The Vegas Voice July 2021

By: Stu Cooper / Happy Adventures
It has been a long time (actually way to long)
but the world is finally starting to open up.
Vegas is back to normal, and visitors are back.
The rest of the world is not that far behind.
As I write this a little more time is needed to get the cruises up and
running from U.S. ports. We are also waiting for guidance on the
opening up of European countries.
Having said that, we are really gearing up to start our Vegas Voyagers
group travel. That’s why the trips we planned have been pushed off
until early 2022. We want to make sure these trips happen.
We don’t want to disappoint anyone. And while
there are no 100% guarantees, we believe these
trips will happen.
Our first Bus
to the Boat is a
Mexican Riviera
Cruise on the
Royal Caribbean’s
Navigator of the Seas,
February 21 -28, 2022. We just added
another compliment of balcony cabins
as our original allotment sold out.
A month later, we will have one of our most popular Bus to the

Around Our Town

What was that you said? The grandkids are
coming to visit!
OMG, put the breakables away, dig out the
board games and figure out how to entertain
them. Oh, wait! Kids don’t play board games anymore. Do they?
Nowadays they have an i-Pad and computer
games. Well, you still have to keep them
busy when they aren’t texting or using their
i-Phones. Here are a few Vegas ideas.
Take a unique gondola ride at The
Venetian, or stroll Parisian streets and visit
The Eiffel Tower at the Paris Casino. Strict
laws prohibit minors from being near the
slot machines and gaming tables, but some
casinos are more “kid-friendly’ than others.
Check out the huge fish tank at the Silverton Casino. Kids can watch
swimming mermaids feed the sea life on a scheduled basis.
Circus Circus still courts families with their free circus acts and midway
carnival games. Adventuredome, an indoor theme park, offers
rides for all ages.
The LINQ, the world’s tallest observation wheel is awesome. “The
High Roller” is 100 feet taller than the iconic “London Eye” Ferris
July 2021
Boat trips,
a Coastal
California
cruise with
the PHAT
PACK March
20 -27, 2022.
We will be
sailing on
Princess We’re back with our Phat Pack Cruise
Cruise’s
brand new DISCOVERY PRINCESS.
This cruise will include private group only
PHAT PACK performances and a whole array of
premium inclusions in the cruise package.
And as the world re-opens we are looking and
planning another Israel, Holy Land trip for late
2022 or early 2023. Once we know that the longer
10 to 15 day cruises are up and running we are
planning a 15 night Hawaiian Island Bus to the
Boat cruise. We are also looking into an Alaska
itinerary for summer of 2022.
And that’s just the beginning!

wheel. It travels so slowly, you hardly realize you’re moving, and offers
unparalleled views of the Strip and surrounding area.
It features 28 glass enclosed pods equipped to hold 40 passengers
each. It takes about 30 minutes per ride, operates seven days a week,
365 days a year. The whole family will love this one!
Lake Mead, about a ½ hour by car, for boating and fishing. Bring
along popcorn to feed the ducks and the
hundreds of open-mouth Carp at the pier. It’s
an amazing experience for kids of all ages -
that means you, too.
Visit the Children’s Park at Town Square.
The little ones will love the playground in the
middle of the mall with its pint-size hedge
maze. The teens will love the shopping, and of
course there are restaurants galore to lunchin.
Las Vegas is a fun town for every age! And remember… grandkids
have a shelf life. Before you know it, they’ll be older and on to something
else.
Make memories. Love ‘em while you can!
