@Bows & Bullets and I got up this morning at 0415 for a sunrise hot air balloon ride over Las Vegas. Neither of us has taken a hot air balloon ride, we have been so excited about the journey since booking it months ago. Our pickup ride wasn't there on time, so we called the company to make sure we were at the right pickup location. Then the bad news, due to high winds they had to cancel all rides this morning. They offered to reschedule, unfortunately, due to our scheduling, it just isn't possible. I made this post for two reasons. First, some advice, if you ever plan on taking a hot air balloon ride on a trip, schedule the ride in early in case of cancelation. Secondly, Bows and Bullets were heartbroken, so I wanted to do something special to let her know how much she means to me (love you, baby). So if you read this, please reply with some words to help cheer her up.
 
That would be cool.. It would still be early enough to see the Vegas lights and then get to see the sunrise. Sorry that it fell through for y'all. But, I would think being in a balloon in high winds might not be a good idea.

I agree high winds and hot air balloons are a recipe for disaster.
 
Do you have time to arrange a helicopter tour of the Grand Canyon?

We have checked into several of them. To me, the price point was just too high, most are in the 175.00 - 200.00 for 15 min range. Stepping up to 45 minutes to 1 hour was in the 600.00 range. I'm a gunaholic and need to spend money on guns and ammo. :(

You're in LV, in a hotel, no kids, with her.
This might need to be moved to limited access area.
 
You have each other and you're there together. The rest is just icing. Just sayin'

Maybe you could catch sunrise from one of the towers, like the one with the roller coaster.

And, the high winds are still going to be there. You want to see some sights? Go down to Fremont St after dark.

Without a doubt you are correct. I have been so blessed to be here with her.
 
You'll see things there that you won't see in a hot air balloon. :D

We are going to eat at Pampas Steakhouse then hit Fremont St. I still haven't hit the casino yet, so we may add that to the list after Fremont St. Like I said earlier, I'm a tightwad and haven't found those nickel, dime, quarter tables yet. They must keep them high roller games a secret around here ;)
 
Take her to the Pawn Stars pawn shops and let her haggle with Chumlee

I thought he was in prison. Just for a laugh might swing by there. This is my favorite meme about Pawn Stars.

Try El Cortez or Circus Circus, then maybe the 'Station' casinos

Here's a little poem for ya....
I'm no poet but hope it brings a smile to y'alls faces.


Winds cancelled our balloon ride
There's no place I'd rather be than by your side
You lift me up and make my heart flutter
When I look into your eyes I melt like hot butter
Even with all the Vegas lights
Seeing you is the best sight!

Thank you baby!! You didn’t have to do that post but it’s so sweet and thoughtful!! I love you so much and missing it was terrible, what you did afterwards melted my heart though! I couldn’t ask for a better partner to go through this trip with, let alone life with! Thank you all guys for your posts! I won’t say anything else, since we aren’t in the basement [emoji12][emoji12] I love you @Average Joe

Wow! That’s good. If I said that to my girlfriend, she would slap me, throw up and swear I was high. Not sure in which order.
 
Not half as impressive as you are according to @Average Joe !!!

(Hope I gave you some brownie points buddy)

DS

Hmm....oh really? I find that hard to believe LOL just kidding, he always makes me feel special - whether it be romantically or short bus LOL

I know everyone is upset but this is such a first world problem. :p:D:p

Oh so right my friend. Normally I could care less, however I needed to cheer her up. She really only came because it was something I wanted to do and the ride was the only thing she asked to do [emoji853]
