Las Vegas

Jeez. What can I say. Is this an extension with the Disneyland obsession? Is it a transformation of that obsession to a more adult form? I dunno, ask a shrink. Vegas is changing. It's becoming the strange mutant "Disney-esque" creation of a bunch of old sleazy gambling dudes with lots of money, and young sleazy marketing dudes with lots of money. I like it! A little fantasy. A little danger. A little ugliness. A little beauty. Add a roller coaster and Elvis. Cool.

Las Vegas Trip Report - September, 1997.
Voodoo View 1 - The view southeast from the VooDoo Lounge on the 41st floor of The Rio.
Voodoo View 2 - The view northeast from the VooDoo Lounge on the 41st floor of The Rio.
Masquerade Village Show 1 - One moment you are standing there enjoying the show, and the next thing you know you got a huge plastic gold medallion dangling from your neck and you're hanging out with showgirls. Gotta like that!
Masquerade Village Show 2 - The atmosphere at The Rio is infectious and makes you do... uncharacteristic... things.
Fremont Street Experience - The view east down Fremont Street from around Main Street. And from the outside. Here's Vegas Vic.
Million Dollars - This is the display of one million dollars in cash at Binion's Horseshoe downtown.
A Long Way Down - Here is the view straight down from the lower observation deck on the Stratosphere tower - elevation, about 900 feet.
Strip View from the Stratosphere - Looking south down the strip from the upper observation deck on the Stratosphere tower.
Winged Bronze - Impressive bronze deco statue at Hoover Dam.
Luxor Sphinx - Still a pretty impressive sight,, even after all that has been built in Las Vegas since the Luxor.
Guardian of Ra - One of the fine pieces of public art stands watch on either side of the entrance to the Ra nightclub at Luxor.
Old Timers - Stop at the the Nevada Historical Museum on the way back from Hoover Dam.
Holy Cow Brewery - As far as I know, the first microbrewery in Las Vegas. Good beer, good eats.
Mirage Volcano - One darn effective traffic stopper.
