Going to church in Sin City is always a challenge (between not waking up from the drunken nights and having to walk almost a mile each way in the 100+ degree heat), but this is my second trip to the Shrine of the Most Holy Redeemer and I have to say--its my go to church in Vegas.
I was visiting the City with some friends this past weekend and we decided to make the trek out here. I frequent the 7:30am mass back home, so I figured the 8am mass at the Shrine would be no problem. We felt even smarter when we realized that its not that hot when you leave your hotel at 7:40am! Whoo hoo!
The church itself is very nice and modern. The priest during our mass was a visiting priest, and we missed his introduction (unfortunately =/). I liked that he threw in some of the old (pre-Vatican II) Latin in the mix. And he did a great job explaining why we do the things we do (*dances*).
Overall, great experience. Now if they could just offer shuttle service to the Monte Carlo ;) hahaha
