This was the last day we spent in Vegas. We already accomplished everything we came to do and then some. Today was gravy. One main attraction we hadn’t seen was the Stratosphere Tower. It stands at 1,149-ft high, has indoor and outdoor observation decks and 3 rides at the top. We didn't do the rides.
We spent about an hour there and enjoyed the view then did a little shopping in the shops at the base.
Joe picked out the last place we would see, the Ethel M. Chocolate Factory and Cactus Garden.
We had some trouble finding it but once there it turned out to be a gem. The factory makes gourmet chocolates. Nothing was being made while we were there; they had just completed renovation of the manufacturing area. 
Adjacent to the factory is the cactus garden. It is a 2.5-acre collection of more than 350 species of desert plants primarily from the southwest. It was a photographers dream (If you like pictures of landscaping.)
We wandered and took pictures and bought some chocolate, too.
After that it was lunch at Olive Garden and back to the hotel to catch the hotel’s “Viva Las Vegas” show. It had dancing girls in scanty costumes, magicians and comedians. It was a small-time show for LV but well-done and very entertaining. Especially when one of the dancers put her arm around me and said “Hi There!”
That’s it, our 6-day trip to Las Vegas was ending. Now it was time to pack up and get ready to go to the airport early on Tuesday morning.
