Buffett List #3: See Jimmy perform in Las Vegas!
Viva Las Vegas, Jimmy Buffett. Welcome to Fin City. Mailboat Records. 2012.
I packed up my Parrothead gear, and headed west in October 2013 on an early flight from Tampa International. Not too early for a little Parrothead spirit- FINS UP!!
We stayed at MGM Grand on the Vegas strip! The concert is at MGM- a major convenience.
The pool at MGM Grand is lovely…
But we couldn’t miss checking out the coolest Parrothead tailgate party at The Flamingo on the famous Vegas Strip!
No chance of feeling out of place in this crowd- the getups were over the top!
Quite a festive crowd on a beautiful day in Las Vegas!
Back to MGM Grand to finalize the wardrobe. Concert gear is ready!!!
Ready for the show!
The man himself- Viva Jimmy in Vegas!
What a great show- and a great trip “home” through the casinos at MGM Grand. The concert coincided with a rodeo convention with some fun concerts in the casino. Much better than being stuck in post-concert traffic!
In addition to being a huge Buffett fan, I love a laugh through National Lampoons vacation movies. We stumbled upon the wedding chapel from the closing scene of Vegas Vacation right by the Stratosphere.
And no trip to Vegas can be complete without the Fremont Street experience- classic Vegas. Ride the bus over from the Strip- it’s cheap and easy.
What a view from the top of the Stratosphere. Vegas Baby!
Living out any adult fantasy is possible in Vegas- we lived it up at Machine Gun Vegas, feeling the power of full auto. They provide transportation to and from your hotel on the Strip.
Closing it out with a little tribute to Margaritaville, Vegas style at the Margaritaville Casino at The Flamingo. https://www.margaritavillelasvegas.com/casino-copy
While I didn’t have much luck in the casino… any Parrothead knows that seeing Jimmy in Vegas is ALWAYS a winner!!
