Buckle Up, Buttercup: A Blast from the Past Eclipse
Let's talk about the real action. We just had a partial solar eclipse back in April 2024. Remember? You might have been a little too busy perfecting your poker face or hitting the jackpot to notice, but the moon did sneak a peek and block about 60% of the sun for a bit. The whole thing lasted roughly 2 hours, with the peak happening around 11:20 AM. Not exactly a blackout situation, but a cool celestial show nonetheless.
So When's the Next Big Kahuna Eclipse Happening?
Now, if you're craving a full-on, Vegas-gets-darker-than-a-mobster's-secret-lair eclipse, you're out of luck for a while. The path of totality (the fancy term for where the whole sun gets covered) doesn't sweep over Sin City for the next few cosmic light shows.
But fear not! Vegas always finds a way to entertain. Here's your chance to plan ahead and snag a prime spot for the next big one.
Tip: Be mindful — one idea at a time.
