sorry, nothing to say here
Fancy cars pulling up to hotel
more views of The Venetian
The Bellagio
”Paris“
famous Bellagio water show
“New York City”
strange mix
road trip to Las Vegas Motor Speedway (transport for 14,000 people via bus)
odd welcome
huge lines kept me (and most people) from getting a turn on the track, as a passenger in a Hertz car, going 120mph, or in a Mustang convertable (with helmet)
good chocolate dip
moonlight night, good food, loud music, Danica Patrick appearance
interesting airport art
flying out of Vegas
closely packed
Hoover Dam (note construction of new bridge)
Grand Canyon
nuclear plant somewhere in the midwest
swag! (now I can mow my lawn in a variety of t-shirts!)
