane nicely but there seemed to be a problem with the emergency radio so we had to unboard. Then, they found the maintenance and testing documents for the radio and discovered that everything was OK. So we got back on the plane.

The WIFI on the plane didn't work and the cabin officials had us play airplane games. One game was to guess the combined age of the stewardesses. Another was a form of bingo. The image showed a little girl grabbing dollar bills from a bag to determine the winners. 

To make up for the torment of the boarding process, we got free alcoholic drinks. 

Anyway, we got to Las Vegas a few hours behind schedule.

We were hungry and went to a kosher place not too far from where we were staying. It was called Shwarma Vegas.

The image is from the restaurant's website. This same guy was at the place and took our orders.

After that we went to an Albertson's just across the street from the Shwarma place and bought groceries for our hotel stay.

By the time we got to the hotel, we were pretty tired.  

We walked around a bit in the vicinity of the hotel. 

The hotel charged us for the premium (not refuseable) of getting free trips to the top of the tower and use of the pool, fitness room, hot water tub and some other things. The indoor pool and hot water tub were being repaired and we didn't have access to them. 

We paid extra for a refrigerator and I was willing to do so for a microwave but they didn't make them available - nor was there a coffee machine in the room (we got a super discount via Orbitz). 

Anyway, after getting this info and planning out some activities for the next few days, we called it a day (it was about 7pm local time but we had been up for a lot of hours).
