Quick LV Trip, Nov. 24-26

You can definitely walk it.  10 minutes.....depending on how fast you walk.  Just need to cross Paradise at Karen, and then follow the upper path around the empty parking lot, although it was filled with trucks and trailers from the car show, where people were paying $50 a day to park.  

 

Now, the parking fee may only apply to big time events like the car show convention and another big gaming convention, that made parking a necessity for most of the attendees. When we came in August for Labor Day the parking fee was not being enforced with sentries at the various gates.  Then it was like they had at the OYO, where you go in and park and then pay......if you want after using the QR code.  My wife and I used valet...since it's free for Diamond members, but our son parked in the garage every day and had no issues....and was never charged or even approached about it. 


Good idea from walking from the Sahara to Westgate.  When I was there in April, I just walked thru the Sahara and took the escalator up to the Paradise overcrossing and walked over to the monorail station.  Then I took the down escalator down to Paradise and walked to Westgate.  It was a really pleasant walk.  I happy you had a great time and did so well.  Take care and enjoy the remainder of the semester.

Thanks, Robert.  I never knew you could actually cross Paradise using the Monorail Station Platform.  For some reason I only thought you could only use Monorail from that platform, not go to the other side.   

 

And thanks for the well wishes.  

For walking cool weather months. Looked closer to Fontainebleau.Still a hike.

Last  visit I took the Monorail.From Flamingo.
