A few memories of Las Vegas

 The Luxor. Opened in 1993. I was living off of Pecos and Reno about 12miles East of the strip in 'Tennis Estates' luxury homes.

Now I live directly across from Luxor 12 miles West and can see the luscious light every night as I did in 1993. Its still spectacular! I do love the lights of Las Vegas.

Ive been here as far back as 1987 and I have never not loved the lights of Las Vegas. They are one in a million.

When I first moved to Las Vegas in 1987, I was astounded at the immense light spectacular of the strip. There is nothing like it in the world. I had been visiting way before 1987. My parents in the 70's and 80's would pack all of us into the camper and we would make a road trip to Vegas. We would camp at Circus Circus camp area on strip. They had a pool and lots of fun recreation for kids. Plus the .99 buffet that my Dad would wake us up for at 6 am! He always liked to be first in line as we all were half asleep! Thanks Dad! My Mom was never a fan. She liked her showers and glam. Not happening at the camp site at Circus Circus! But we all loved it! Dad made everything fun! He would give us all a few coins and we would go play games on 2nd floor of CC while he played down below. My poor Mother was not amused, she still isnt to this day! LOL

Just a moment to share. I love seeing the Luxor Light even though I have no interest to go to Strip at this time. I miss the strip, the lights and memories. I hope we can make new memories in Las Vegas soon. I miss all the fun chaos.

See you all soon. We will be here when you want to come visit again.

  1. Your Dad sounds like my kind of guy! Thanks for sharing. In my experience people either love Vegas , or loathe it. I love it and look forward to things returning to normal!

Looks like I will have to make a trip to the strip soon. I pretty much grew up at the Tropicana Hotel. It was my first big show on the strip...
