Eric and I went to Las Vegas and the Grand Canyon for a few days. I had received a great promotion from Hilton Grand Vacations which included a $100 credit, $30 in gambling chips and a free night at a Hilton. All I had to do was sit through a boring time share sales presentation. I remember when I would sit through these just for a beach towel.
This is a chocolate fountain in one of the newer hotels. I could just imagine opening my mouth under the dark chocolate.
Here's a canoe sculpture. It amazes me how artists get their ideas. Maybe I'll dream up something creative to glue together.
I always enjoy the choreographed fountains at the Bellagio Hotel. We were lucky and saw two or three shows back to back, since they were testing new songs.
The casinos were very good to me. I turned my $30 of free chips into $35 of real money. I can't believe I played $25 on one spin of roulette. The slots were kind to me also. I won every day except one.
Everything has gotten really expensive in Las Vegas. I remember when the dinner buffet was about $10. Now it is about three times that. Breakfast was about $35 for the two of us, whether we ordered off the menu or had the buffet.
Can you guess which is the Paris Hotel in Las Vegas and which is the Eiffel Tower in Paris?
We took a day trip to the Grand Canyon. Eric had spent 8 days rafting down the Colorado River and now he had a chance to see the canyon from the rim. There were no barriers at all. I'm sure some people go over the edge. The closest I got was about 10 feet from the edge.
Another Las Vegas hotel hits the dust. The Sahara closed earlier this year. They were selling whatever was left to the public, but we couldn't fine the entrance.
This is a reflection of a condo in the unfinished bankrupt Fountainbleau project.
