Manhattan Beach

Manhattan Beach - The Strand

Seattle, Washington

The sprawling Seattle metropolitan area is surrounded by water, mountains, and lakes in the Pacific state of Washington – and home to a lot of history and culture.

From the iconic Space Needle tower to the historic Pike Place Market and from the waterfront restaurants to Mount Rainier covered with snow, everywhere you look, there is something new to see or adventures to be had.

A visit to Seattle would not be complete without exploring downtown on foot, riding the Monorail, spinning around on the Great Wheel, dining on the waterfront, or finding unique gifts at Pike Place Market.

Interesting Facts: The Seattle area has been continuously inhabited for at least 4,000 years.

Illuminate at the Strat

Illuminate at the Start“Illuminate” exploded on the scene as a finalist on America’s Got Talent and then took the world by a storm.

In Las Vegas, Illuminate plays at the Stratosphere tower with several show times every day. The ticket prices are more reasonable than the big-ticket shows.

The performance uses customized LED suits with wireless lighting programs that create extraordinary lighting effects that move along with the choreographed dance moves and the hurt-pounding music.

We reserved our seats several weeks in advance and landed a premium spot at a VIP booth with an excellent view of the stage.

Columbia River Gorge, Oregon

The Columbia River Gorge was formed eons ago by catastrophic events. After the ice glaciers started to melt, huge quantities of water were held back by natural ice dams. When the dams broke, torrents of water and boulders came rushing down to carve this beautiful gorge. But you don’t need to know the history of this natural wonder to enjoy its beauty.

Did you know? The Columbia River Gorge is the only navigable sea-level passage through the Cascade Mountains, making it a critical transportation corridor for centuries, from Native American trade routes to modern shipping.
