Life is Beautiful 2017 - Las Vegas

Fremont Sreet, baby.

The strip is for the 55+ and newbie crowd.

Once again we booked the Golden Nugget, this time through Life is Beautiful which promised some profits go to charity or whatnot. I was  just happy to get 4 nights at $250.00.

We checked in Thursday and I promptly came down with a stomach flu. The kind that requires constant hydration and proximity to a bathroom.

I forced myself to attend a couple of sets on Friday (The Rhyolite Sound, Dreamcar) but had to retreat to our room early on.

On Saturday I felt much better and we stayed for the duration (with one hike back to the hotel for a nap). We caught Coin, San Fermin, Andrew McMahon, Schoolboy Q, Missio, Cage the Elephant Tycho and some of Muse. At the end our feet were growing blisters on their blisters so we booked out.

Sunday I was much better and we made a day of it with only one trip back to the hotel. we caught Cameron Calloway, a bit of Hippo Campus, a bit of PVris (they suck), a bit of Bearson, Mondo Cozmo (I like him quite a lot), De La Soul (they were great!) ...insert nap time back at the hotel here ... The XX (boring to me, but apparently have a huge following) ..insert holding our spot for Gorillaz while I lament not seeing MGMT.

Gorillaz were great, lots of guest appearances by Pusha T, De La Soul etc. (ggoogle)

Anyhow - we spent several hundred on food, drink and slot machines but we had a blast.
