Monday 2/3/25
Allegiant Flight 58 direct from Peoria to Las Vegas delayed by about 40 minutes left a little before 10 pm. $65 flight got us there, and you get what you pay for. Uncomfortable narrow seats, no carryon bags (we carried everything we need for a week in a small backpack), no pretzels or even water. My assigned seat was between Mike and a stocky guy with broad shoulders. I was pinned and squished until we moved to an empty row behind us where I had a window and Mike had the aisle. Arrived at 11:30 pm local time (1:30 am Illinois time). Gambling machines even in the airport. You can gamble while you’re waiting for your luggage.
Rented a lovely blue Dodge Charger and drove the strip. It surprised me. I thought it would be glitzy and overstimulating but it was spectacular and even beautiful.
My favorite part was Sphere. I could watch the outside of it for hours, and we didn’t even go in!
I expected to hate Vegas but I actually really liked it. I expected to feel a heavy demonic presence but actually felt God’s presence and love. Vegas is bigger and more mountainous than I thought it would be. I was picturing it all wrong in my imagination. Checked into a Days Inn by the airport around 1:30 am. (3:30 am IL time)
