tanithryudoGot up way too early and ended up waiting for 2+ hours in the airport.
Arrived in Vegas around noon is, which was too early for hotel check-in. So we grabbed a quick lunch at the food court and bought tickets for the 2 pm presentation at The Sphere. The short walk from taxi drop off zone to the building felt like we were eggs in a simmering pot.
My uncle surprisingly had fun with the Aura robots before the show. The show itself was very nicE. The huge screen encompassing the entire dome created 3D effects without needing special glasses. The only complaint I have is in a intro about Earth, none of the geographical locations nor people shown were East Asian. Lots of representation of India, middle-east, Europe, North America... But nothing from China, or even Japan, Korea, Vietnam... Tsk.
After the show, instead of braving the heat in the parking lot for a ride share, we took an indoor sky bridge to The Venetian, and then got a taxi there back to our hotel at the Excalibur.
For the evening, it turned out all shows for the Cirque were sold out. So we ended up doing a magic show by David Copperfield. Have to admit it was fun. I'm sure a lot of the jokes went over my uncle/cousins' heads. But the magic demos were impressive.
Tomorrow, the tour bus for the grand canyon leaves early. We tried to buy some stuff for breakfast ahead of time, but... Eh. Seems like Vegas just doesn't do breakfast.
