WOAH!
Sit back and enjoy the breeze.
Red Rock Canyon area... view from first site.
These were easy enough to hop around on
What it feels like to have your head in the clouds.
STRETCH--!
Me, storming off.
I was able to leap back over to Neil afterwards.
This was supposedly the highest point on the 13-mile scenic drive. In reality it was probably the highest point they could conveniently put a parking lot. We were able to clear out the lot with our making out scene.
View from the "highest point".
Still at the "highest point". This tree appealed to me, and I to it.
Haven't left the "highest point" yet.
Can't get enough of the "highest point". This was when we started clearing out the lot.
View from thrust fault area. We were standing in or near (we couldn't really tell) the most significant feature of the Mojave Desert.
Still in the Keystone Thrust Fault area. This was a dream to me... I couldn't even open my eyes.
Did I mention the nice weather? We were taking a break from all our worries.
The ICE BOX CANYON, an appropriate name considering the dramatic drop in temperature experienced further in. Dress appropriately!
Further into the canyon. We had taken a wrong turn somewhere and ended up off course. I can't speak for Neil, but it was well worth it for me! We saw a Bighorn Sheep relatively close up for a few seconds. I was not able to react quickly enough for a picture.
View near Ice Box Canyon, when we realized we'd gone the wrong direction.
Another image from the same spot as the previous image.
Finally, going into the Canyon. We lost the sun soon after this image.
That expression is appropriate considering the change in weather. Neil's body just didn't know how to respond, so he produced this. I find it cute.
The rock was as cold as ice... warm ice.
I like warm ice.
Probably the sun, not disgust.
Our buddy here took shit from nobody!
Our hike into Ice Box Canyon.
Look! She's french!
Stopped for a snack.
Our hotel, the "Luxor". Can you figure out the theme of the hotel?
Excalibur, one of our neighbors... the neighbor that you get tired of seeing but won't get the hell out of your face!
Humping unicorns!
New York, New York, during the day.
MGM Grand, during the day.
Paris, Las Vegas. This would be good 'ol Eiffel.
A land shot of Paris.
This would be a good facebok pic, Neil. Sexy, with a hint of deviousness.
The Bellagio, during the daytime. No water shows yet!
I just seem mildly thrilled.
Inside the Bellagio, I think.
Guess...
Treasure Island.
Again, Treasure Island.
Circus, Circus, inside the dome. That roller coaster was loads of fun!
Inside the Wynn.
This bar had an outside seating area with a wonderful view of a man-made waterfall (that looked kinda like a glossy TV actually)... you had to be a patron of the bar to get the best views.
Whilst waiting for wireless internet... ahem! I mean, whilst waiting for our food.
The Bellagio, at night. We prepared for the water show.
The water show has begun!
The music accompanying this was amazing. Something about proud Americans or patriotism or something... Neil really enjoyed it. He even sang along!
Awe.
Neat...like a ballet of sorts.
"Appalling" screams Neil, as he prepares to exit. "Where's Madonna when you need her" he then says, hurriedly, as if desperate for air.
"NO THEY DIDN'T!"
This just screams "Monte Carlo".
Make sure you can hear the music. You don't want to miss this for the world!
