This post won’t have any pictures because for this day I did not take any pictures of Vegas, as my focus on the trip was for landscape imagery. Today was one of the days we were finally able to sleep in and where the trip starts to slow down for a period of time. We had no deadlines in the near future to meet anyone (for about 3 weeks), so we decided (and had planned) to take our time here. Today we had to get Marlon and his wife Dainora to the airport, however I had a few things to take care of first.
When I was in Tampa planning for my trip I ended up buying a timeshare presentation package from Bass Pro Shop. For $200 I received three free nights in any property that they owned and $150 in pro shop credit as well as a free cruise! The only stipulation is I had to sit through a presentation.
This day is the day of the presentation. As an extension of this, the New York, New York hotel we were staying at was a property they were affiliated with, and our stay was complimentary (excluding taxes) with this presentation.
I slept until about 11:30 and got up to go to the timeshare presentation. This really is not part of the trip but it was actually a great way to get three free nights of hotels for all of us. Our first two guests and Marlon and his wife had to leave this night so we ended up taking them to the airport by 4pm and then me, Ashley,Brandon and Savanna went out for the rest of the day. We took an hour to get ready and then our game plan was to go grab dinner with a coupon they gave us from the timeshare presentation. We went to Señor Frogs and enjoyed 50% off alcohol and food. From there we decided to check out a speakeasy called the Laundry Room which was one of the best speakeasies of the whole trip. This place has a certain number you must text to get in and fortunately my girlfriend was able to find the number.
This is located in the Commonwealth Bar in the Fremont District of Las Vegas. It was actually our first time going to Fremont as well. From this point we decided to go to Mandalay Bay to check out the hotel. After doing a few more bar hops and bouncing from hotel to hotel we were tired and ended up going back to our room. Now after all of this we finally got some good sleep and were ready for the next day.
