Even the fountains are getting into the spirit! This season was an epic one for Las Vegas's Golden Knights hockey team, and the city has really rallied behind them as they rose through the ranks. It's pretty cool to see the city so unified and excited about something, and as the season progressed more of our local landmarks got into the fun with their own gear. While I, personally, aren't much of a sports fan, I have to admit it was fun to watch from the sidelines as the hardcore fans cheered and jumped with excitement at each turn of the game. My current day job has me quite close to a sports bar, and Antho will hang out and explore the nearby area so he gets to see the game from a few spots around the Linq Promenade, so I get to hear the shouts from inside the shop along with a live update from Antho. Sometimes my coworkers, who are fans, will be there and hang by the door hoping to catch the action. Like I said, it's pretty cool to see the city coming together with so much enthusiasm and support for their team. I'm sure it's been an incredible fount of money coming into the city, too, as tickets to the games rapidly soared well outside of my price range and the team's gold and black are ubiquitous throughout gift shops and stands everywhere within the city. I have friends who will rally at the arena outside the games to show their support, which is something I might consider doing in the future seasons. For now, it's fun to see the gear and live vicariously through the reactions of people who know more about sports than I do.
We found ourselves here after watching Deadpool 2 in a theater nearby, and then opting to walk home. Since we were in no particular hurry, we decided to amble down Fremont street and take in the Fremont Street Experience along with a white russian or two. Antho was not much for drinking throughout the majority of our relationship, which was a factor in why I was comfortable leaving to Korea for six months- he's not the kind of guy to go to a party and make a "drunken mistake", as it were. It's only been in recent months that he's started dabbling in drinking again, and the big drink to convert him to accepting a cocktail from time to time was the white russian, thanks to the Big Lebowski. Antho abides, dude. I'm not averse to one from time to time, either, though the dairy doesn't tend to sit well with my system. These things. You can't win them all. The drinks were more expensive than we expected, given the area's somewhat more low-budget vibe compared to the strip. Antho will sometimes go to Casino Royale near Harrah's and get one from their cash-only bar for about $8, and they're pretty strong. Maybe it's just the connection he made with the bartender, though, as Antho does tend to have a habit of making friends with people wherever he goes. 
In the end, it was a lovely evening for a walk and we had a nice time. It's always good to get out and have a date night, isn't it? We find ourselves exploring Fremont street and the Downtown area fairly often due to our proximity to it, but you never know what you'll see!
