David came home from the airbase Tuesday with exciting news. They had completed all their testing and we were cleared to head on our way! We had already made plans and reservations just in case they were successful this week. Our only regret is we can’t leave until Monday since that is the earliest we had reservations in Arizona for.
Leslie had one last thing she wanted to do before we left Las Vegas, and that was to see the water show in front of the Bellagio Casino. The shooting water show is world famous and is a marvel of engineering and choreography of music, light and water. We decided to combine a visit to the Bellagio with one final trip to SoulBelly BBQ. This time we were smarter and split a two meat combo meal (the portions are large). Then we drove down the length of the Las Vegas Strip marveling at the amount and variety of lights on the hotels, casinos and restaurants. We found parking in the Bellagio parking garage and strolled down to the lake in front to catch the show. The show runs every 30 minutes before 8PM and we got there just as the 7:30 show ended. So we picked out a nice spot on the railing and leaned back to watch the crowd passing on the sidewalk. Show girls in skimpy outfits and lots of feathers trying to entice people to buy a photo with them, venders selling drinks and blinking globes, people of all ages, races and genders walking along the Las Vegas Strip. Watching the people was almost as entertaining as the water show. Finally the water show began and we were amazed at the water shooting 40 feet in the air in perfect formation and in synchronization with the music. Definitely a Las Vegas must see. Following the water show we decided to get away from the increasingly dense sidewalk crowds (wearing very few masks, but neither were we) and headed back to the Wanderer.
