The last total solar eclipse visible in the United States was in 1979 from the Pacific Northwest\u00a0through northern Canada.<\/p>\n

The total phase began at sunrise in the North Pacific, with\u00a0the path of totality sweeping through Oregon, Washington, Idaho, and Montana, as well as most of central Canada and Greenland. Maximum duration along the central line was over\u00a0two\u00a0minutes.<\/p>\n

This event will stretch from Oregon to South Carolina with the best viewing areas being in\u00a0Oregon, southern Idaho, Wyoming, Nebraska, Missouri, Illinois, Tennessee and South Carolina. The next occurrence won\u2019t be until April 9, 2024.<\/p>\n

Eclipse Proposition Bets<\/h2>\n

Being in the gambling mecca of the world it wouldn\u2019t be right if there wasn\u2019t a little action available on the happening. Some casinos were taking exotic bets on Monday\u2019s affair and sportsbettingexperts.com were providing advice for those wanting to wager on it.<\/p>\n

The site had odds for every state that was in the path of the total eclipse with lines on over and under for cloud coverage, if any significant rain would fall and what would be the hotel occupancy rates for those areas.<\/p>\n

The most interesting entries were for more esoteric. There was an over and under on how many tweets would be posted and whether President Trump would mention the eclipse.<\/strong><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

There was even a sports-related line on how many Major League Baseball games would be delayed or postponed because of it.<\/p>\n

Sin City to Sunless City<\/h2>\n

Even though Southern Nevada<\/a> isn\u2019t an optimal viewing location that isn\u2019t stopping businesses from trying to promote the tourist destination as a prime place to be when the moon passes in front of the sun.<\/p>\n

The casinos would rather have you inside gambling, rather than outside looking at the sun, but while they didn\u2019t have any formal activities planned for the event, several places were taking advantage of the spectacle.<\/p>\n

The activities are running the gamut from improving your chi to thrilling your senses.<\/p>\n

A boutique will host a gong meditation on the shopping center\u2019s lawn. The owner of the shop, which sells Native American jewelry, is offering geological lessons and will be raffling off crystals.<\/p>\n

A company in near by Boulder City is taking people on a raft ride near the Hoover Dam and around Lake Mead for $97, plus an additional $49 to pick up guests and bring them back to their hotels.<\/p>\n

The most adventurous way to celebrate the eclipse was trying to get as close to it as possible. One private jet company had scheduled flights to Los Angeles from McCarran airport for $129 each way during the peak time for people to get a better look.<\/p>\n

Another company was charging $349 for a one-way flight, where they then opened the door and passengers jumped out of plane. Parachutes were included.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
