~~~~ Panoramic view of The Strip from the Voodoo Lounge on the 51st floor of Rio ~~~~
Once again we got together with our cruise friends and did a "land" cruise. This time the BBOSB crew was unleashed on the neon city that never sleeps, Las Vegas. We also added another couple who may also join us on a future cruise or two (hint, hint).
We all stayed at Bally's which turned out to be a good location. It's kind of in the middle, especially since the Monorail has been running consistently. It was very convenient and easy to use (except for our foray to Fremont St. which it doesn't go to).
We went up to the Voodoo Lounge to check out the view from their outdoor bar. You can see the whole Strip from here. It may look familiar to CSI fans. I believe they have used it in opening sequences.

Gee, doesn't it look just like Venice? |

Can't take these clowns anywhere |
Stay tuned for our next adventure in October. Since it'll be fall I guess we'll be the BBOFB crew. Or just another bunch of clowns loose on the Caribbean seas. See ya then!
