What's Vegas Without Dinner And A Show?

Dr. McCutcheon and I headed back to Gettysburg early Tuesday morning so that he could conduct the July 4th Orchestra here at Gettysburg College. For our final few blog posts, please welcome Guest Blogger Andrew Smouse, one of our band staff members.,

After another hot breakfast in the hotel prepared by Chef Kevin, we loaded the buses for our fourth performance at the Adventure Dome in Circus Circus. After our wonderful performance and Facebook live stream of the concert and jazz bands, we all enjoyed a private pizza party. Following the party, we enjoyed the rides and theatrics of Adventuredome. We even had a laser tag competition between the staff and students… guess who won! After the thrilling rides, we loaded the coaches for a short drive to Caesar’s Palace. In the world famous Forum Shops, we dined among memorabilia of movie stars in Planet Hollywood.

Finishing our meal with fresh chocolate chip cookies, we took a short walk to the Linq hotel. Headliner magician Mat Franco, winner of season nine’s America Got Talent, entertained us with a classic, comedic Las Vegas show. We were in awe at the illusions, card tricks, and his story. It was a great way to end the day! We then boarded the buses to head back to our hotel, taking in the lights and sights of the Las Vegas Strip. We look forward to our final performance tomorrow in the time honored Las Vegas Independence Day  tradition – the 24th annual Summerlin Patriotic Parade.
