Vegas with Queen + Adam Lambert June 2017

Vegas with Queen + Adam Lambert June 2017

Photos from my last Vegas trip, June 23-25.  My whole reason for booking this trip was to attend the Queen + Adam Lambert concert on Saturday night.   What an awesome show!  One of the best I've seen, only second to The Eagles.

On my first night in town, I met up with Chriss, a long-time friend from England, whom I'd never met in person before.  We've been internet friends for about 10 years, and we talked like old friends who see each other regularly,  We also drank a LOT of free drinks, courtesy of the Bellagio.  I also got to meet Carole, Chriss' wife, who is a very sweet and funny lady.  Love them both to bits!  Hopefully I'll get a chance to go "across the pond" to see them both sometime soon.

The details are incredible as always.

Breakfast - my Forest Crepe at Jean Phillipe - ham, cheese, eggs, chipotle, and I forgot what else. 

Besides Game of Thrones, my Walking Dead obsession continues...

Proof that they are ALWAYS working on the Bellagio display.

My first time playing Goldfish Deluxe at NY/NY, and I got all the fishes and the highest-paying turtle on my first try!

Aaaaaaand now I'm addicted to it.

Until we meet again, Vegas.  Sayonara.
