AJ's Day out 4: Sunset


As with all good things in life, unfortunately, it all must inevitably come to a close eventually. Antho's day out, which saw him wandering through Harrah's, the Linq Promenade and the Flamingo's Wildlife Habitat before eventually winding back to the Linq for sunset was a fun ride and the photos have been fun to find. It's always illuminating to see the world through someone else's eyes and photography is an excellent medium for doing so. I'm glad I handed off my camera to Antho and I hope you enjoy seeing these photos, as I have.  This is our Vegas, not the one you're likely to see advertised in the glossy print advertisements that bombard any freeway facing our city for 800 miles or so around, or the adverts that pop up on Facebook as you're planning your trip. Every experience is what you make of it, really, isn't it?


Another way to gain a different perspective, quite literally, is to hop on the 550-foot tall High Roller Observation wheel that stands proudly (and often quite colorfully) at the end of the Linq promenade. Antho and I rode it back when it first opened, years ago, but I don't think I got photos. We'll definitely make it back up there again in the future! It's not terribly expensive and they have all sorts of package deals and promotions depending on where you stay and what you want to do in the observation wheel itself. There's even an open bar package, though inevitably that's going to cost a pretty penny for the unlimited flow of booze. I imagine that's more for the, ahem, high rollers themselves who have the bankroll or the luck at the tables to consider the cost insignificant.  Personally, we don't have that kind of money, but if you do then have at it! There are so many things to do in this city, and so many ways to have fun, at any budget. Antho opted to spend most of the evening relaxing and people watching as the sun sunk behind the horizon and he waited for my shift to come to an end. It wasn't a bad day, not at all.  





















Until next time~
