Being foresighted tourists, after the lousy brunch on Thursday we had walked by all possible breakfast and brunch places in Old Vegas and checked out the menus. And chose Terrace in Downtown. To make our Saturday morning slightly more interesting, instead of walking there straight for 20 minutes, we took the 45-minute walk and arrived merely 2 minutes after they opened the doors. I took hash browns with poached eggs, asparagus and sauce hollandaise. Scott chose waffles with fried chicken, whipped cream, strawberries and apples. The waitress told us later that she's from New York and not used to chicken being served with waffles. New York... I tell you that for the bigger part of Europe it's not known that chicken is eaten with waffles and whipped cream and pancakes are served with bacon and maple syrup. So, not as backwards there in New York as she thought. And that all is served in the country, where Scott could not believe his eyes, when I added pepperoni to his scrambled eggs. Because pepperoni belongs on pizza not with the eggs. Duh, one sausage all. The food was delicious, btw.
We walked through a casino, took our luggage from the hotel, bought some corn flour in our arepa joint and took Lyft to airport. Boarding and deplaning in this country will remain a mystery to me. In the bigger planes the travellers are often divided into groups and in Europe, right after the rich, beautiful and baby-boomers the groups sitting in the back of the plane can board. Lastly the first rows will be filled. In US it's the other way round. Here also, the ones with more kids and bigger wallets got to board first, but right after them the people are boarded from front rows to last rows. And then the ones, sitting in the back, are patiently (or not that patiently) waiting in the aisle, while the first rows are lifting up their luggage. After landing, in Europe, people are deplaning logically - the ones, standing up in the aisle, get to exit first. The ones, still sitting, can start moving, if there's a gap in the lane. The aisle is filled with people and everyone reaches terminal fairly fast. In US, on the other hand, people are being let out row by row. Even if all the six passengers in row 8 are all still sitting, the ones from row 9 are waiting, until those 6 have stood up, reached for their luggage and start moving out. Most of the time the aisle is just empty, because someone has trouble getting down their 55lb luggage down or is making their way through people five rows back, where they found an empty spot for bags.
Meanwhile there was a lot of snow at home.
