Las Vegas means the "The Meadows." It was definitely "green" but mostly due to lots and lots of green cacti.
Drinking is pretty much free. . .booze makes people gamble. I'm the exception ;)
You must walk through a casino to get anywhere.
You better have a watch because there are no clocks or windows through any of the casinos.
There's no such thing as "skanky" when you're in Las Vegas.
Sometimes the accent can sound really "hot and sexy" or it can sound "trashy and screeching."
White people go wild when Bon Jovi or this song comes on. . .
Real cowboys terrify me. . .it's the brown in me; can't help it. I'm sure they were nice though.
Smoke anywhere you want. . .even in people's faces.
When you start singing the True Blood theme song to yourself; fellow fans will mob you.
The only music played is country, blues, serious old-timey, jazz and classic rock music - even at clubs. Apparently the good folks there have never heard of Britney Spears. I also heard this song well over a hundred times when I was there.
Some parents don't care if their kids walk right up to "wild" big horn sheep. Yeesh! As a matter of fact some don't care if you're just sitting at the edge of the Grand Canyon. Not like you can fall or anything.
Depite all the attractions I still believe it's a place for adults.
Apparently in Las Vegas. . . I'm one of the thinner people o_O Opposite George was downright anorexic compared to folks there.
The view is always beautiful. . .no matter where you look.
I would go there again in a second. . .although I might go with Dr. Evil next time ;)
Hualapai House @ Grand Canyon
One of the places I went to for my Bday; these folks sure love Bon Jovi!
The MGM Grand @ Night; very beautiful hotel
The Wynn and The Encore had awesome clubs; Tryst and XS
For some reason this Coke Store just fascinated me. . .it was directly across from a Pepsi sign of course.
One of the lovely Hualapai Girls was gracious enough to pose for me.
The Grand Canyon. . .I could have gotten a better shot if I went right to the edge but I was kinda scared too; it is pretty damned deep after all.
One of the boats @ Treasure Island. Fun for the kids - there's a nightly pirate battle here.
The Hoover Dam. . .ummm. . .it's a pretty big dam.
The Hualapai believe this is their chief come back in the form of an eagle rock formation. I believe. . .good way to sell stuff ;)
The Colorado River; I was actually in Arizona to see the Grand canyon. Nevada and Arizona's state lines meet @ the Hoover Dam. You learn something new everyday.
The New York, New York Casino. . .very cool to see.
Some Big Horn Sheep just chilling in the park eating grass like it weren't no thang. They are also the State animal for Nevada.
The Excalibur Hotel. Liked their themed dragon, folklore, myth shops. It's also where I saw the fabulous "Thunder From Down Under" on my Bday. Crikey!
I am a Sex and the City fan so I had to take the pic. I'm sure the guy thought I was weird but that store was completely empty.
The Paris Hotel around the middle of the strip. . .very lovely.
Just a stunning place; so lively and vibrant. . .loved it.
The Luxor Hotel @ night. . .my crummy digital camera didn't catch it that well but it was just fantastic. I saw the Bodies Exhibit in there.
My view every morning. The whole valley surrounded by beautiful mountains.
I went to see Cirque du Soleil's KA @ the MGM Grand. Superb show.
The Lion statue outside of the MGM Grand. . .the entire place was just so brilliant. Gotta recommend it to everyone I know. . .well worth the trip!
Holy crap, I didn't realise how many photos were in that post!
