I made it to the Flamingo, Las Vegas about an hour after landing. The check-in wait wasn't too bad, but I was told that the room I reserved wouldn't be ready for another 3 hours. *grumble* However they did offer to give me a different room instead with a better view, provided I didn't mind having 2 queen beds instead of one king size bed. Seeing as how I was traveling alone, didn't matter to me, so I took it. As it was, I still had to wait another 20 minutes for the cleaning lady to finish up. Once I got in, I did a quick unpacking, grabbed my camera, and immediately headed out. I was HUNGRY!! If I had only known beforehand it was a meal-less flight. Peanuts and 7-Up just don't cut it. So my first destination was to be someplace I could get some lunch (or dinner, seeing as how it was almost 6:00 PM Boston time). I had heard of a place that had the "best deal" in Vegas, so set out to find it. This is the picture I took of the "back" of my hotel as I was strolling away.
