Las Vegas, NV (USA)
Flew from Atlanta, bound for Las Vegas! Stopped for fuel [at Shreveport Regional ?] and picked up dinner at Subway (1830L). [Rest of the flight itinerary uncertain.] Arrived at [McCarron Airport] after dark. After we put the plane to bed, we got a ride to the Excalibur. Wow!!! It was stunning, really, to see all the activity and entertainment possibilities. This was actually my first time in Las Vegas as an adult (my previous experience as a teenager in 1984 was much different, of course). Met everyone for dinner at the hotel buffet (2100L). After we were done, we walked around the Strip. The other guys have visited the city much more often and they showed me the major highlights. We ended up at a bar at New York-New York, watching the traffic and people. I'm glad it wasn't the middle of the day - because it was REALLY hot, even after 2200! Went to bed late...
