Went to The Stage Deli at Caesars Palace Hotel for lunch. Got my fix of Deli food - pastrami on rye,potatoes pancakes, maza ball soup & good pickles.
The plan was to go to the top of Stratosphere Hotel to take pictures after 5:00 pm so that we can get both dust & night pictures. costed $ 10.75 , we had to take the tripods back to the car since it was not allowed. We spent a few hours on top, taking picture, watching crazy people on the ride on top . There are 3 rides - one was closed due to windy condition. Big Shot where you are strapped in an shot up and back down. There is one at the PNE but this is on top of the tower. yikes.Saw the Insanity the Ride , it spins you in the open air then tilt your body facing down 900 feet above ground
Las Veags Strip night shot -01
. Also the X-Scream is like a teeter-tote head first over the edge of the tower. No thanks..
Afterward we went to the new Planet Hollywood Casino (formerly the Aladdin) Miracle Mile shopping (formerly Desert Passage ) for some dinner. Stooped at the Ocean Grill for beers and appetizers.
The complex is in the processing of change from desert scenes to trendy - black tiles with red. The casino was changed. Dancing girls in bikini on top of platform around gaming tables and bars.
Great music in casino.
