New Mexico Roadtrip Day 10-12: Las Vegas-Red Rock Canyon

Super tuesday election day: I had booked Bally’s Hotel the night before.
These final three days I wanted to relax from the long hours of sitting and driving in the rental car. The last time I had visited the Stratosphere tower platform was 2001. Now it was time again. Before I had I stopped at the Sahara hotel for some shots and a hotel tour. On the Strtaosphere tower I do some shots of the rides, the view into the mountains, and the view to the strip.

After Stratosphere I checked in for two nights in the NewYork-NewYork Hotel, which I had liked two years ago. Wednedsday in the morning, after breakfast Buffet at Bellagio I hiked for three hours in the red rock canyons, callico hills 1, 2, 3. Callico hills is a climbing spot. Wednesday evening I had show tickets for the Crazy girls show in Riviera, which I found  a little bit boring.

 


Thursday my last day in USA: Early in the morning, I visited again the Red Rock Canyon for a three hour hike in Ice box canyon. After Red Rock I enjoyed driving randomly around in the streets of Las Vegas and stopping here and there for some shots or shopping or a Starbucks Drive-In.

 

In the evening, knowing it was my last night I went to a movie and finally I wanted to gamble for ten dollars: Won 90 dollars.

 

 

Friday Feb 8th: My Flight back to Germany via Philadelphia.
