Started in 2001 in NYC, the Shake Shack has become known as one of the great burger joints. The now have a place in Las Vegas, at the New York New York Hotel & Casino so I gave it a try. Yeah, a good burger but the crinkle cut fries were a bit of a disappointment.
At the Flamingo Hilton, of course!
Normally, when I stay in Downtown Las Vegas, I’ll take the bus to the strip. However, this morning I decided to walk. For future reference, the walk down Las Vegas Boulevard from Fremont Street to “Center Strip” (around Harrah’s) is about four miles.
Some photos from along the way…
My room at The Golden Nugget
On my way to Las Vegas!
I’ve been retired for over two years now, and one thing I told myself I’d do is visit Vegas at least twice as year, which I’ve so far accomplished. Sometimes I drive but for this trip, I chose to fly.
Staying at the Golden Nugget, right on the Fremont Street Experience in Downtown Las Vegas. Some people like staying on the strip but prefer downtown. If the strip is a classy cocktail lounge, downtown is a gritty dive tavern – my kinda place.
Mostly I’ll spend time wandering around the big casinos, they always seem to change. And, of course, lots of eating!
The old steam power plant in the Georgetown neighborhood of Seattle, WA (at the north end of Boeing Field). Open for tours every other Saturday.
Since retirement, travel has become the top priority in my life. I normally post travel activities and photos on Facebook, but I’ve decided to go with a dedicated travel blog website. Amazingly lucky to find john-wines.com
I’m currently not traveling, so here’s a photo of home:
I may post non-travel entries now and then and will usually link to this page from Facebook.
