Sunday night we tried to stay on our feet to help in recovery. We didn't want to go back to the Strip after going back to our hotel and showering, but luckily there was a little bar across the street. We were basically the only ones there. Ordered up some chicken wings, and played a few games of shuffleboard.

Monday we walked the Strip, and went to Serendipity for lunch. Then we walked some more and finally found a sports bar in the NY, NY casino to watch Monday Night Football. Afterward we went to Wolfgang Puck at MGM for dinner. The food was SO delicious! I have been there 3 different times, and loved their food every time.

Tuesday we decided we had spent enough time on the Strip, so instead we rented a car for the day and visited the Hoover Dam! On our way there we stopped for lunch at In-N-Out. This is a West Coast must for those who haven't tried it.

The Hoover Dam is pretty incredible. It is quite the feat of engineering, and incredible to see. I would highly recommend visiting if you are in the area. The drive from Las Vegas is only about 40 minutes. There are two different tour options -- I recommend the more expensive one ($30) because you get to walk through more of the dam, and really see of how it was constructed.

not the greatest panoramic, but still looks pretty cool.
Overall, it was a great trip to Las Vegas! It can be so fun to travel for a race because you get to see more of the area. Already trying to figure out where the next destination race should be! Let me know if you have any good suggestions.
Whenever we go to Vegas we DEFINITELY go to In n Out! It's my favorite fast food place and it's the closest one to home (Portland). :)
ReplyDeleteIf you ever come down to Northern California there are a TON of them! Definitely some of my favorite fast food. If I'm trying to feel more healthy sometimes I get the it protein style (lettuce wrap).
