Jo Rogers @oxfordowl59 Adam Lambert in the Q magazine... bands pulled off the best come backs after losing their front man @adamlambert @drbrianmay @queenwillrock I know it’s only a small write up but recognised 👍😁 Adam got 4 stars --- tied with Axl Rose and AC/DC -- that is stellar company.

Hey all you hot-blooded Americans....from the Canadian perspective, those predicted Vegas temps are daunting, to say the least!!! My question to y'all is, as we will likely be spending the bulk of our time in Vegas indoors...thank you very kindly...and I assume the venue's are air-conditioned... ... what ratio of near naked to covered up should we pack for.....is a sweater an outrageous notion or a necessity... Also....any suggestions of things to do other than sleep, 'bert', or gamble in this 'city that never sleeps'...We have all day Friday the 14th and Sat. the 15th to amuse ourselves....yeah!!! I'm taking a sweater/lite jacket. I'm assuming the restaurants and hotel public space will be coldish. When I was there in Sept 2013 for the IHeart festival at the MGM Grand...the temps were like this or worse...lol. You can always take a lite sweater off, but you don't want to be too cold w/o any sleeve. I usually take a coverup to the concert...but rarely, if ever, really need it. Once the show starts all the excitement warms you up. Being outside is another matter. In 2013 my son and I decided to walk over to the Luxor to see Chris Angell. We could see the hotel from the MGM Grand. I thought it wouldn't be a big deal. We almost died from heat stroke going over. On the return trek, we managed to walk outside less and go thru a couple of lobbies of other hotels to get back. The outside heat is deceiving. Only thing worse I've ever experienced was in Phoenix for QAL last year. They broke outside temp records while we were there. We took Lyft from the usually walkable hotel to the venue and back and did nothing else. We're thinking about maybe taking a 6 hr day trip to the Hoover Dam. But if it's too hot, we might not. We already have reservations for Michael Jackson One Cirque show on the Thursday nite we're there. We haven't see that one before. Appears that the Park MGM doesn't have but a couple of restaurants operating now. I think Park MGM connects inside to the Aria Hotel where there are many more restaurants. I noticed that there are a few across the street in the outside Park park. That's the area between the T Mobile Ctr and Park MGM. The IHeart Festival will be going on while we are there on the 21st and 22nd...so I imagine it'll be a nightmare eating out, etc those days. I don't gamble at all...so we may be bored somewhat during the daytime hours. My husband and I are going on a "Pink Jeep" tour to the Valley of Fire. It's a 6 hour trip, with pick-up and drop-off from your hotel, guided tour, lunch, and all the water you want. There's a shorter (4 hour) version via Pink Jeep to Red Rock Canyon. I do have my concerns about the heat outside the hotels, even though it will be the proverbial "dry heat". One daughter said not to miss the fountains at Bellagio.

Graciejane, stampsgal or anybody who's studied Adam's new house. Where is the silver looking water flowing feature located at the .26 mark? It runs along the side of the steps going up to the front entrance. I wondered too! Really really good eyes cheriemelissa! 💧💧💧💧The video implies a big watery fall...the videographer certainly knows how to embellish...it does look cool!

As for the heat: TAKE A HAT, some electrolytes and stay hydrated I've been to Vegas four years ago and yes, the fountain at the bellaggio is worth checking out. Not on the srtip, but another smaller touristy street is where the "golden nugget" is and the street is roofed and its air-conditioned, they project visuals on said roif at night. There's a lot going on there...
Lol to the waterfall...it certainly looks bigger in the video

At 2:33 here you can see the water falling down the wall and into the catch basin by the steps. I hadn't noticed that before.
