So, right off the bat: I realize Front Sight isn’t the most high-speed cutting edge firearms training in the world.
However, I can take their classes for free… and my department counts them as annual training hours… so I try to take one or two every year.
In a few months I’ll be attending two four day courses on consecutive weekends. The first is actually a night course… so in between the two I’ll have a Tuesday that I’m recovering, and a Wednesday and a Thursday with nothing to do.
I’ll be alone, but I’m not a big drinker, gambler or tiddy bar type… more the spa day type.
So what would you do if you were me?
I know there are some track day opportunities… recommendations?
I got a suuuuper cheap AirBnB at Lake Las Vegas in Henderson over the summer for a week. Great pool to sit in if the weathers going to be decent, overlooking the lake.
Well, the Ventitian is cheaper than the Holiday Inn in Pharump… so I’ll probably just hang out, hydrate to get ready for 4 days in the Nevada summer sun and eat some good food.
I just realized this is from April but for some reason it came up as a new thread on Tapatalk.
If you want to do something on a night off the Blue Man Group is a fun show to watch at the Luxor hotel.
I’ve never seen them in Vegas but from what I’ve heard, it’s bigger and better than the other shows like Boston and Chicago.
I hear the Hoover Dam is pretty amazing to see but I don’t know how long of a drive it is and if it’s a Griswold moment where you get out there, say it’s cool and get back on the road.
It is. Hoover Dam is best done as a Gray Line tour, they usually have shuttles to/from the major hotels. Usually what we’d do when we were Christmasing down there was catch the shuttle out to their depot in the morning, do our tour, have them drop us off at the Rio to hit their buffet (one of the few I’ve found anywhere that was worth eating), then catch Rio’s shuttle back to Harrah’s and a cab back “home” from there.
This was back when the Strip monorail was still an engineer’s wet-dream though…
