Tuesday, January 14, 2014, Las Vegas, NV

We met the Cavagnaro's at the LVH and bought tickets to ride the Monorail.  Our plan was to get off at the stations and look for geocaches along the Strip.  The tickets we bought were good for 24 hours and allowed us to get off and on as many times as we wanted.  The plan sounded good.  In practice we did a lot of walking.  The monorail runs behind the hotels and most of the caches were closer to Las Vegas Blvd.  Getting to the caches involved a lot of walking.  Also the monorail doesn't stop at all of the hotels.

We did find four caches and had lunch at Carlos and Charlies in the Flamingo Hotel.

When we got to the LVH station Bill and Elaine headed home and we stayed on the monorail.  We went back to the MGM and went to the preview of a proposed new TV show.  I thought it was pretty bad, and a wasted 40 minutes.  We went back to the LVH and got our car.  We then drove to Battista's Hole In The Wall for dinner.  Battista's has been a Las Vegas fixture for 30 years.  Like most of the places we have been to this week, we have not been there for years. After dinner we went back to the Vacation club and called it a night.

One good thing about all of our walking, I got my 10,000 steps, 2 days in a row.
