I deplaned and waited anxiously for my
bus to pull away. If feels like I’ve been traveling for days but it was
probably just the build up of coming here. Seeing my old friends, making new
ones. As the bus winds its way to my hotel I see wonderful theming. Each hotel
a world away from each other though being within a few miles of the next. The
scaled down objects found across the world invite me in to shop and dine and
enjoy all the entertainment attractions offered at each of these well themed
areas.
I
finally arrive at my hotel, exhausted and ready to call it a night, so I can be
up early to enjoy a grand buffet with my friends.
I
am not talking about Walt Disney World or Disneyland, but rather Las Vegas. I
recently had a great trip there and couldn’t help notice the remarkably similar
aspects between WDW and Vegas.
I
stayed at The Palms Casino
Resort off of “The Strip.” This is a gorgeous hotel with all the
amenities that one expects from a casino resort in Vegas, just a little further
from other resorts.
Although
The Plams was not overly themed, they had so much going on at the resort, I
never had to leave! Several sit down dinning restaurants, many quick service
dinning options, two pools, MANY bars, a couple dance clubs, a movie theatre,
and the casino floor itself. I only left the Palms three times. Once to look
for a drug store, once to get Starbucks coffee, and once for the rehearsal
dinner. Remind you of Eiser’s call to keep people on property by offering more
and more things for them to do, and then providing bus services to even
dissuade guests from renting cars.
The
strip itself had a lot of well themed hotels and areas with shows and
attractions and shopping to appease the masses. Despite being hundreds of miles
from WDW, I felt like I was home.
