For Mike C, Who Will Understand

As intimated in the last post, Lithus and I were in Vegas again, and once again, it was for an overnight only. But this time, we didn't even pretend. Instead of spending hundreds on a room on the strip, we went to the airport LaQuinta.

This was our view:

No Drunken Tourists
 This was our room:

Actual king-sized bed, as promised at the reservation

This was our oversized bathtub:

Unexpected perq


It was all lovely, comfortable, and in walking distance of an Indian place for dinner. And we didn't have to feel awkward staying in and watching movies.


Random pictures, that have nowhere else to go and aren't worth a post of their own (that I'm sure Mike will appreciate, but aren't aimed directly at him): A scary bunny sculpture in the Vegas airport. Hollow eyes are problematic.


Kinda looks like a dragon from here, doesn't it?
And a gorgeous sunset on the way home:





I read a photography article recently on pictures we all need to stop taking. One of them was the sunset/sunrise over the airplane wing. To which I say, fuck that. It's your damn camera. Take whatever the hell picture you want to take.

  1. I do understand, and I applaud your choice! I've always liked La Quinta. Of course when I'm doing a trade show I certainly don't have that option. And do all the "wing/tail at sunrise/sunset" shots you want. Cheers!

  4. Mrs. Pike ~ I have always been more of a Best Western type o'gal, but have been more and more impressed with La Quinta recently. They may be winning me over. And the Indian place was...perfectly fine. :/
