Creator's Key Takeaways

I fly quite a lot these days last year I went on five cruises so that involved a lot of flying to get back and forth

I almost always fly in first class these days and this week is no exception but these first class flights back and forth to Las Vegas only cost me $1 and a bunch of frequent flyer miles

the trash can nachos were absolutely delicious as I knew they would be because I've had the trash can nachos before at several of the guier restaurants that are on board Carnival Cruise ships

I totally loved that my hotel the flamingo was located right next to the link prominade full of great places to eat drink and have fun

Creator's Tips & Advice

βœ“Book a renovated room at the Flamingo Hotel
βœ“Buy food or drinks on higher levels at the Sphere to avoid crowds
βœ“Visit the Link Promenade for reasonably priced dining and entertainment

This is the story of my January 2024 trip to Las Vegas. I flew in first class on United Airlines, and that only cost me $11... plus a bunch of frequent flyer miles I had accrued the previous year going back and forth across the country for five different cruises. While in Las Vegas, I stayed at the Flamingo Hotel... at the suggestion of my friend, Jeff, who lives in Vegas. It was a perfect suggestion and I was so happy to have found a relatively inexpensive hotel in a perfect location on the Las Vegas strip and adjacent to the Linq Promenade... a collection of restaurants, bars, shops, and entertainment venues. A highlight of the trip was eating trash can nachos at Guy Fieri's Vegas Kitchen & Bar. They were just like the ones I had enjoyed in Guy Fieri restaurants on Carnival cruise ships, but a much larger portion size. I also totally loved the 3x3 cheeseburger at In-N-Out in the Linq Promenade. There were also several pleasant surprises in the various airports I visited along the way... delicious barbecued brisket at my hometown airport in Pasco, Washington... fantastic clam chowder at the San Francisco Giants Clubhouse restaurant at SFO... and some of the best French fries I've ever had at Shake Shack in the Denver airport. In addition to visiting Las Vegas in order to get better food than I can find in my hometown, I also came to Vegas to see the show "Postcard From Earth" at The Sphere. It was a very unique experience that I enjoyed very much. Feel free to leave a comment with your reaction to the fast food I ate for four days. I don't eat like this every day... but yeah, I've put on some weight and probably need to eat less for the rest of the year! #lasvegas #thesphere #travelvideo Video Chapters 0:00 Intro 0:38 Flying to Las Vegas 4:19 Guy Fieri Nachos 5:56 Linq Promenade 8:53 Room Tour 11:48 The Sphere 15:40 Maxies / In-N-Out 17:37 Wildlife Habitat 18:43 The Strip 21:57 Last Day 25:50 Conclusion
