UA Red Carpet Club members are now entitled to use the Continental Presidents Club lounges, and we've discovered a gem in the Las Vegas Airport (LAS).
We'll post a photo at some later point but it's an airy and spacious facility with a panoramic view of part of the Las Vegas skyline through its curved windows.
The offering of complimentary beer and wine is something novel for RCC members but certainly a nice touch as well.
We fly back this afternoon after three nights at the Las Vegas Hilton, tempted by an offer of comped rooms. You have to know Vegas is hurting when Hilton offer low rollers like us free accommodation. It was relatively quiet, we enjoyed ourselves, but now we're ready to go back home, check the mail, and water the plants, before hitting the road again.
Kathy and Brian
Two retired educators alternating joyfully between seeing the world and enjoying our eight grandchildren (in order of birth), Jake, Avery, Taegan, Lily, Peyton, Riley, Blane, and Jace.
Kathy and Brian met in the clarinet section of the University of California (Santa Barbara) Symphony Orchestra several decades ago.
Brian's Western Canadian roots and Kathy's Colorado ties resulted in their making beautiful music together along with producing a cross-border crop of descendants.
Kathy spent a year studying in Vienna at the Institute for European Studies and the University of Vienna.
Brian started the school band program in Hope, British Columbia, and later became the high school's vice-principal for 6 years and subsequently principal for 15 years before retiring in 2001.
Kathy, in between raising our three children, taught kindergarten and first grade, middle school, and high school - mathematics, computer studies, ESL, and her first love, band, before retiring in 2001.
We enjoy sharing our travel experiences and providing the odd travel tip to friends, relatives, and visitors.
