Dream: Las Vegas with my friend

I was in Las Vegas, Nevada with one of my close friends since childhood, Tucker. We walked to a restaurant and were seated. But there were few people at the restaurant since, surprisingly, many restaurants were closed for some reason. We chat for a while about what we wanted to do in Vegas. The waitress clearly didn’t care much about providing good customer service. She barely checked our table and we waited there feeling frustrated. 

Tucker said he wanted to go to the nearest and slowest lazy river. I pulled up Google Maps on my phone and all the sudden I was flying above Vegas like a drone. We were currently in the Wynn but I flew over many different hotels and resort areas over the strip. I looked in the distance and saw a beautiful sunset composed of dark shades of purple and orange over a beach with the ocean in the distance. I had no idea that Las Vegas was now apparently by the ocean.

I continued to fly like a drone above large outdoor hotels and water parks with large numbers of people outside swimming and playing in them.

I returned to the restaurant. I told Tucker that we should check out the Venetian and the Cosmopolitan if there was time, as I thought these hotels were cool to check out since I had walked around them before. 

Tucker asked about hotel prices. I told him when I stayed here before in 2015 at the Treasure Island Hotel, the prices were not too bad. Then when I stayed in 2018 or 2019, again I found a decent deal when I searched online. 

Then, as if we teleported from the restaurant, Tucker and I were walking in one of the outdoor resorts. Something felt wrong as if we had snuck into the hotel water park without paying. We were going to leave. We dodged some strange and sketchy-looking homeless guys outside the exit of the water park.

We continued to walk down the strip by  more outdoor pools and resorts looking for lazy rivers that could accommodate Tucker's request. I saw a fast lazy river but I knew he wanted to go in a slow one. 

We walked in one hotel resort and looked at the indoor water park. All the sudden, as if we were teleported, we were swimming in the lazy river. But it was

fast, like a whirlpool. Both of us wanted to get out. But the only way to get out was to follow a specific procedure: waiting until the lazy river brought us to a a specific patch of tile on a specific edge and pull ourselves out. We had to be precise, as even the tile nearby to the "exit zone" was not substantial enough to allow someone to pull themselves up.

Eventually we both managed to reach the "exit zone" and climbed out of the lazy river.  We walked away from the lazy river and towards the indoor pool area of the resort. Then I woke up.
