A Great time to be in Indy!

Have you heard? The Super Bowl will be played in Indy on Sunday!!
With that being the case, we decided to head downtown with our dear friends in from DC. We were all very impressed with the massive signage on all the buildings around town, the activities in the streets connecting all the sports venues, and especially the friendly volunteers placed everywhere to improve the flow of foot traffic, and answer questions. After seeing the Zipline up close, I'm happy we pre purchased tickets for game day. Having just returned from a fun Vegas jaunt, I naturally compared the two experiences. Las Vegas certainly has things that Indy does not -
as seen here - an overabundance of red velvet for one.
The pink Cadillac being driven by Elvis (or his look alike) following the extended Hummer limo with a working open air hot tub in the back to name another.
Garth Brooks at the Wynn Hotel
(our 60th floor view from our floor to ceiling window)
was surprisingly entertaining for all types of music lovers. We even had a chance to go into the Pawn Stars shop - Gold and Silver, but sadly, Chumley was no where to be seen. Other than that, I believe the corn fields of Indiana rival the rocky desert terrain of Nevada anyday!
After walking 7 miles on the Strip, I decided a view from the top of the Stratosphere and a thrill ride would be in order. Be sure to experience that if you find yourself in Vegas with time on your hands.
Have a great week!
