Wednesday Walk - A way back walk in Las Vegas

Just a reminder as I am trying to visit all the posts I ask that you only use the Werdnesday Walk community and tag once a week

This post if for Wednesday walk challenge And Make me Smile Collaboration challenge, initially our collaboration was once a month but due to the popularity of it we have decided to make the collab a weekly thing :)

Any questions about the challenge read the guide at the Bottom of the post ;)

For this weeks walk I am doing a Way back Walk, Way Way Way back in fact back to 2007 and a visit to Las Vegas

My Wife and I took her Son there for his 21st birthday an age where he could enjoy all of Vegas including the bars and Casinos

Funny i should start the post with a shot of the New York New York Casino and Hotel as I was working in NYC at the time

Next up is the Harrahs Sign

These were all taken with a Fufifilm Bridge camera I had at the time

Las Vegas is an amazing place all the hotels with different themes, I visited there a few times some through work for an IT convention, but this last trip with the family was my favorite trip spending time with family there walking all around seeing the sights and having fun

But it was also my last trip there, Shortly after this trip I was diagnosed with TB and was on meds for that for almost a year which really knocked me back and damaged a good portion of my lungs.

Initially i thought i got it from a passenger on the plane who was coughing away and happened to be on the same plane both to and coming back from Vegas with us.
On the flight to Vegas my wife had gone to the bathroom and the coughing guy collapsed on the floor by the bathroom door, I got up and assured my wife she was OK just to wait in the bathroom for a bit and then loosened the guys tie and made sure he was breathing and OK till he got up and returned to his seat.

Initially I thought I got the TB from that experience, but later when it was discovered it was so deep the Dr I saw thought I had it for quite a while so most likely i got it from my time in Africa a few months before that.

Anyways back to Las Vegas, a shot looking down a street at night

Wednesday Walk is a challenge started by me, the idea is to get out for a short walk and get some shots of what you can see within a short distance of your home office or wherever you start. And this is my entry for this week, but first, let me explain the challenge.

This is my post for the Wednesday Walk challenge hosted by myself, let me first explain the guidelines

Try and get out once a week for a short walk, can be from your office, home or anywhere really and walk for a few blocks or a few minutes looking for things to get shots of.

Your walk does not have to be on a Wednesday I just ask if possible to share your walk photos on a Wednesday.

Try and get a few shots not just one

Add a bit of a write up about where you walked

Just one Wednesday Walk tagged post a week

You can look for anything in general or decide on one subject you want to get shots off.

Make a point of looking around and up and see what you can find to get shots of that otherwise you may miss

Do a post with the shots you get on a Wednesday and tag it with #wednesdaywalk, also if you happen to join, please leave a link to your post in a comment on this post and I will try and visit them all, especially if its not one of the first 5 tags or I may miss seeing it .

Following me and re-Hiving the post so more see it would be appreciated but isn't a rule just a suggestion.

I am not strict on these rules and hence why they are called guidelines and not rules

I will try and visit, and upvote all who take part in the Wednesday Walk.
