One word?
Hot and dry. Las Vegas is terribly hot and so dry that my skin was puckered up like those women who fry up in Miami and look like pickled elephants. Because of this, I knew my current soaping methods in the shower were attributing even more to the dryness.
After scoping out Fremont Street with the light show set to Queen, we walked across the street past the drunks and chubby tourists (myself included) to score the following:
Scunci Elastic bands ($3.79) because there was no way I would be wearing my hair down in this nasty weather. Olay Ribbons Body Wash ($6.29) because the Tone body soap was skinning me alive. Last but not least, a bottle of water ($2.29) xlarge to take back to the hotel. You can find lots of other beauty products as well as snacks and other stuff to keep the larders back at the hotel room stocked.
This location is open 24 hours, perfect for the Vegas population.
