Went to Las Vegas over the Thanksgiving holiday and took a balloon tour. The tour was for one hour, but I sure got my money's worth.... We flew for almost 3 hours due to the wind currents and finally had a semi harrowing landing on a residential street. Skimmed over some houses, had a hard landing, the balloon caught a corner of the house and tore a gaping hole, but all ended well :lol:
Here are a few pics taken from our balloon:

You certainly did get your money's worth. A 3 hour ride AND a nice story to go along with it.
