16-day free travel in California, USA
✈️ San Francisco ➡️ Las Vegas
After finishing my four-day, three-night trip to San Francisco, I took Alaska Airlines, a member of the Oneworld Alliance, to Las Vegas, the largest city in Nevada. As soon as I landed, I was attracted by the dazzling array of slot machines and dazzling neon signs on both sides of the airport corridor, as if I had entered a dream casino as soon as I stepped in.
🚍 Las Vegas Transportation Guide
Public transportation in Las Vegas is managed by the RTC (Regional Transportation Commission). Tourists are advised to buy a transit pass (2-hour, 24-hour or 3-day ticket) first. It is convenient to buy it using the rideRTC App or on-site machines.
From the airport to the city, take the designated bus, or transfer to the terminal through the free shuttle bus.
🛍 First stop: Las Vegas South Premium Outlets
Because it was not time to check in yet, I drove to the South Premium Outlets outside the city. There are more than 140 brands here, including Coach, Michael Kors, Kate Spade, etc. The indoor air-conditioned environment is all year round, parking is free, and the mobile dining plaza is also very convenient. The prices are generally 35%~65% cheaper than department stores. My wife has already picked out a few bags, and we will decide on our favorite styles tonight.
🍽 Dinner fun
Back to the hotel on the Las Vegas Strip - Harrah's Las Vegas, I ordered XO sauce seafood udon + canned green tea at the first floor food court of Harrah's Las Vegas, and the cost was almost the same as buying a Coach wallet...It seems that this trip to Las Vegas can be described as "eating Coach bags" 😂.
🛏 Tonight's stay: Harrah's Las Vegas
Opened in 1972-73, it is designed with Mardi Gras as the theme, with more than 2,500 rooms, more than 1,200 slot machines and a large casino. There are a lot of entertainment in the museum, including Carnaval Court, show venues, restaurants and spa facilities, and there is a monorail station and free shuttle to Rio Hotel.
✨ Travel Summary
Flying over two hours from San Francisco, the beautiful scenery goes straight to the neon lights of Las Vegas. From cultural tours to shopping, from the lights and shadows of slot machines in the airport corridor to the super discounts of indoor outlets, and finally back to the bustling Las Vegas Strip, this trip not only enjoys the charm of the city, but also brings back a lot of souvenirs.
