Daytrip – Container Park, Strip & Stratosphere

EP-P1060093-2This past week, my friend Jim Herring was in town visiting from Kansas. We spent a day checking out the area surrounding the new Ferris Wheel (not open yet) across from Caesars, the downtown Container Park, a retail and entertainment center partially built with recycled shipping containers that is located a block west at 6th Street and Carson Avenue, only three blocks from the glitz of Las Vegas’ Fremont Street casino corridor.

With a view to die for, 2-1 drinks and martinis and 1/2 price appetizers, it is one of the best deals in town. Check it out here … The Level 107 Lounge at Stratosphere.
