Thanksgiving Trip - Day 8
This was our last full day in Vegas, and we had originally planned to visit the Grand Canyon. We had first researched the west side - where the newly built SkyWalk seemed promising. It was only reported to be a 3 hour drive, but upon further snooping it was obvious that the drive was much more complicated. In addition to the fact that there is currently no infrastructure (i.e. dirt roads, no visitor center), the travel blogs and message boards that I found indicated that the $75 price tag was not worth the trouble. It sounds like they are several years off from it being a good visit. We'll try another time. Instead, our family decided to check out some more sights on the Strip. We had brunch at the Flamingo Hotel - with a perfect view of live flamingos and then walked over to Caesar's Palace to see the shops and fountains. We stayed until late in the afternoon and then headed back to the hotel. We had a nice dinner at Joe's Crab Shack and went to bed early...
