aloha to Las Vegas! No trip from Colorado to California would be complete without a quick stop in Vegas. I was there over the weekend and stayed at the Westin Casuarina. It is located about a block off the strip on Flamingo Blvd. This was a great location. Being located a block off the strip; I was able to retreat back to my hotel to get some work done after a visit to the strip.
While in town, I was also able to check out the location for the aloft Las Vegas. This property will be located on the corner of Flamingo and Paradise. This should prove to be a great location for business travelers and the casino hungry party-goers.
There was actually a lot going on in Vegas for what the locals considered a slow weekend. The Miss America pageant was in town. The beauty queens and the entourages were a sight not to be missed. Also, it was interesting to see the town stop in its tracks as the Monte Carlo Hotel caught fire. Thankfully, no one was hurt.
