I don't think there is a normal exit to the back like you
are looking for. There is the employee parking lot on the
back side but I don't think it is accessible from the
public areas.

You can cross over to the Trop like you have planned, just
don't go inside. Take the sidewalk along the Strip going
south. A better route might be to cross over to Excalibur
then over to the Trop and to the sidewalk. That will save
you a few steps back to the corner where the sidewalk starts.

It shouldn't be a bad walk, no more than a block and a half
or so from NYNY so I don't think a cab is necessary.

You can probably do that but it's a longer walk than just thru the
casino. Maybe someone here can suggest the shortest indoor route.

It would be simpler to stay outside. Take the overhead walkway via
Excalibur, and from the Trop a sidewalk goes right down the Strip to
Reno, then left to Reno/Giles, where you can use a surface crosswalk to
the church. From the Trop outside escalator to the front door of the
church is about 650 yards (0.37 mile).

Why would anyone go to church in Las Vegas when there are so many at
home?

Thanks, Thomas W. I do like my pickled herring and lutifisk, but like
church, I usually only indulge at Christmas.

O God, No. But I do love holiday rosettes and my people make great
meatballs. Tamales are also a Big Dumb Swede Christmas tradition.

I don't know if you can pass through the Tropicana to get to that
church, but you can certainly walk there outdoors in a few minutes. It
is not a far walk at all from the NYNY casino.

I'll explain it to you, BOB. It's just like the smorgasbord you Swedes
are so fond of: sometimes it's hard to resist getting one before you
get home again.

I was just messin' with ya, Shawn Hirn. There is a lot of praying
going on in casinos. Why not take any advantage you can get?

Beats me. I can't even figure out why anyone would go to church at home
when their God is supposedly everywhere, but the OP is obviously
interested in worshipping a deity, and neither your response, nor this
one will change that fact.

I'm not catholic, but couldn't you just wait until early Sunday morning and
watch it on TV from your hotel room. I think every major city has one or two
church services on the boob tube on a Sunday morning (besides King of Cars)
and walking to church might get you mugged or rolled.
