Joyce joined her Texas friends,  Della, Donna, and Karen in Las Vegas for a fantastic weekend.
They all flew into Vegas from their homes in Valrico (Tampa) and Granbury (Texas) anticipating a lot of fun and a memorable weekend.
The premier attraction for the trip was the Eagles Concert at the Sphere, so here are some comments about how the Sphere is construccted and how many people describe their experience:
| The Sphere in Las Vegas is one of the most advanced entertainment venues in the world, designed to immerse audiences in a fully sensory experience. Standing over 360 feet tall and more than 500 feet wide, the massive globe-shaped structure is covered in LED panels, making it the largest digital display on Earth. From the outside, the Sphere can transform into a giant planet, a basketball, or even an eye staring across the skyline, drawing constant attention on the Las Vegas Strip. Inside, it houses a state-of-the-art performance space equipped with a wraparound 16K resolution screen and an advanced sound system that delivers crystal-clear audio to every seat.
People who attend shows at the Sphere often describe it as breathtaking, surreal, and unlike anything they've ever seen. Many visitors compare the experience to being transported into another world, with visuals so vivid they feel three-dimensional and larger than life. The sound quality is often praised as flawless, with effects that seem to come from every direction. For concerts, films, and special immersive programs, guests say the Sphere blurs the line between art, technology, and reality. Reactions are typically filled with awe, wonder, and excitement—making it a must-see attraction in Las Vegas.

They booked an accesible one bedroom room at Caesar's Palace, which turned out to be a great choice. (Somehow they must have determined how four ladies could use one bathroom for makeup and still leave the hotel before 3PM each day.)
Here is how Joyce described her Las Vegas adventure:
| Las Vegas Dream Come True Adventure from September 11th-14th was a wild ride.
I felt like the luckiest person alive to have experienced the Sphere in Las Vegas and rocked out at my Eagles concert, which kicked off at 8:30PM on the 12th. The experience was totally mind-blowing, with the band playing all my favorite hits from 1971-1975 for over three hours. I owe a huge debt of gratitude to Donna, Della, and Karen for making this dream a reality.
On the 13th, Donna and I scored tickets to a screening of The Wizard of Oz at the Sphere, starting at 1:00PM. The classic 1939 MGM production starring Judy Garland was absolutely jaw-dropping.
During our stay at Caesars Palace in Las Vegas, we chowed down at swanky restaurants BuddyV's and Gordon Ramsay.
Although, most of the time I was stuck in a wheelchair, with Donna and Karen's help, I was able to push my limits and explore the amazing shops within the Caesar's Palace mall. Below are a few photos from this unforgettable adventure.
God bless. Grace and Peace. Keep the Faith.
