Las Vegas Adventure

One of my Great Adventures

Las Vegas, Nevada

So you think of the typical photo

well here it is

My first time to Vegas (so far the only time too)

So we got off the plane, hit the strip and we walked through every casino.

Wish I had a picture of my face...

Mouth open, eyes big.

Those Casinos are over the top gorgeous inside.

But if you rent a car and travel around one day 

heading East.....you get to see all of this

The new bridge 

by the Hoover Dam

I can not imagine driving across that bridge at that altitude!

Then we headed Northwest

This is the Hwy to Groom Lake.

know where we are headed yet?

Here is a hint

This was on a dirt road 

in the middle of no where

before you get to the Joshua Tree Forest (My name)

on the edge of Area 51

That's right

we drove to the gate of Area 51

since I do not like getting into trouble there is no photo

Let me tell you....

there is an SUV parked on the hill....

there are guys with binoculars staring back at you!

we sat

stared around

told them thank you and we were leaving the same way we came.

Yes they can hear you, there are dishes on poles all around you to pick up sounds

So back to the city

and to the exhibits in the Casinos

First we went to the Pyramid, Luxor Casino

 and saw all the Egyptian stuff

before we entered into this

 The Titanic Exhibit

Must see it

you will be rendered speechless by the end

I had to come home with something from this adventure

so I bought two plates and two fat little coffee cups.

Every time we have stew, soup, all in one dinner/salad or chili

we eat out of these now

Grilled Chicken Salad with avocado, tomato, onion and homemade Balsamic Vinegarette dressing

Now, it was time to do the guy thing

fair is fair

so off to the Imperial Palace to see

100's of old cars.

I had to sit down after 50 

My feet were burning

I am not a gambler.  I hate to throw money away

but

I played 20$ at cards, slots, dice, roulette and something else

I lost all my money

except at the roulette table.

My technique was this.

Buy your chips

Toss them on the table

Where ever they land is where you bet.

I WON $ 79.00

I have never lost with this technique either!

But here is the secret

Never re-gamble your winnings.

Take them home
