Not everyone who tours the Colorado State Capital building is given a PRIVATE tour…but we have “friends in high places”…MILE HIGH places, that is! Hubby’s sister Patricia is an official tour guide at the capital… So she pulled out her official badge to give us inside access, and she gave us […]
The Kitchen Next Door Community Pub – Denver, Colorado
Union Station boasts several choices to dine, and we picked an eclectic pub called The Kitchen Next Door for our lunch. Since the temp outside was about 95 degrees, we opted to eat inside. As we usually do, hubby and I decided to split a sandwich…and Patricia ordered a […]
The Light Rail To Union Station – Downtown Denver, Colorado
Hubby’s Sis Patricia treated us to a day in downtown Denver, and our method of transportation was as smooth as silk. We simply drove to a nearby parking lot where we left her car, and we boarded the Light Rail RTD. Train tickets are purchased from a vending machine next to the […]
The Golden Nugget Hotel – Las Vegas, Nevada
The Golden Nugget is an iconic anchor in downtown Las Vegas….and it’s the perfect location if you want to avoid the miles of walking between hotels and casinos on the Vegas Strip. (Remember…the temp was over one hundred degrees every day during our stay.) The Golden Nugget is located in the heart of Fremont Street. […]
Cadillac Mexican Kitchen & Tequila Bar – Las Vegas, Nevada
Another fine restaurant located within The Golden Nugget… It was the perfect spot to stop to chill out with our friends at the end of each day, before heading up to our rooms on the 21st floor. We LOVED Cadillac’s warm tortilla chips with their queso cheese sauce…and the beer was […]
Fremont Street – Las Vegas, Nevada
You never know WHAT you’ll see on Fremont Street in Vegas…and most of the sights are NOT rated PG…But here are a few glimpses of some of the entertainment. The overhead light show is great, and there is air conditioning directed down to the street. And since the desert sun was brutal and the […]
The Market Street Cafe – Las Vegas, Nevada
About one block from Fremont Street…and a stone’s throw from The Mob Museum (how appropriate!) you will find a great spot for dinner. Especially if you’re craving a salad bar and a huge hunk of prime rib. Check out the Market Street Cafe in the California Hotel… A “local” steered us […]
The Chart House – Las Vegas, Nevada
If you follow my blog daily, you know we LOVE the Chart House in Fort Lauderdale. So we were anxious to try The Chart House in Las Vegas. So…How was it? Our friends LOVED it. And we did too! Fred and I with our dear friends Candy and Rick. What a […]
Bellagio Fountains – Las Vegas, Nevada
One evening we decided to jump on an Express bus and make the 30-45 minute trip from downtown Vegas out to the Strip to see the dancing water display at the Bellagio Hotel. It was a Saturday night…and in hindsight we should have picked a different night, since we figured Saturday is probably the craziest […]
Art Deco Signs – Las Vegas, Nevada
I LOVE old Art Deco signs…and a stroll around downtown Las Vegas is like stepping back in time. So join me for a quick tour… I LOVE this old Cowboy!!! (I remember him from the 1950’s!) I wanted to get this photo without the ambulance…But since it was sitting outside the restaurant called The […]
