I must be honest. I have been overdoing it, a lot. My legs are like jelly. I have walked, rested in my room, got back up and walked some more. A couple of things about the Las Vegas strip I don’t like. One, they do not have any fucking benches on the strip. I did not see a single one between all my walking Thursday and yesterday. I did see a couple in the alley between the Linq and Margaritaville. That doesn’t count because it is a section that takes you off the strip. I guess they think that people are going in and out of the casinos so why bother. And I get that, kinda. But to get into some of the casinos is a pretty far walk. Give us a place to rest and recharge for a minute, dammit!
The second thing I don’t like is you can smoke in the casinos. Ugghhh!!! No offense smokers, but if you don’t smoke the smell is disgusting and overpowering to the senses. That truly threw me for a loop because I had no idea. I appreciate that the restaurants do not allow smoking. It gives a reprieve for the smoke. Now I did appreciate the cigar bar. It is a closed in area so you are not smelling the smoke. Next time I will take advantage of that. I don’t mind smoke in that setting because I am voluntarily exposing myself and partaking as well. I am not just walking around being bombarded with smoke in the face. Lol.
As I mention I did a good deal of walking and picture-taking. Here is few pics.
Ok last one.
Ok I lied, one more lol
The highlight of my day was ziplining at the FlyLinq at the Linq Hotel and Casino. They have morning and evening ziplining. I picked an evening time due to the heat and the sun, which are both not my fans. Also, I love lights so the evening time really worked for me. There was a few different ways to go across the zipline. You could go across sitting down facing frontwards or backwards. Or you could go across in the Superman pose, laying flat, frontwards or backwards as well. I chose the sitted position facing frontward this time. Next time I will do the Superman pose. Not sure if I will choose front or back. This was the one thing I definitely wanted to do this trip and I am happy that I did. I can cross it off my bucket list.
Now here is a bit of information for those who are interested in this attraction. All of your belongings need to be able to fit in a bag that they are going to attach to your person. I had an issue because my walking stick didn’t go down far enough to fit in the bag. I had to leave it with the people who checked me in. This also meant I had to walk all the way back to get it. Lol. Yea, I probably just looked drunk walking so I fit in with everyone. The other thing to note is once you have completed your ride there is not an elevator to take you back down. Lots of steps. Lots! You can of course purchase pics of yourself on the ride and the ones they take before the ride. I didn’t at the time but I may later off the website. Only if they are cute though 😂😂😂.
The other thing I would recommend is purchasing your tickets online. It saves you $5. Have you been to Vegas and ziplined on the FlyLinq? What way did you go down? Would you do it again? Please share your experience in the comments. Continue to be well and whole everyone.
