5 October 2020 – Las Vegas, Nevada, USA

For our last day of vacation and as a way to split up the long drive home, we stopped for a night in Las Vegas. Back in May, we took a drive through the city because I wanted to see the shut-down strip (from a historical perspective). With most of the hotels, casinos, and resorts open again and new procedures for masks/social distancing, we decided to take a risk and try it out.

We choose to stay at the Cosmopolitan because of a discount Conky had available to her. They also upgraded us to a tower balcony view which may be one of the best I have ever experienced.

We spent the evening walking around, enjoying food/drinks, and doing a little bit of gambling. Half the stores were still closed, but it was still fun. The Strip was still eerily empty compared to what I have seen in the past, but there were definitely more tourists than a few months ago. Most people were respecting the mask and social distancing rules so it seemed safer than other locations.
