# Las Vegas for some Magic & Cheer - Link: https://mywalkabout.net/las-vegas-for-some-magic-cheer/ - Published: 2019-04-12T05:42:14-07:00 - Author: My Walkabout [**Sin City**](https://www.lasvegas.com/)** is about equal in driving distance** from Salt Lake City and Phoenix, so it works out perfectly for my family to meet for a weekend. My niece had her Cheer Competition and I needed to keep a promise to my nephew. ![](https://i2.wp.com/mywalkabout.net/wp-content/uploads/2019/04/HipstamaticPhoto- 572660934.641401.jpg?fit=940%2C940&ssl=1) **I arrive mid-afternoon on a Saturday**, and we all decide to go try out an “Escape Room” at [Escapology](https://www.escapology.com/en/). This is my first time trying this out, and I find out that I suck. My brain just doesn’t compute when it comes to figuring these things out. Luckily, most of the rest of the family didn’t fare much better, and so we all failed at _“escaping”_ in time. Of course, we choose the absolutely hardest room to try and escape from…… ![](https://i0.wp.com/mywalkabout.net/wp-content/uploads/2019/04/IMG_0382.jpg?resize =640%2C297&ssl=1) **Back when my niece was only eleven**, I took her to Vegas, just the two of us. I promised my other nieces and nephew that I would do the same when they turned the same age. Then I moved away, but a promise is a promise. It took me a little longer than anticipated, but this weekend I was able to take my nephew to a [Mat Franco](https://matfranco.com/) Magic show (his choice) and we both loved it! ![](https://i0.wp.com/mywalkabout.net/wp-content/uploads/2019/04/IMG_0386.jpg?fit =940%2C940&ssl=1) The whole evening we just looked at each other with dropped jaws…._“How did he do that?!?”_ Which I believe is the reaction you want from the true wonder of a magician. My niece kills it at her Cheer Competition. Supposedly I’m not to share the dance performances online, but I’m a rule breaker. Enjoy my time in Las Vegas for a quick weekend. ### Share this: * [ Email ](https://mywalkabout.net/las-vegas-for-some-magic-cheer/?subject=%5BShared%20Post%5D%20Las%20Vegas%20for%20some%20Magic%20%26%20Cheer&body=https%3A%2F%2Fmywalkabout.net%2Flas-vegas-for-some-magic-cheer%2F&share=email) * [Post](https://x.com/share) * [Share on Tumblr](https://www.tumblr.com/share) * [ WhatsApp ](https://mywalkabout.net/las-vegas-for-some-magic-cheer/?share=jetpack-whatsapp) * [ Nextdoor ](https://mywalkabout.net/las-vegas-for-some-magic-cheer/?share=nextdoor) * [ Threads ](https://mywalkabout.net/las-vegas-for-some-magic-cheer/?share=threads) * [[ * [Tweet](https://twitter.com/share) * [ Reddit ](https://mywalkabout.net/las-vegas-for-some-magic-cheer/?share=reddit) ### Like this: Like Loading…
